DIY Press for Champagne Sign

My baby sister (she will always be little to me) and her husband are moving into their first place. And she has asked me to help diy some decorations, and this is one of the ideas she requested. I'm so excited! Longtime blog readers have noticed this in my room for a year now, and after many requests, I'm finally sharing this DIY with you!

You've seen these right? I had a pic forever saved onto my computer as inspiration, then I saw they were being sold for crazy expensive prices, so I decided to make my own. I thought about the components of the sign, broke it down in my mind, made a shopping list, and set out to make one. It is so easy and can be customized exactly how you'd like! This cost me $10 to make (I've seen them sold for $70).

First, find your picture frame. I chose an oval frame that closely resembles the Ikea frame I have in my room. I got mine at a discount store for CHEAP since the glass was broken--holla! I chose a smaller frame, so I removed the backing stand so I could hang it later. My decor is silver, so I painted it to match my frame and let it dry. The inspiration pic I had was with a brass frame and brass bell.


Time to print your sign! This takes some trial and error since you need to make sure it fits in your frame--much easier with a square frame. I used the Calibri font in size 90 using MS Word. I used the frame insert and traced around it before cutting it out and putting in the frame.

Next, you'll need to find your bell. I found mine for $5 at a junk shop, but I have seen these at hardware stores like Lowes and online for $5-$10. If you are looking to actually have it buzz, email me and I can give you some basic circuit info. This is totally optional but I chose to paint mine.

Use a glue gun to attach the bell to the paper. Hang and you're done!
