Easy Spring DIY (Mini Wood Rounds)


These little wood rounds add a natural, spring touch to indoor potted plants or porch containers. They would also be adorable as part of a spring table setting.

They take about five minutes to make (not including dry time) and don't require any special tools.


Here's what you need:
  • Mini wood rounds (I purchased a pack of seven for $3.99 at a craft shop)
  • Sand paper (optional)
  • Modge Podge or any brush on glaze (optional)
  • Paint brush (optional)
  • Vinyl letters, words and/or images (I used bird images, spring, grow, plant and live)



I chose to prepare the wood rounds by quickly sanding each one (my youngest son (5) helped me with this! :). I then used a small paint brush to apply a coat of glaze (Modge Podge would work well). These smoothing steps are optional, but help ensure that the vinyl letters and images adhere well.


I positioned the words and birds how I wanted them on the rounds. Then I burnished (rubbed) the vinyl to the surface of the rounds. A credit card works well to burnish.


Hope you have a wonderful day!

For you locals, I saw this idea and purchased the wood rounds (on sale now!) and vinyl transfers at Ben Franklin Crafts in Redmond.

    1. I know! Turns out you don't need to live on a wooded acre and own a chainsaw to have decorative rounds anymore! :)

  4. Such a cute idea! My sil gave me a bag of wood rounds she was going to throw away a while ago. Haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet. Will have to make a few. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann

  5. You have such a gorgeous home!! To live in karachi has always been a dream of mine. I live in Lahor with my family. I'm currently a college student so I don't quite yet have my own home, but I am quite satisfied with decorating my parents.
