I am addicted to making giant signs. And they are so inexpensive to make – only about $5 for the wood. Enjoy making these paper flowers!

I wanted to put a spin on the project for Spring. I thought adding paper flowers to the sign would be fun. And I was excited to use my new Cricut Explore cutting machine. It was such a fun project to make!

Here’s how I made the sign:

I cut a board to 48-inches in length. It’s just a plain, cheap wood board from the hardware store.

Then I spray painted the sign grey – which is the color I wanted to letters to be.

While the sign was drying, I cut out the words “CHOOSE HAPPY” with the Cricut Explore on vinyl and put it on transfer paper.

Then I laid the words out on the painted sign and attached the vinyl to the board.

The next thing I did was I spray painted the sign white, making sure there were no gaps in the edges of the vinyl.

Once the paint dried, I peeled off the vinyl, exposing the grey words.

Here’s how I made the flowers:

I selected some flower files on the Cricut Website. They are called “Giant Flowers“. And Cricut has a handy online guide that shows how to put them all together.

I basically made two types of flowers. One is a circular one that you wrap up. The second is a daisy flower. I cut them out in two different sizes.

To make the wrap up flowers, all I did was I started at the end without the circle and wrapped it around a pencil. When it came to the end and the circle, I hot glued the rolled up flower onto the circle. Then I just bent the outer leaves out to make it look like it was blooming.

I added some vintage buttons to the center of some of the flowers for a little extra bling.

Then I laid them all out on the board and hot glued them onto the board.

    I loved your “choose happy” sign. I was wondering how tall each of your letters are.

    I just want to make signs all the time as well, my question though, does a Circuit machine cut letters out that big ? Sorry I know nothing about them ? should I buy a big one ? what kind do you have so I could have the same size letters ? Sorry any help would be so grateful 🙂 Thank you so much 🙂 Have a great day.
