DIY Welcome Spring Sign

March 18, 2015

Spring is coming!!  If you’re a regular reader you have seen a familiar theme: SPRING! I guess I ‘m really excited for spring.  There is some grass showing in our yard.  Yippee!!!  OK back on topic.  I wanted something colorful to welcome spring so I created this quick & easy DIY Welcome Spring Sign to hang proudly on my home.

Second Chance to Dream: Welcome Spring #spring #DIY

Here are the supplies I thought I’d be using.  LOL!  I always start with what I think will be my supplies and then when I get done, the vision has often changed and so have the supplies.  This project was no exception.    The one thing that stayed the same was my inspiration piece, a wooden chalkboard placemat.  I found the placemat at Michaels on sale.

Because this was a  wooden placemat and there was no way to hang it I drilled  holes in the corner.  If you don’t trust your drilling skills or don’t have access to a drill you could always hot glue your hanger.

Next, I used a permanent chalk marker and went around the edge doodling a line around the placemat.

I originally wanted to write, with the chalk marker the words “Welcome Spring”.  So I sketched it on with a piece of chalk and then wanted to go over it with my marker but that idea wouldn’t work.  So, I thought why not bring out my Silhouette machine and cut it out with vinyl. I chose my font and the vinyl I wanted to use and got to work.

Cut; out words

Once I got the vinyl in place I took off the transfer paper to enjoy my work.

I originally wanted to use the flowers I showed in the supply picture but when I placed them on there I didn’t like them.  So, back to my handy Silhouette to cut out various flowers and leaves in fun colors.  I took a piece of rick rac to use as a hanger but you could use ribbon or twine to hang it from.  Also, since my vinyl is an outdoor vinyl I can hang this outside on my covered front porch or I can hang inside. So where will I hang it?

    Great post! Definitely an awesome idea, and very pretty. Another good idea if you don' have the time to make one yourself would be having a durable reusable custom yard sign made! Thanks for sharing!
