Today I am sharing an easy project. We are creating two Spring hanging designs using bamboo serving boards. I purchased these boards at my local Big Lots store. It was two for five dollars. I actually was not sure what I was going to do with them, but the other day I figured it out. I will provide a step-by-step tutorial, a material list, and a video tutorial will also be included. Happy crafting!

Main materials
Hot glue or any adhesive of your choice
Floral cutters
Twine
Faux floral
Pencil
Scissors
Paintbrush
Acrylic paint
First design
One wooden serving board
One decorative napkin
Mod Podge
Second design
Ribbon
One craft chalkboard watering can
Floral sticker
Painting the serving board
Begin by applying your acrylic paint to your wooden serving board.
Adding the decorative napkin
Next, take your decorative napkin and unfold it. Place your napkin on top of your painted board and begin to trace out the center of your board. If your napkin has a second layer be sure to remove it. Take your scissors and cut out your traced circle.
Take your Mod Podge and use your paintbrush to apply a thin layer of your Mod Podge to the center of your board. Place your traced circle over the Mod Podge and gently press it down. I always use my blow dryer between each coat of Mod Podge. Apply a second layer of your Mod Podge to the top of your napkin.
Adding the flowers and twine
Now you are ready to add your twine through the top hole and tie it off. This will be used for hanging your design. You can also add a bow, but that is entirely optional. Use your floral cutters and remove just the tops of your flowers. Add them to your board using your adhesive.
For the following design, I decided to apply white acrylic paint.
Adding ribbon
I added a ribbon to this design. I cut it to size and added it across the center of my board.
Adding flowers
Next, use your floral cutters to cut your flowers. Begin to add your flowers to your board using your adhesive. I glued a few of my flowers just below my ribbon and I also slipped a few of my flowers into the ribbon.
Adding stickers and other decorations
I found these craft chalkboard watering cans at my local Dollar Tree. I wanted to add one to my design after adding my yellow paint to it.
This is optional, but you can add a floral sticker to your watering can. I thought it was a pretty addition to it.
Finish off your design by adding your twine and adding a bow, which is optional.
Your Spring hanging decorations are complete. I love how simple this craft was to create.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share my latest craft with you all. Today, we will be creating a floral winter tray using a bamboo cutting board from Dollar Tree. I often come across these bamboo cutting boards at my local Dollar Tree, and this time, I decided to pick one up. This craft is simple and budget-friendly. Join me as we make a winter floral tray using just a few materials! Video tutorial Materials One bamboo cutting board Winter faux foliage Paintbrush Hot glue Four wooden beads Acrylic paint Optional faux mini trees Begin by applying acrylic paint to the wooden cutting board. I decided to mix two colors together: white and English ivy green. Next, take four wooden beads and use hot glue to attach them to the underside of the board. I had a few extra beads from a previous project. After that, attach the faux foliage to the wooden board using hot glue. Depending on how you want to display the items on your board, arrange the foliage around the edges. This will ensure enou...
Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I hope you are doing well. If you're anything like me, I have a few glass jars that I have washed and set aside, waiting for the perfect opportunity to use them in a craft.

Hi everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive. Fall is my favorite season of them all. I love the golden leaves, hot apple cider by the fire pit, sitting out in the evenings roasting marshmallows. It is simply the best for me. Do you have a favorite season? What do you enjoy about it? Today I am sharing a quick upcycle craft. I decided to use my glass Oui yogurt jars. I love these little jars and what a perfect way to reuse them. I will show you how to decorate these jars using mod podge, and acrylic paint. We will add faux flowers to each glass jar as well.
