Please Remove Your Shoes!

Please Remove Your Shoes
How fun is this! I always feel awkward asking people to take off their shoes when they come inside….now I don’t have to (at least not as much)! This is a Please Remove Your Shoes sign/frame that hangs by my front door and I love it! Just think of all the mud and snow you WON’T have to clean off the carpet:)
1. Just use fun paper and mod podge fun paper onto the frame. Check out Mod Podging tips if you need to know how!
2. Sand around the edges to remove overhang paper and you are finished.
3. Apply your ‘Please Remove Your Shoes’ vinyl. Tell your vinyl lady that the font is ‘Larger Mime’ and it’s 1 inch tall by 8 inches long. ..or use your craft cutting machine. If you need info on vinyl 101 click here
4. I did stain the edges with an oak stain after I put the paper on…I had some in the garage and it worked out! { Love when that happens!}
***stain after you put the vinyl on!!! It works better{I promise!}***
5. Drill 2 holes in the top of the frame (Note: I got glass cut at the local auto glass shop). Make sure to drill before you put in your glass.
6. Push ribbon through the hole. I used a skewer to help push the ribbon through the hole. Hey, it works!
7. Tie a knot with the handle. These cute handles are from a local welder.
8. Place a picture of your children’s feet in it . I also like the saying, ’Please bare your soles!’ I made a bunch of these and gave them to my family. They loved how they got a craft and a picture of our kids! (well their feet, but they loved it)
Another idea to do with this frame: Place a picture of your child in it and put his/her name at the bottom.
Hint: when choosing paper to mod podge use SMALL PRINT (ya, I know I wrote that big, but small print looks the best!) Also, know the color of vinyl you are going to use. If you use a dark vinyl use light paper and light vinyl use dark paper. Easy enough…send pics our way. We want to see what you made!

I am trying to order the please remove shoes kit but keep getting page not found replies.
Help!
I am not crafty and really want to just pay someone to make above frame.
I like the comment with the friend who has clean, easy to wash slippers for guests to wear. Personally, if you invite my over & want me to remove my shoes to come in with nothing to replace them, I’d stay out.
I would love to buy one of the kits for the remove your shoes frame, but the link doesn’t work! Pleeeeease help.
Just wondering where can I get the handle??
