DIY 3-Dimensional Spring Sign

The sun was out a little bit this week and it gave me a yearning for Spring. One of the things I love to do most is decorate the porch of our new home for each season. I thought maybe decorating our porch for Spring would make the warm weather arrive faster LOL.

I also love making my wooden signs. I haven’t made a giant wood sign for Spring yet. So the other day I dropped by the hardware store and picked up a simple pine board for $7, with the intention of making a Spring sign for our NEW home.

DIY 3-Dimensional Spring Sign

I’ve made quite a few different signs over the past few years and I am always trying to challenge myself to make new sign ideas. I ended up experimenting with a few different ways of making a Spring sign. I striped the sign and didn’t like it. I painted it and added stripes of ribbon and didn’t like it. I added ribbon to the edges of the sign and didn’t like it. I came to the decision that what I DO like is very SIMPLE BRIGHT & COLORFUL things best.

So in the end, I ended up spray painting the board a bright blue. Then I added HI wood letters, which I painted a bright, contrasting yellow.

I loved the idea of making the HI letters 3-dimensional – I thought it would give the sign a more MODERN look. So I raised the HI letters off of the board by gluing them to the board, using wall anchors. I needed something tall and thin that would fit behind the letters and hold them away from the board. I cut the pointy ends of the anchors off so they were straight on both ends and I used heavy-duty adhesive on each end of the anchors to connect the HI wood letters to the blue board. I tried hot glue first but it wasn’t heavy enough to hold the HI letters onto the board.

It was hard to be patient, but the glue I used had to set up for 24 hours before I could use the sign. I think my name should be impatient crafter. I had a hard time waiting for the glue to dry!! But in the end I was happy I used something that will make my sign last throughout the hot days of summer which will hopefully be arriving soon.

I LOVE my SIMPLE bright and happy sign.

Stay tuned for more COLORFUL HAPPY HOME projects. They will be coming all year long.

    Did you mention in the post somewhere about how you made the “Hi” letters? Or did you buy them?

      Hi!! The letters are from Hobby Lobby. I think it was around $6 but you can also use your 40% off coupon and it would be around $4?
