To the right is our UCF flag which goes outside our premises every Sunday, and to the left an orange and purple roll-up banner which says "Hope"
Down the sides of said banner there are info panels about the story tent, held in place with bulldog clips.
Not the most professional of signs! I got my banner for £5 from a bloke on Swaffham Market - and have always intended to repaint it. It clearly came originally from Hope Community Church in Wymondham - but it had some spelling mistakes on it. I suspect that the church were given a replacement and this one wasn't worth keeping. Bob sprayed over the words with orange paint, leaving just 'hope'. Last year I did not use the banner. But I wanted to do something positive this summer, like paint "Story Tent"on it.
Then I had a message from a friend - her son was having a clear out, did I want any spray graffiti paint?
Well you know me - why spend money when the item is being offered for free? I cut out some letters and stars from scrap paper. I laid the banner on the lawn and sprayed three yellow bands across it.
Then I put the letters and stars in place, and sprayed with blue paint. Peeled them off, and voila! Now it says all I need
And here it is in front of the tent on Saturday
Yes that is my sewing machine on the table. The British Legion had a "name the bear" competition. As the winner was announced I sewed a name label for the tee-shirt - here's Grant from the Legion holding Caramel
Very handy being offered the paint you needed and what a gi-normous bear.
ReplyDeleteHope the story telling went well
What a creative re-use of both the banner and the paint! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, especially when it comes to recycling and reusing things you have on hand!
