Bring a little nature indoors this spring with this sweet DIY "Bless our Nest" Sign. The large Stained Wood Sign is a substantial piece that makes a statement in a foyer or on any wall in your home. To create the sign, I started with the FolkArt® Bless Our Nest Stencil and then incorporated twigs, a faux bird's nest and two brightly painted ceramic birds. You can improvise on the colors used in this sign to match your own home decor. Check out how I incorporated it into my Nature-Inspired Spring Foyer!

Squeeze a small amount of Apple Barrel® Acrylic Craft Paint onto a paper plate and use a foam brush to apply the paint to the stencil with an up and down dabbing motion. I used the Bright Yellow and Key West paint colors, but you can customize it to match your home decor! Carefully lift up the stencil to reveal your design and let dry.
