Before we jump into this DIY, please note I loved the tropical feel I ended up getting and heading in that direction with. I originally wanted it to be ALL florals but I don't know - sometimes the DIY speaks to me haha icon . If you look at my other Hometalk DIY Dollar Store Floral projects, you will see I spent money purchasing those florals. Once I realized I wasn't going to use florals but in fact their leaves - the only thing I had to buy were the wooden letters from Michael's which totaled up to be $5.
Gather your materials:  cardboard, this glue gun is my favorite, scissors, an exacto knife, wooden letters to make the word of your choice, fake flowers and paint if you want to paint the word a different color.
I painted my letters and let them dry. I then laid them out where I wanted it on my cardboard and traced it for a guideline.
I started adding florals but then love this tropical feel I got from JUST the leaves. Feel free to hot glue as many as you want around where you are putting your word.
Once I liked how the leaves were laid out, I flipped my letters over, cut a little piece of cardboard to glue to the back to raise it to give it more of a 3D effect if you will? You don't have to but I liked how the word looked raised.
Simply hot glue the word on where you want it and then hot glue rope, twine, ribbon, etc. around the cardboard if you didn't completely fill it with florals. If you filled it with florals, I don't recommend doing this step.
I went back in and trimmed off the excess - I thought I liked how it looked but that's the beauty of the DIY! You can change your mind at any time and custom it to your liking.
Hung it up along with my other DIY Dollar Store Floral Wall Hanging in the mini human's room icon .
