Baby Sleeping Door Signs

My cousin Abby asked me to create a mommy helping craft for her blog as a guest blogger. I was thinking about what I could make when I remembered a cute sign I had seen at a baby shower to hang on the door when your baby is sleeping.

Supplies

• Birch Plywood 1/8X6x12 in from Michaels
• Black, orange, yellow, white, brown Vinyl
• Blue paint
• Paint Brush
• Sure Cuts A Lot
• Cricut
• Transfer Tape
• Ribbon
• Mod Podge

Step By Step Process

1. I used some paint I had left over from my house to paint the board blue

2. While I waited for it to dry I created my design on Sure Cuts A Lot. I used Gisel Script font and the cute little chick is from BeaOriginal . She has several files you can download for free or purchase. It is a great site!

 

3. I used my cricut to cut out the vinyl and used transfer tape to place the vinyl on the dried board. That stuff is a BIG time saver!

4. I sealed the whole design with Mod Podge to keep it all glued down and added some ribbon to the back.

You can hang this sign on your front door or on the wall outside your precious ones room.

Variations and Tips

If you do not have a cutting machine or Sure Cuts A Lot you could make this with stamps, stickers, or hand painting it

I have made two other versions so far that are for sale on my Etsy Site AllyBallyDesigns

Little Clothespins

I MAY sign up for a craft fair this year and these are one of the items I am thinking about selling! They are so versatile I love them. They are also for sale on my Etsy Site .

You can use them with ribbon to hang cards or invites on the wall (also perfect for Holiday cards)

You can attach a magnet on the back and use them on the fridge for coupons, save the dates, etc

Starburst decoration

 I saw this sunburst idea on Under the table and Dreaming. I liked it a lit so I copied her idea. I may add additional ones in different sizes like she did down the road :)

Bible Verse Frame

 My husband and I decided to change up the color scheme in our room and painted the walls cream striped. I decided we needed to accent all the brown and cream with some red. I have always LOVED this bible verse for two reasons. One I believe it is important for my household to be serving the Lord at all times and also because it is a quote from the book of Joshua which is also my husbands name :)

I used my Sure Cuts a Lot and Cricut to design and cut the quote on vinyl so I could attach it to the front glass piece of a frame. That way I can change the paper color behind it anytime I want to change up the colors anytime I want!

Flower wreath

I saw this wreath at Target for about $60.00 and thought well now I can make that myself. I say that all the time and my husband teases me and tells me just because I can doesn't mean I should. I put that idea on hold for a while until I saw it made by Stephanie Lynn on  Under the table and dreaming

  

Well my husband was probably right this time this wreath took me FOREVER. I used a few books to make each rose and I was very surprised how long each one took. Im glad a did a row of three roses instead of four. But I finished it and am very happy how it turned out now I just need to figure out where I am going to put it.
