Hey Everyone! I am excited to be guest blogging for Mommy Moments with Abby today! I wanted to share with you a project that is perfect for your door if you have little ones or is a perfect gift for the next baby shower you go to!
Let's get started!

Supplies

Birch Plywood 1/8X6x12 in from Michaels or you can order through the amazon link listed below

Black, orange, yellow, white, brown Vinyl

Blue paint (I used old house paint, but acrylic is what I normally would have used)

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 http://wecanbeaoriginal.com/blog/2011/06/free-svg-file-download-baby-chick/.  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 or give as a gift for a baby shower!.




AllyBally's 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

Ally Bally's Project Rating:

I would rate this project a 5. Not very difficult except getting the vinyl to transfer and stick. That is the one I wish I did not have to do. It was fun putting together the little chick though!
