DIY Happy Spring Sign

Today we are working on a happy spring sign. This sign is perfect to welcome in the Spring season. I went to my local Dollar Tree, and I was able to finally find the fluffy bunny bottom! Of course, I decided to add that to this project. If you're ready let's create your very own Happy Spring sign.

Start off by taking your wood panel, and applying white paint to the front, top, bottom, and sides of your panel. Apply around two coats of paint, and then set it aside to allow it to dry. If you have a heat gun or blow dryer you can use that to help speed along the drying process.

Next, take your napkin, and unfold it. Lay the decorative side up on the inside of your wood panel. If your wood panel is flat, just lay it on top. Using a pencil, begin to trace out your napkin. You will trace just enough to fit on the inside, or on top of your panel. 

Take your scissors and cut around the traced lines, and remove any of the extra leftover napkins. Be sure to remove the bottom layer of the napkin. After removing the bottom layer, your napkin will be thinner, and ready for when applied on top of the mod podge.

You are now ready to take your wood panel and apply a thin layer of mod podge using your sponge brush.

After you have applied a thin layer of mod podge, set your napkin on top, and gently press your napkin down. Take your sponge brush, and apply a thin layer of mod podge on top of your napkin. Be sure to smooth out any wrinkles, and bubbles. I used a blow dryer to help with drying. This also helped with removing any wrinkles, and bubbles that I may have missed.

Next, take your moss, and spread it out. Use your hot glue, and apply it to the bottom section of your wood panel. After, apply the moss on top of your hot glue. 

Take your wood tiles, and arrange them on the top corner, and bottom corner of your sign. I chose to go with the words happy, and Spring. Be sure to arrange them first, and then apply your hot glue once you are ready to add them to your wood panel.

Next, take your bunny bottom, and add it to the bottom corner of your sign. 

Take your felt stickers, and add them behind the moss. I used two of my felt carrots. Next, use your floral snips to cut your floral down to the desired size you are wanting. I cut a smaller section since my wood panel is smaller. Take some of your hot glue, and add your floral onto your wood panel. I chose to add my floral near the bunny bottom.

Once the front side is complete, flip your sign over. Using your scissors, cut a medium strand of twine. Take your hot glue, and add your twine. To give your sign extra hanging strength, take two blocks, and add them on top of the bottom ends of the twine. I added extra hot glue and firmly pressed the blocks down. 

Your sign is now complete. This sign is perfect for any space. You can display it in your kitchen on a pantry door, on your front door, or even in a guest room. 

I hope you all have enjoyed this fun project. Be sure to let me know if you decide to create your very own. I love hearing from all of you.
