How To Make A Modern Farmhouse Sign

You smitten with modern farmhouse style, but it’s difficult for you to make a decoration that reflects a farmhouse style because you’re not really clear of what it means by Modern Farmhouse Style. Here I have a modern farmhouse sign decoration that would explain it. A modern farmhouse it’s actually a mix of a modern style meets farmhouse style. A modern style is clean and sleek. And the easiest base color to show modern is white. In the other hand, farmhouse is more country or traditional, and often looking rustic. How can the two of them meets together? Of course through the simplicity of both style and practicality that modern and farmhouse is looking for.

Modern and farmhouse are both simple and practical, you can mix the farmhouse’s traditional and a little rustic look into a clean and sleek of modern. Like for example my simple clean white and sleek cut of garden sign meets the rustic hand painted framed lines. Humble words of “my garden” is also a mix of a laid-back farmhouse wording of “my” and a clean wording of “GARDEN”. So, basically I use modern canvas and painted it with farmhouse. Although this project is more to work on the styles, I will still share with you the simple technical tutorial on how to make a modern farmhouse sign.

Things To Prepare

Try to use anything you can find at home or things you can upcycle. A similar material will do to make this modern farmhouse “my garden” sign :

A white plank
Dark blue acrylic paint
Black marker

How To Make

By understanding the modern elements that you can mix together with farmhouse :

1 .Have a white plank to work as the Farmhouse sign. It can be any material. wooden, pvc, steel plate, anything. Cut the plank into your desired size, with rectangle shape.

2 .Next is to paint a very dark blue on the white plank by hand. Let it looked a bit rough on finishing, to get the rusty farmhouse charm. Let it dry.

3 .Write the words “My Garden” by using black marker. And you’re done!

Basically, once you understand what is farmhouse and what is modern style and how you combine the two styles to create modern farmhouse look, the rest is easy. Any modern farmhouse would be easy for you to make. If you like some farmhouse look, check out my DIY Farmhouse Upcycled Pot Holder.

How To Make Tin Can Mini Spring Flower Cart

Flower cart is always a wonderful thing to see, especially a vintage look flower cart. Moreover if the cart filled with beautiful spring flowers, that would be a magical sight to watch. Since I don’t have any material to build a full size flower cart; I ended up making a Mini Spring Flower Cart from upcycling a square tin can. I had this idea circling around my mind for months and finally I get a time to finish it.

I made the Tin Can Mini Spring Flower Cart with trouble finding perfect things to create the cart handles and the wheels, because I insist to use things that physically resemble a handle and a wheel without changing it a bit. And also cheap and easy things to find. And luckily I found those things in a mini home depot; well, actually the bolt and nut is a pair that my husband always have; so the ring bolt that I found is the main treasure. I choose it because it’s looking very simple, just simply round. Okay, enough about my idealism, let’s start with how to make my flower cart!

Things To Prepared

Tin can in square shape
Bolt and nut (two pairs) / any shapes that looks like a pair of cart handle can be used
Ring bolt, any ring shape will do
White acrylic paint
Blue acrylic paint
Black marker
Glue

How To Make

Clean the square tin can and paint it with white acrylic paint.
Have the bolt + nut that will serve as the cart handle and the ring bolt as the cart wheels, sprayed in blue acrylic paint
Drill a hole to insert the bolt, ended with nut and secure it with glue so it won’t move. Make a pair of it to get the cart handle.
Glue the blue ring bolt to both of the side front of the flower cart.
Prepare a beautiful hand writing of “Spring Flowers” and write it on the both sides of the tin can spring flower cart by using a black marker.
Now your mini spring flower cart from upcycled tin can is ready to be added with lovely mini flowers. I used yellow and white Rose Moss.

Tips : You can use other mini flowers you like. The spring flower cart would look great with artificial flowers or as succulent mini pot holder too.

Interested to do a little crafty upcycling project? My Mini Spring Flower Cart from tin can would be a wonderful idea to try. Add more of your handmade spring decorations to your home. Or maybe as a DIY Mother’s Day Gift for your mom. Enjoy picking flowers you love for the mini flower cart, enjoy the spring bloom!

However, those with special gift in hand ready for your mom, you can get the inspiration of my easy Mother’s Day Card From Scrap Fabric. Like always, I share with you the tutorial on how to make the diy scrap fabric card.

I made this very easy card by adding a fabric flower as the focal point of the Mother’s day card. I chose flower because I guess almost all moms love flowers, I know my mom does. And I finished it of with simple sentiment; Happy Mother’s Day. This Mother’s Day card project is easy to make not just because it takes easy steps to make, but also easy supplies to find at home. I used the hardboard card from the old table calendar as a material for the card. So, basically the two main ingredients are recycling things. How do I make it possible? Check out below tutorial!

Things To Prepared

Take a look at your scrap fabric stash at home and find some pretty soft fabrics that would look great as fabric flower, then you are good to go. Very common things to be re-used to prepare this Mother’s Day Gift‘s best friend; a Mother’s Day Card.

Thick cardboard of the table calendar stand
Fabric scrap ( I chose pink shade with flowery pattern and a soft fabric )
White marker
UHU Glue

How To Make

As simple as the supplies, the making of this Mother’s Day Card From Scrap Fabric is also very simple. It’s a no sew fabric project so this Mother’s Day Card for Mother’s Day is a super easy DIY. Your would only need glue to do this fabric card! Anyway, let me share how I make this scrap fabric mother’s Day card.

Take an old table calendar and cut off the cardboard stand. I used a 5.5 x 8 inches cardboard as the card. My card is in black color which I think it’s a good contrast to the fabric flower.
My fabric came from a sleeve of an old dress I’ve upcycled. So I cut the fabric in ring connected ribbon. Cut the scrap fabric into 4 different widths from the biggest to the smallest. It’s around 2.1 inches width to the smallest around 1 inch. I didn’t measure it when I cut it, I just used my proportion instinct.
Apply some glue on the middle above card and glue the fabric into a wavy circle. do the same until the four fabric ribbon glued together. Remember to start from the biggest width fabric to the smallest. Let it dry.
Now it’s time for the writing job. Write “Happy Mother’s Day” below the fabric flower on the card by using white marker. Let it dry.
And you can write anything you’d like at the back of the Mother’s Day card.

Tips : The card should contrast the fabric flower, so if the card is dark, use a light color fabric. And if your card is light color, use dark fabric. For black and white card, you can use any contrast color, but for other colors card, you should choose a same shade of the card and the fabric to get a best result. For example, dark blue card with a light blue fabric. Another thing is, you can substitute the scrap fabric with ribbon if you don’t have any scrap fabric.

A beautiful gift for your wonderful mom would be an unforgettable day to your mom if you pair it with an handmade Mother’s Day card. Very personal, loving gesture to be translated into this Mother’s Day Card From Scrap Fabric. Want to try? Good luck and add some creativity to it!

See you!

It’s an easy DIY, but the more complicated the wishing wand design you make, the more it takes time to do. I tried to make as simple but festive as I could. I choose gold and red color as the main color and a touch of blue. Those are the colors that look very attractive and festive for New Year.

Things to Prepared

I used as cheap things as I could and try to make use of things that I already have on my stash. So I hope you can go creative with the materials that I used and try to substitute it with things that you do not need to buy. These are my list to make my New Year wishing wand :

Duplex card paper
Red and gold sparkling paper

Silver ribbon
Balloon stick
Glass plastic
UHU Glue

How To Make

Bring along your kids to make this wishing wand and maybe make more than one wishing wand to have fun with on New Year’s Eve. But, please let me share first on how I made the wishing wand.

Cut two star shapes out of the duplex card paper.
Cover one side of each star with red and gold sparkling paper and leave the white side alone.
Cut the gold star on the inner to form a frame of star.
Glue star shape glass plastic to the back of gold frame star.
Fold the red and gold sparkling left over papers, glue it and use it to make the confetti by using a paper puncher.
Use the gold card from cutting the gold star frame remain to make three little stars.

How To Make Unique Thanksgiving Pumpkin Sign

Sometimes we’re tired of the same circle wreaths or square signs to be hung on our door or wall. For that, I made something different, an unique pumpkin sign for coming Thanksgiving. It’s made from cardboard, so it doesn’t cost you much but if you already have wooden pumpkin shape, you can use it too. I shared with you how to make this unique yet simple Thanksgiving Pumpkin sign.

Things To Prepared

There are a few things to prepared, if you are a crafter, I’m sure you have all the ingredients I used for this unique Thanksgiving pumpkin sign.

Cardboard
Burlap rope
Watercolors ( white, blue, green)
Green flannel
UHU Glue
Black marker

How To Make

You can always replace the cardboard pumpkins with wooden pumpkin, but that’s not too frugal, isn’t it? Well, here I shared with you some easy steps to make my Thanksgiving sign looks unique.

Take a cardboard and cut 4 pumpkin shapes in 2 sizes.
Paint the cardboard pumpkin , one for each size with white paint for base.
Paint the white pumpkin cardboard with blue and green and white watercolors. Leave dry. This process will need a little skill in painting.
Cut green flannel for 5 leaves shape.
Use burlap rope to connect the big pumpkin and the small pumpkin.
Glue the painted big blue pumpkin together with the rope to its other big cardboard pumpkin to make a sandwich.
Do the same to the small pumpkin and use the other end of the burlap rope. Let it dry.
Glue the flannel leaves to the pumpkins and the burlap rope by using UHU glue to have a better result.
Write the word “be” on the small blue painted pumpkin and the word “thankful” to the big cardboard pumpkin by using a black marker.
Hang the unique pumpkin sign on your wall or door for Thanksgiving decor.

Do you have some cardboard laying around your storage room? Well, it’s time to upcycle them into a cheap but unique Thanksgiving decoration. This blue pumpkin sign is just great for wall or door decoration, especially if you want something new than a wreath for your Thanksgiving dinner decor. Well, have a good time making it!
