What every Fire Station needs..........

EVERY Fire Station needs a fireman and a fire bell! 
Did you see my FIRE STATION post a few weeks ago?

 The Before and After even got a very nice feature over on
Apartment Therapy
Well I purchased the
Bell
Fire Bell with Red Lanyard - 4.5 pounds
and
Fire Suit!
Aeromax Jr. Fire Fighter Suit with Helmet, Size 4/6 - Tan

Aren’t they adorable!!
The station is almost complete!

I also made a sign and added it to the bridge.

Here is what I used:

• An old cedar fence picket ~{$1 at Home Depot}
• cardboard letters~{ Hobby Lobby}
• craft paint
• silhouette cut outs.

{I used the same technique as my Farm Fresh Eggs sign.}

First I laid everything out for proper spacing and to make sure I didn’t need to cut the picket

I gave the picket a coat of white paint.

After the paint was dry, I traced all the letters and cut outs.

Then I took a small brush and filled in with paint!

For my ‘fire’ I gave it 3 colors…

All traced and painted….took me less than an hour.

I purchased the fire emblem & flame in the Silhouette online store {99cents each}
Then typed the words FIRE DEPT. in the emblem and
cut it out on card stock.
Then on each end I used it as a stencil.

With a foam sponge I dabbed some white paint

and there you have it…….

a perfect addition to my son’s Fire Station!
Check out all the places I party!
