Creating artwork that acts as decor for a baby shower and nursery is a brilliant way to ensure decorations are put to good use long after the shower is over. This adorable sign is cute enough for baby and would transition nicely through the toddler years and beyond. Displayed during a baby shower it sets the tone nicely for the adventure that lies ahead for the parents. Follow the steps below to create your own!
Begin by staining a DIY Wood Plank Sign in a warm tone. Use a sponge brush to apply the stain evenly across the sign going with the grain of the wood. Set the sign aside to dry.
Next, spell out the words "adventure awaits" using wood letters and give them each a coat of mint green paint.
Download the mountains templates here and print onto white cardstock. Trace and cut out one large mountain and two smaller mountains using yellow, grey and blue felt.
Next, cut the snowcaps from the mountain templates and trace them onto white felt. Cut them out and adhere to each of the mountains using tacky glue.
Once the stain on the sign has fully dried, use tacky glue to attach the mountains. Begin with the larger mountain in the center and add the two smaller ones on either side.
Now add the words "adventure awaits" to the sign. Center them over the mountains and secure using tacky glue.
Finally, display the Adventure Awaits Nursery Sign as part of the décor during the mama-to-be's Rustic Mountain Themed Baby Shower. Once the shower is over, send the sign home with the mama to decorate baby's nursery walls!
