Partly recycled crafts - signs

I have seen so much stuff on Pinterest that it has gotten my creative juices flowing. 

These 'signs' we created with inexpensive material and did not take long to make.

The one on the weathered plank did not turn out very well and the cherry one is too dark, so I will be redoing them. 

The end results:

Here are the instructions and where I bought the materials:

Cabinet drawer faces, from Habitat for Humanity's Restore (lots of great recycled material for inexpensive prices and our local one has new stuff too.)

Scripts, butterflies, and flowers

Mod Podge and Sponge brush (only needed if you want to sealed the script on the board or try to use it like I did on the weathered board)

Squeegie

Scissors 

 (All are from different dollar and/or big chain stores, if you do not already have them at home.)

Step 1:

Cleaning the dirt off of you boards and make sure they are dry before you use them. 

I use a biodegradable cleaner and a cloth or paper towel to clean them. 

Step 2:

Lay out your chosen scripts to see how they look on the boards.

Step 3:

Pick one to start with and move the others out of the way, then peel the script or a portion of it off and carefully apply it to your wood. If you have trouble with getting it to lay the way you want it, just peel it off and reapply it. That is the great thing about these scripts is they are removable, if you buy the correct ones. If necessary, use a squeegie to get rid of air bubbles starting in the middle and working your way out.  

If you have a great helper like I did, take their picture with the sign they helped create. 

This one you will see in a later picture where I have moved it from one color board to another:

After the change:

Now this is the one that I still need to fix:

It looked better here, before I decided to Mod Podge it:

After Mod Podge and I have given it more coats and it still needs help.

Here are some others I completed a few days later:

This one needed the scissors to cut it to fit my board:

I did more, though they were almost duplicates so I will not bore you with those photos. 

I hope this was helpful, where you can now create your own signs and give them as gifts if you can part with them.

Love & hugs!  =D
