Fun Decorative Summer Sign

 Hi everyone! I'm so excited to bring you all this fun summer craft. Today we're creating this fun summer hanging sign. I was excited to find some items at a discount. If you're ready, I'll take you through each step to create your summer decorative sign.


Video tutorial




Materials

I found the floral at Michael's craft store for a discounted price of $0.79. 

I bought a summer-designed napkin at Dollar Tree for $1.25 per pack. 

The "Hello" wood décor was purchased at Michael's for $1.19, as well as the wood summer décor, which was also discounted. 

I only used the summer flip-flops for my craft, at $1.19 each. I'm using white and bright magenta paint.

 The wood square plaque measuring 10'' x 10'' was bought at Michael's for $5.99. 

I also got Mod Podge, a sponge brush or paintbrush, floral snips, scissors, and wire cutters, which are needed to remove the metal section from the summer wood décor pieces.


Begin by applying your white paint onto your wood plaque.  I applied a total of two coats of paint. In between coats you can use a heat gun or blow dryer to help with drying.


Next, take your napkin, and if your napkin is a 2-ply remove the second layer. After removing the second layer, cut one square section of your napkin.


  Take your sponge brush, and begin to apply a thin layer to the middle section of your wood.
Afterward, take your napkin, and lay it over the middle section of the Mod Podge.


Next, take your Mod Podge and apply it over the top surface of your napkin. You can use a heat gun, or blow dryer to help with drying your mod podge.


Next, take your wood hello décor, and add your paint.


Next, using your hot glue, add your glue to the back of your Hello décor, and glue it onto your wood panel.


Next, take your wood summer décor, and using wire cutters, remove the metal off of the end of it. Using hot glue, apply it onto the back of your wood summer décor, and add it to the bottom right-hand corner. 


After, take your floral snips, and begin to cut just the tops of your floral. I removed the stems, and I also kept some of the leaves.


Using some hot glue, apply a small amount on the back of each flower, and onto your leaf, and add them onto your wood panel. I added two just under my wood hello décor, and one next to the summer flip-flops.  



Your fun summer hanging sign is now complete, and ready for you to hang. I absolutely love how this craft turned out. I hope you all have enjoyed this simple DIY project.  Be sure to check out more tutorials here on my blog, and for more video tutorials visit, Steph Creates-DIY Home & Crafts.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

How I Styled 6 Fall Trays Using Simple Reused Decor

  This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Watch the video tutorial Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten...

Transforming a Dollar Tree Metal Home Sign with Paint

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality.
