Mossy Spring Flower Sign

I am so ready for Spring!!  (as I am sure you are too if you live anywhere in the North!)  Spring official came this week but it sure didn’t feel like it here… it was -20 Celsius something here.  UGH.

Despite the freezing cold weather, I really needed to get into the Spring spirit so made a cute sign for my cedar shelf.

Having greenery in my home, at any time of the year, makes me happy and feel like I am connected to the outside world.  My only requirements for the Spring sign was that it needed to be springy, bright and green.

I already had this piece of reclaimed wood that was painted with [easyazon_link identifier=”B00O2JNZ98″ locale=”US” tag=”recredesig20-20″]Fusion Mineral Paint in Casement[/easyazon_link]so I just needed something to go on it.  Off to Michaels I went to peruse the shelves.  I found these [easyazon_link identifier=”B01FCYIOP6″ locale=”US” tag=”recredesig20-20″]wood letters[/easyazon_link]…and pretty [easyazon_link identifier=”B00UYIYBOY” locale=”US” tag=”recredesig20-20″]moss ribbon[/easyazon_link].  I thought it would be fun to have raised letters this time on the sign since I usually hand paint them right onto the wood. To make them bright and sunshiny, they got a coat of [easyazon_link identifier=”B01G9S4SIG” locale=”US” tag=”recredesig20-20″]Fusion Mineral Paint in Little Star[/easyazon_link].  Then came the moss.  I have to say, if you don’t like messy projects… you won’t like working with this moss ribbon!  It left mossy fuzz everywhere.

To cover the letters, I laid each one onto the ribbon and cut the ribbon into the shape of the letter.  Then used the [easyazon_link identifier=”B01178RVI2″ locale=”US” tag=”recredesig20-20″]hot glue gun[/easyazon_link] to attach them together.  I love how the pretty yellow peaks through from below the moss ♥Once all of the letters were covered, they were laid out onto the wood plank.  Using the hot glue gun again, they were then attached to the board.

I love the green and hint of yellow on the sign… and having the raised letters this time just make them pop.  I couldn’t resist adding my little yellow ducky that I made when I was 6 to the shelf as well 😉 I think I am actually going to go back and get another roll of this ribbon.  Despite being messy, I really like the effect it gave the painted letter.

Now every time I see the sign, I can’t help but smile and hope that Spring will be here soon!
