Wood Signs: Circle

1/31/2021

0 Comments

 
As I mentioned, I am obsessed with block signs. Well, as it turns out there are other shapes I can work with. This post talks about circle signs.

Supplies Needed:
- Wood circle blocks (you want to make sure you get a good thickness for the block. 0.7 inches and above will allows you to stand them without having to hang them. Here's one on Amazon you can purchase.)
- Paint
- Paint brushes
​- Wood tags (This is to give the circle support so it stands without rolling.)
- Stencils, stickers, word shapes and letters etc. to decorate
          - If using wood shapes, you'll need gorilla glue to glue to sign​

Note: if you have a Cricut machine, you can use vinyl to decorate, as well. For supplies, you need: Cricut machine, vinyl, transfer tape, weeder and scrapper.

I am currently obsessed with block signs. To be fair, it seems to be the decor of the season. Every time I decorate my house a new holiday/season, block signs are all I see in terms of wall/standing decor. So, one day I figured, "why can't I make these?" As it turns out, I so can, and so can you.

Supplies Needed:
- Wood blocks of all sizes (you can purchase all kinds from Amazon)
- Paint
- Paint brushes
- Stencils, stickers, wood shapes and letters, etc. to decorate
          - If using wood shapes, you'll need gorilla glue to glue to sign

Note: if you have a Cricut machine, you can use vinyl to decorate, as well. For supplies, you need: Cricut machine, vinyl, transfer tape, weeder and scrapper.

Supplies Needed:
- Wreath forms. There are various sizes you can get. I like this one: 8 in wreath form. 
- Yarn (either single color or multiple colors)
- Pins (may vary depending on the thickness of the form. You want to make sure it doesn't stick out on the other side).
- Decorative accents (this can be wood shapes, a wood sign, fake flowers, fabric, etc. Be creative!)
- Paint (for any wood shapes you use)
- Glue (I like gorilla glue)
​- Wire (to hang finished wreath). I got mine here.

Note: if you have a Cricut machine, you can use vinyl to decorate, as well. For supplies, you need: Cricut machine, vinyl, transfer tape, weeder and scrapper.
