It’s time for another theme week! This week’s theme…

WOODEN SIGNS!

I went live yesterday making a fun wooden sign for Eden’s room (which will be on the blog this week!) It’s the simplest little sign to make… so I wanted to write out the steps and share how it ended up looking!

Here’s what you’ll need…

  • any wooden sign (mine came from Dollar Tree)
  • wooden cactus (Mine is from PopShelf, but I’ve seen them at Dollar Tree!)
  • Marsh Green and White paint from Apple Barrel
  • scrapbook paper
  • Mod Podge
  • scissors
  • sanding block
  • pen

Step 1: Take off the clip that came on your board. We won’t be needing it!

Step 2: Flip your scrapbook paper to the back. Trace out your board onto the frame to get the correct size of paper you will need! Cut out your tracing.

Step 3: Mod podge your cut out scrapbook paper onto your board. Sand down the edges to help make the paper look more seamless!

Step 4: Remove the base of the cactus, so the cactus lays flat. You will not need the base for this project!

Step 5: Mix together your Marsh Green and White paint. It creates the prettiest color green!

Step 6: paint your cactus completely. Once dry, use white paint to paint on some polka dots and highlights!

Step 7: hot glue your cactus onto your board.

THAT’S IT!!

Here’s how mine came out!!! This project cost me $2.25 to make… and will be the cutest addition to Eden’s bedroom!
