Lemonade stand
When we think of summer fun, it always includes sweet lemonade so we thought we would spruce up the lemonade stand we found at a yard sale for a whoppin’ $4. Loving our lemonade stand, a quick redo!
Before it was just white with some chalkboard paint. Kind of bland, right? We added some bright yellow vinyl lettering in the perfect font, a cheery banner with fun summer colors/prints and a striped awning to complete the look. Include our sweet Saira in a ruffly apron and we’re ready to sell some lemonade! 😉
To make the awning I simply stitched together strips of white/pink material, hemmed the top and cut scallops on the bottom by hand. I used translucent Velcro to keep everything in place, but handy that it can come off for a quick wash. The gray bar you see peeking out on the sides of the awning is actually a cheap curtain rod! The bunting was also super easy, just fun fabric prints cut into triangles and topped off with green ric-rac:
Oh, and because my original idea was to put the lemonade lettering on the top part of the stand, I now have an extra… that we’re giving away to one lucky winner!
Simply leave a comment!
Wow! This looks like a lot of fun!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It was a fun project 🙂
Such a small, splendid craft, great job you two ! Thanks for sharing this !
Thank you!
Please please please tell me where you got the vinyl lettering!!
We own a vinyl business and cut it long ago 🙂 I can’t recall exactly which font now but Rio Grande is pretty similar, I think from DaFont.com.
I love your lemonade stand! Especially the font! Do you know what it’s called? Or do you remember where you found the letters? Thank you!
Hi Cheryl! I can’t recall exactly which font now but Rio Grande is pretty similar, I think from DaFont.com (: Thanks!
