Turn a Piece of Cardboard into Wall Decor

Read this blog post before you throw away your cardboard boxes.

I’ve mentioned several times how I like to repurpose and reuse items instead of putting them in the trash. I recently had a chair shipped to my house that was in a large cardboard box. The cardboard was so thick and sturdy that I decided to cut a few pieces from the box to use for some craft projects. That’s when I came up with the idea to make this beautiful sign for my wall:

I think it’s one of the prettiest projects I’ve done all week!

Supplies I used:

• Cardboard
• Artificial Flowers
• Pink Acrylic Paint
• White Chalk Paint
• Gold Glitter Cardstock
• Glue Stick
• Scissors
• Glue Gun
• Foam Brush
• Ruler
• Pencil

Instructions:

• Paint the cardboard piece with white chalk paint. Let the paint dry for a couple of hours.

• Use a ruler and pencil to draw stripes on the cardboard.

• Apply pink paint to every other stripe. Let the paint dry.

• Write letters on a sheet of cardstock, then cut them out with scissors.
• Use a glue stick to adhere the paper letters to the sign.

• Finally, glue artificial flowers around the top of the sign with a hot glue gun. The sign is now ready to display!

I hope you all enjoyed my new project. I also hope that it inspires you to find creative ways to turn “junk” into treasure!
