This darling rustic woodland sign makes the cutest decor for a Baby Bear First Birthday Party, a woodland or forest party, or a camping party. Real wood slices decorate the sides and base of the sign while silver dollar eucalyptus leaves are spread across the top. Here's how you can quickly make your own!

Place your finished easel sign near a white tent. Add a cute inflatable fire nearby and place some paw prints onto the floor in front of the tent. Scatter pine cones around the scene to add to the natural, outdoor feel of the party. At the base of the sign, fill a long basket with paper shred and adorable small bears for all the little cubs at the party to take home. Be sure to see the entire Baby Bear First Birthday Party as well as how you can make a Happy Birthday Little Bear Sign and a DIY Bear Shirt & Ears!
