I wanted to come up with a way to 'junk up' my "kitchen cupboards (click here)", so I cut squares of black coroplast for inserts and stuck stuff to it. The outcome is a little crazy for sure, but it reflects what I play around with today, without a doubt!
I thought you'd get a kick out of this. It was just a neat feeling to think of Letterville while hauling out the 'ol coroplast once again. Signs and this group will always be the root of so many things I do.
I haven't quite bit the full bullet yet doing this as my sole income but I'm close. Down to one regular firetruck customer, (I think it's habit at this point!), I'm pretty thrilled that others seem to be getting what I do. Whatever that is!
You can actually make a living by sharing what you love without selling a thing. Who knew! Who knew...

I have about a dozen sheets of various colors taking up space in the shop. Thanks for reminding me that there are other neat uses for this inexpensive material.

Donna, you gave me a great idea! I've been doing a lot of coro signs for elections, contractors, events, etc & I usually try to keep 1 as a sample. Thinking when I finally re-do the office & showroom, I can check the flea market sites for old cabinets & use those "samples" as you have here. That would be a cool showroom, I'm sure.
