Holiday Sign

 
Okay so it is a holiday and Seasons sign but when it is Spring and Summer here in Utah after a long winter I feel as if it is more of a holiday . . . whose with me on that one? . . . yes everyone agrees who lives in Utah, I thought so!

Here is what you need:

12×6 Big Board (with a hole on the right side for the knob)

2-Small Boards (two holes on each corner for ribbon)

1 Sheet of Designer Polka Dot Paper

4 Sheets of Holiday Paper

Vinyl: It’s Spring, Summer, 4th of July, Easter (you can mix it up but this is what I did)

Brown ribbon or I used tulle

1 Knob

Mod Podge

Foam Brush

Sand Paper

Here is how to do it:
*Mod Podge all the wood like I did in these picture frames with any color paper you wish
*Sand off edges
*Stain (if you wish) the edges of the board
*Screw in knob of your choice (hobby lobby or anthropology has cute knobs)
*Stick the vinyl (make sure to do it as low to the bottom as possible so the ribbon or tulle doesn't cover it
*Thread the ribbon through and hang
*DISPLAY and wait for chocolate to appear!



Okay, back to reality. Hurry and get this done before Easter because if you're like me then you will want this baby sitting in your house reminding you that CHOCOLATE is on it’s way!!

  Since Easter is only one day and lets face it here in Utah it seems to not feel like spring until May so I made the flip side to say spring so when Easter is over I can still have it out.

 It goes perfect with my other decor. Don't you just love the carrot garland. You can seem to make anything into a garland these days.

I have another wood saying to hang on the "IT'S" board and I will be displaying that later because it says summer and on the flip side it says the 4th of July.

mod podge frames

I am obsessed with decorations but I'm sure like many of you after Halloween, Thanksgiving, then Christmas you are all decored out. I was wrong, I love it year round. I already had these plain wood frames and the paper so I thought lets put them to use.  For the spa/v-day party I threw for the girls in my family I made these to add a little color to the table.
Things you will need:

Mod Podge
Wood frame (any craft store)
Embellishments
Exacto knife (this is makes the project so much easier)
Sponge brush
Paint

Here is how I did it:

1. brush mod podge all over the wood frame and lay the paper on starting at one end and smoothing it as you lay it down.

Cut out the edges and center part of the frame with the exacto knife.

Paint all the exposed wood you see whatever color you like. I personally like a darker color.

then you antique it by quickly brushing the edges of the frame.



p.s. This is super fast and I completed it all while Jax (my baby boy) took a nap.
