Personalize Your Space: DIY Floral Summer Sign on Plywood

I recently found a floral summer sign made of plywood at Michaels and decided to personalize it with some paint and lettering. I used my new Cricut Maker 3 for this DIY project and I'm excited to share the process with you. Join me as I show you how to paint and decorate this simple project.

Plywood floral sign with paint

Start by applying paint to your plywood sign. I started with white and yellow paint for the center of my sign.

Next, apply paint to each of the flowers on the sign. I used darker pink, yellow, light blue, and yellow colors.

Vinyl lettering that reads hello summer

After that, I used my Cricut Maker 3 to create a "hello summer" lettering using foil matte vinyl. You can use any lettering or stencil you prefer. This was my first time using the Mother's Day gift I received.

Working with the vinyl lettering

To apply my letters, I gently removed them with my weeding tool and added them to my sign.


Your "Hello Summer" sign is complete and ready to be displayed. Thank you for creating with me; I appreciate each one of you.

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.

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
