DIY Spring Decor: Bee Happy Decoration

 Hello everyone! Today, I would love to share an easy DIY project with all of you. Recently, during one of my trips to my local Michaels store, I purchased this cute little plywood beehive decoration, and I knew I wanted to create something for spring. It was the perfect decoration to add a bit of my creative twist and some lettering. For this project, I used my Cricut machine to create the letters. You can use any lettering, vinyl, stickers, or paint markers. I will provide you with a list of materials. If you're ready, let's get started.

Materials for plywood beehive craft

Materials:
-One plywood beehive sign
-Acrylic paint: I'm using white, brown, and yellow.
-Paintbrush and/or sponge brush
-Hot glue
-Craft moss
-Lettering: stickers or vinyl letters. I used my Cricut machine to create the letters.

Applying Acrylic paint
I started by applying my brown acrylic paint to the outer surfaces of the beehive using a sponge brush. I added a bit of paint and a little water to a glass jar. By adding water, I could thin the paint before applying it.

 After that, I used a smaller paintbrush to apply yellow paint to the honeycomb sections of the design. Using a smaller paintbrush was helpful, as these areas were much too small for the sponge brush. 
I also painted the bee, along with the middle section of the decoration.

Adding craft moss, lettering, and flowers
I used hot glue to attach craft moss around the inner section of the decoration. Then, I added the letters I created with my Cricut machine; however, you can also use sticker letters if you prefer. Finally, I attached my artificial flowers to complete the decoration.
