Fourth of July Wooden Hanging Sign

 Hi everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. This week we encountered floods and tornado warnings in our area. We are all fine, but it worried a lot of us. The sun decided to finally make an appearance. Perfect timing to create another quick and easy Fourth of July craft. 

 I am sharing a quick Fourth of July wooden sign craft. I still have a few festive decorations lying around my craft room. 

I am also reusing my wooden sign from an older project. So if you have an older wooden sign that you would love to give a quick transformation to, this craft is perfect for you!

Materials

One wooden sign- I am reusing my wooden sign from an older project

 The sign size is 11 x 8

Foam scatter stars- I purchased a bag at my local Dollar Tree store

Tulle or ribbon

Paintbrushes

Acrylic paint- Red, white and blue

Adhesive- I am using both E6000 and hot glue

Scissors

Applying paint to a wooden sign

Begin by adding your acrylic paints to your wooden board.

 I decided to reuse a wooden board from an older project.

 I sanded off the previous design before applying acrylic paint to my board. 

I used my blow dryer to help with the drying process.

Attaching foam stars to wooden sign

Next,  add your foam stars; take adhesive to attach your star decorations to your board. 

I added three stars on each section of my wooden sign. 

I ended up using a total of nine stars.

Adding tulle to wooden sign

After, take your tulle or ribbon and cut sections to create a bow. 

 I cut three sections. Next, I folded each section and pinched off the middle of each one. I used twine and wrapped it around the middle of the tulle. Tie it off and cut any of the remaining twine.

 Feel free and create your bow how you would like. You can also use ribbon if you choose.

Lastly, take your bow and add it to your wooden sign. I used both E6000 and hot glue when attaching my bow.  I do this because where I hang it gets very hot and I wanted to make sure there was zero chance of my embellishments falling off. 

Your Fourth of July wooden sign is complete. I love how easy it was to create this simple decoration. You could also add a mini grapevine wreath just below your bow. Also, a quick way to customize your sign is to add wooden letters or vinyl letters, or you could leave it as is. As always, thank you so much for stopping by and creating with me. I appreciate every single one of you.
