Thin Blue Line Sign
Thin Blue Line Sign
From the Designer: "I have been wanting a version of a Thin Blue Line sign for some time to add to my gallery wall. This project was easy to make using basic craft supplies and an electronic cutting machine. It came together in under an hour - the most time consuming part was waiting on the paint to dry! Using adhesive vinyl is quicker and easier than stenciling the design. The layering on the design is easy enough for even a beginner to do."
