DIY Ribbon Flower Sign

*Wood slats-Hobby Lobby

*Large popsicles sticks

*Ribbon of choice

*Jute rope

*Half wood bead

The first step is to lay all four of the wood slats down and glue four popsicle sticks to the back to make your surface. If you choose, you can use a ready made surface to save you time.

Your surface should look like the one below once you have done the previous step.

Next, I used the color black currant to paint my surface. I used a chip brush for this as I didn’t want 100% coverage.

As that dried, I took my ribbon and stacked each design together and cut them in the shape of flower petals. I ended up not using the color on the bottom right. All three of the ribbons I used came from Hobby Lobby.

I then arranged my flower petals somewhat in the shape of a flower. For the center of the flower I used rope twine and simply wrapped it around in circles until all of the inside edges of my flower petals(ribbon) were covered.

Now we have a our cute little flower. I wanted to put something in the center to hide my hot glue from where I started my jute rope so I painted a half wood bead with the same black currant color and glued that in the center. You can find the half wood beads like I used right HERE using my affiliate link.

I just love how this turned out! The perfect piece of decor for Spring and even Summer if you please!

DIY Easter Gift Bag Sign

Hello friends, I wanted to share this super fun and easy Easter craft with you all! This is all stuff that I had on hand and finally decided to do something with! HaHa!

For this craft, you will need:

*Decorative gift bag-mine came from the Dollar Tree

*Surface of choice-mine came from Hobby Lobby

*Mod Podge

*Ribbon to match for the trim

*Fabric for bow

*Buttons

The first step is to cut your gift bag down to fit on your surface. Don’t worry about getting the edges perfect as we will use a skinny ribbon to trim out the edges.

Next, I simply took mod podge and glued my piece of gift bag to my surface.

As you can see, my edges are a little rough! That’s where this pink ribbon comes in handy! I believe this ribbon came from Wal-mart but just use whatever you have that matches your gift bag.

I then used some teal buttons and glued one in each of the corners to hide the seams where the ribbon comes together.

To finish it off, I took some scrap fabric and made a cute little rag bow!

Who would have thought you could make such a cute piece of decor using a Dollar Tree gift bag, right?

Dollar Tree Easter Egg Wreath

You may have remembered me saying recently that I had been to my local Dollar Tree for over a month. However, when I finally went, I was very surprised to see all of the changes and new items they had! Definitely an upgrade from what the had before as far as the decor and crafting supplies go. This is a super fun and easy Easter wreath using almost all Dollar Tree items!

You will need:

*Wire egg form-Dollar Tree

*Chunky white yarn-Hobby Lobby

*Decorative Easter eggs-Dollar Tree

*Decorative picks-Dollar Tree

*Ribbon-Dollar Tree

I ended up not using the larger eggs pictured above.

The first thing I did was take my chunky yarn and wrap it around my egg form. I simply hot glued my starting point to the egg form and continued wrapping the yarn around securing with hot glue as needed. As you can see, I used white yarn but any Spring color would be cute!

Once I had my wreath completely wrapped with yarn I pulled all of the eggs off of my picks and glued them around the egg leaving an opening at the bottom for my bow.

Next, I took the berry looking picks and cut pieces of each color off of the stem to use as fillers between the eggs I just glued on.

This is how it looks once everything is glued on. Of course you could always tweak it and make it your own by adding more to it but I deciding to leave mine like this!

Now for the bow. I found this super cute ribbon at Dollar Tree also. I simply took four pieces of this ribbon cut at roughly 5 inches wide and stacked them on top of each other. I used a skinny piece of ribbon and tied it tightly in the center of the ribbons. I then fanned my bow out, glued it on my wreath, and added another piece of the berry pick to the center to finish it off!

So, what do you think? Easy, cute and budget friendly! You can’t go wrong with this one!

Picture Frame Americana Decor

You will need:

*picture fame-mine came from Hobby Lobby

*scrapbook paper-Hobby Lobby

*USA truck hanger-Hobby Lobby

*burlap

*ribbon if bow is desired

The first step is to open the frame up and replace the insert with your scrapbook paper. Any patriotic pattern of paper will work.

Next, I glued a piece of burlap in the center of the frame on top of the glass.

I then added the truck to the top of the burlap.

Now you can either leave it as is and use it as a shelf sitter, or you can add a bow and a piece of twine to make a hanging sign.

So stinkin’ cute, am I right? I think this took me a total of 5 minutes to make! Will you be making one for yourself?

Home Sweet Home Hanging Sign

You will need:

*Surface of choice-mine is from Hobby Lobby

*Home sweet home cut-out-Hobby Lobby

*Scrapbook paper

*Mod podge

*Jute rope

*Ribbon/raffia if bow is desired

The first thing I did was mod podge my scrapbook paper to my surface. As you can see my paper wasn’t quite wide enough to fit my surface. This is wear the jute rope comes in.

Next I painted my cut-out with the color Bohemian Blue from the DIY Paint Co.

After my paint was dry, I took my Posca paint pen and added some detailing. You can use any paint pen for this but here is the link for the ones I prefer. https://amzn.to/3je1kOI


Next, I glued my cut out out on to my surface and added two pieces of jute rope to each side to fill the gaps where the scrapbook paper didn’t cover.

To finish of the project I made a simple crisscross bow with ribbon and raffia. If you prefer to hang your sign like I did, simply glue a piece of twine to the back. This turned out cuter than I had imagined it would!

Valentine Cookie Cutter Sign

You will need:

*Surface of your choice

*Valentine cookie cutters-Walmart

*Paint

*Glitter-optional

*Jute twine or rope

*Embellishments of choice

For this project I used a piece of scrap wood that I had laying around, but you could use any surface you choose. I found these Valentines cookie cutters at Walmart. The first thing I did was to get my paint on my paper plate.

Next, simply dip your cookie cutters in your desired paint color and transfer to your surface. You may have to re-dip the cookie cutters a few times to get bolder lines.

Once I was done with the cookie cutters, I then used different embellishments I had on hand to dress it up a bit. I also sprinkled some red glitter over my paint while it was still wet. I found these burlap hearts at Hobby Lobby and then just added a cute little button to the middle of the hearts. For the arrow, I used a metal key embellishment that you can find HERE on Amazon.

To finish off the project, I took a piece of burlap and a piece of ribbon to make a cute little bow. I used a piece of twine to bunch the ribbon together in the middle and then finished off by adding a button to the center.
