Don't you just love Spring? The weather's getting warmer, nature's perking up & everything gets a new start. Even us humans. Which is why I chose the words 'Grow' and 'Bloom' for these pretty Springtime displays. Because we could all use a little encouragement to be our best selves.
These sweet signs come together in a snap & add a positive & pretty touch to any area of your home. I got everything to make these at Dollar Tree! Dollar Tree is at the top of my list when seeking out craft finds & holiday decor. They always have a huge selection of goodies for making any celebration beautiful. And every thing is only a dollar!
In addition to being easy, this project is also incredibly affordable. A quick trip to Dollar Tree & $3 later & I was ready to go. You'll need:
- 8x10 Photo Frame
- Foam Core Board (white)
- Package of Gold Thumbtacks (300 per box)
- Pencil
- Box cutter or scissors
- Paint, paintbrush
- Plastic fork, metallic gold paint (optional)
- Printed letters in word of choice
Start by opening your photo frame & carefully removing the inside liner paper & glass front. Using it as a guide, trace the dimensions on a corner of your foam board. Very carefully, cut your piece of foam along the traced lines, so you have an 8x10 piece.
Paint the foam your desired color & let dry thoroughly.
If desired, use a plastic form & gold metallic paint to create a 'scratched' pattern on the painted foam board. Dip the fork in the paint & randomly, create hashtags, scratches & random marks until you have reached your desired look.
While your foam board is drying, create your lettering template on a computer using your favorite font. Be sure that you adjust your page settings so that your word fits on a landscape 8x10 area. Once you've created your word, print it & cut it out.
Position the cut word on your foam board & trace around the edges, creating a template for your thumbtacks.
Taking extra care not to stick yourself, push in the tacks to create your letters. I used almost an entire box of 300 thumbs tacks per board. I layered & overlapped the tacks to achieve my desired look.
Place the foam board inside your frame (make sure the glass has been removed!) & reattach the back, making sure you secure the backing tightly. Now place in your favorite nook or hang on that wall that needs a bright boost!
