I recently had the opportunity to guest post over at Lemon Tree Creations! For those of you who didn’t get the chance to see this super cute project….I thought I would share it again, on our blog!
ENJOY!
Now for my tutorial…
Bloom Sign
We have an AMAZING craft store where I live….which is where I bought my pre-cut wood to create my Bloom Sign, but you could easily cut it yourself!
You’ll need:
*Acrylic Paint {Black, 2 shades of Green, Cream, Yellow}
*Fine Glitter {Green & Yellow}
*Scrapbook Paper {3 different pages}
*Vinyl Lettering {Where You Are Planted}
*Wood Glue
*Mod Podge
*Foam Brush
*Sealant Spray
If you are cutting your own:
*2x10 Pine Board {to cut your “B”, “L”, “M” & Flowers}
*1/4'” thick pine board to cut flower embellishments
*2x4 to cut base flowers sit on
*Scroll Saw
Now, to get started…..
*Lay your letter “B” on your chosen scrapbook paper.
*Trace your letter {making sure the front of the letter is facing down}
*Cut out the letter “B”, just inside your lines.
*Paint your wooden letter “B” black {this may take a couple of coats"}
*With your foam brush, brush a coat of Mod Podge on the front of your wooden letter. Apply your scrapbook paper “B” and smooth out, so that there are not any bubbles.
*Set aside to dry.
*Once Dry, sand all of the front edges with sand paper. This will sand off all of the extra paper hanging off the front of the letter.
*Lay your letter “L” on your chosen scrapbook paper.
*Trace your letter {making sure the front of the letter is facing down}
*Cut out the letter “L” just inside your lines.
*Paint your wooden letter “L” black {this may take a couple of coats"}
*With your foam brush, brush a coat of Mod Podge on the front of your wooden letter. Apply your scrapbook paper “L” and smooth out, so that there are not any bubbles.
*Set aside to dry.
*Once Dry, sand all of the front edges with sand paper. This will sand off all of the extra paper hanging off the front of the letter.
*Paint your flowers {tops cream & bottoms green}
*Paint base flowers sit on black
*Paint the flower embellishments {yellow and light green}. When the paint is still wet on the front of the embellishment, dip in your glitter.
*Let Dry
*Apply the vinyl lettering to the base the flowers sit on.
*With the wood glue, glue the embellishments onto the flowers.
*With the wood glue, glue the flowers onto the base.
*Lay your letter “M” on your chosen scrapbook paper.
*Trace your letter {making sure the front of the letter is facing down}
*Cut out the letter “M” just inside your lines.
*Paint your wooden letter “M” black {this may take a couple of coats"}
*With your foam brush, brush a coat of Mod Podge on the front of your wooden letter. Apply your scrapbook paper “M” and smooth out, so that there are not any bubbles.
