how to make a painted flower sign using wrapping paper

I’ve had this wood tulip leftover from this $5 Target wood kit for a couple of years now, and I was FINALLY able to put it to good use! If you like florals and fun colors, THIS is the project for you!!!

Click HERE to see what I did with the sunflower from this wood flower kit!

here’s what you’ll need…

*tap on the bolded items to shop my affiliate links!*

  • mondo llama wood tulip
  • 8×8 framed wood sign
  • cute ribbon & wrapping paper of choice
  • re-fabbed hot glue gun/hot glue
  • the best scissors!
  • paint brushes (check out my faves!!!)
  • mod podge
  • apple barrel paint: snow white, limeade and pink polish
  • folk art paint: conch shell

I picked up this $3.00 clearance sign at Michaels last week without a specific project in mind, but I’m so glad I did! I always love a sign that is already painted white and stained!

First, I painted my the top of the tulip the color Conch Shell! I looove this color!

I painted the stem and leaves the color Limeade mixed with white!

This light green shade is just what I had in mind!

While my flower was drying, I got to work with this fun wallpaper from Michaels!

I painted on a thin layer of Mod Podge and placed my wrapping paper onto the sign. Isn’t this paper gorgeous???

Next, I measured and cut 4 pieces of ribbon to go around the outside of my sign. I used small dots of hot glue to adhere it!

My flower was not quite dry yet, but I was too excited to wait any longer! I cut out a piece of green and white polka dot ribbon to go along my stem and a leftover piece of ric rac ribbon to separate where the flower and stem meet!

I was loving it, but I thought the tulip needed a little dimension! I brushed on a very small amount of Pink Polish by apple barrel, and added some white outlining.

I also outlined the leaves in the color limeade, I didn’t mix with white this time. This made a world of difference. Small changes like this can add so much dimension!

Here is the FINAL PRODUCT! This project only took me about 10 minutes and I spent LESS THAN $10 in supplies!! What do you think!?!?

Next time you see some cute wrapping paper, I hope you are able to see it in a new light! My job is to (hopefully) give you a little inspiration!

BE SURE TO PIN FOR LATER!!!
