Gift Idea: Happy Birthday Sign!

We participated in Crazy Christmas Crafters

 

This week, we were featured by kicking off the “Gift Ideas” with a Happy Birthday Board! This is a GREAT gift because it can be used year-round to remind us of upcoming birthdays! No one likes sending out “Belated Birthday” cards anyway right?! This is a super cute way to remind yourself of the birthdays for friends and family members! Heck, you could add Holidays and Anniversaries too!

1. Gathered materials:
For the board you will need: a board, knob or hook, knock-off texture spray, paint and vinyl and vinyl machine (optional)

For the tags you will need: ribbon, cardstock and a way to write on the names and dates. We used vinyl but you could write it on or use scrapbook stickers or whatever! The possibilities are endless!

2. We used knock-off spray texture to cover the board, let dry completely.

4. Spray the board with your base color. We used Krylon white. Let dry completely.

(See the texture it leaves on the board. It looks great painted! L.O.V.E!)

5. While the paint is drying, use your Silhouette, Cricut or create a stencil by hand. We used the Silhouette and vinyl to create the text “Happy Birthday!” Don’t you LOVE the birthday candle for the “I”?

We cut these tags out with the Silhouette and added some ink to the edges for a distressed look!

6. Apply your stencil to the board and use your top color of spray paint to cover the entire board. We used Rustoleum Black spray paint. Again, let dry completely.

10. Then you’re done! You have a fabulous gift to give for Christmas! We plan on giving this one to Savannah’s mom!

The VERY BEST part of this project is that between the two of us, we had EVERYTHING we needed for this project on hand!! Total cost: $0! That makes the hubs veeeery happy!
