You can make a seasonal sign in a few simple steps!
Cut a narrow piece of cardboard on which you will glue 6" wood shims.
Optional: Cover one side of the cardboard with card stock, or gift wrap. Mine is a burlap pattern gift wrap. This will be the back of your sign. I prefer to have a fully finished product.
Glue the shims - alternating thick side to thin side, on the opposite side of the cardboard (the side that is not covered with the paper). Alternating the sides will give your sign a woven effect.
Paint the shims with dark wax, or a paint color of your choice. Wipe off the excess paint or wax with a paper towel so the grain shows through.
Cut a ribbon and hot glue it to the back of your sign to serve as a hanger.
Glue on a pre-made wood word, silk flowers and plants as desired. I painted the sign so it would pop against the dark finish.
