Spring is FINALLY in the air, for a couple of days at least!
I saw a similar spring board on a blog, but have no clue where.
I put my own little spin on it and I think it turned out cute.
Items you'll need:
Board
sand paper
circle stickers
paint of your choice
stencils, Cricut or letters
Mod Podge
ribbon
This craft didn't cost me anything because I had all the supplies at home. I have no clue where I bought this board, but I'm glad I can find a use for it. I saw some boards at Dollar Tree that had lame saying on them, that you could just paint over. Or they have some at JoAnns.
Here we go.
1. I sanded the rough areas.
2. Put your round stickers where ever you want dots. I learned this at one of those pottery places. It works well most often, but it depends on your stickers. I use random sizes because I didn't want all the dots the same. (FYI- the stickers on the sides didn't work as well as I hoped. It could be user error though!)
3. Paint your board with a light color. I ended up doing three coats because it wasn't as light as I wanted. It still ended up too dark by the time it dried, but I was done by then.
(Sorry for the horrible pic)
4. Let your paint dry all the way, then peel off your stickers. Presto. Perfect circles.
5. Paint your circles the colors you want.
6. Cut out your letters. I used Cricut's Lyrical because it had a shadow as well as normal letters.
7. Mod Podge your letters on as well as the whole board ( to get that glossy look!)
8. Put a cute ribbon as decoration.
9. Put on a cute stand. This stand I found at Dollar Tree. It had the word "friends" on the front and was black. I just took the word off and spray painted it white. I think it goes well with the sign and for $1.00 it fits my budget.
What decorations do you use in your home for spring time?
