DIY Easter Sign

As the sun starts to peek out a little longer each day and the first signs of spring begin to bloom, there’s no better time to embrace the season’s renewal with a splash of creativity.

It’s almost Easter, my friends!

If you haven’t done it yet, it’s time to swap out those winter blues for something a bit more vibrant and spirited. Imagine a cute holiday sign that says “Happy Easter!” in the most charming way possible.

And if you think it takes a lot of skill to make a sign like this, I’m excited to show you just how easy it can be. You can make this DIY Easter sign with some everyday supplies and a sprinkle of imagination.

DIY Happy Easter Sign

This rustic sign features a cute bunny silhouette that looks like it hopped straight out of a storybook, all surrounded by the soft, springy hues of your favorite scrapbook paper. It’s adorned with delicate faux flowers that never wilt.

We’ll start with a plain round sign as our canvas, giving it a touch of personality with some paint. Whether you opt for a shabby chic whitewash or a pop of color to match your chosen scrapbook paper, the choice is yours.

You can cut out the bunny silhouette with scissors or a die cutter (I’ve got the free file for you), and you’ll decoupage it onto the sign with a coat of Mod Podge. And let’s not forget the finishing touches of lettering and a cluster of faux flowers that breathe life into our creation.

By the end of this post, you’ll have a “DIY Happy Easter sign” that’s more than just decor—it’s a celebration of spring, a nod to creativity, and a testament to the joy of holiday crafting.

So roll up your sleeves, gather your supplies, and embark on a crafting adventure that will leave your door – and perhaps your heart – a little brighter this Easter season. Here’s what you’re going to need.

Gather These Supplies

  • Round wood or MDF sign
  • Craft paint
  • Mod Podge Satin (you can also use Gloss or Matte depending on the finish you’d like)
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Jute twine
  • Wood beads – 6
  • Vinyl letters (or adhesive letters)
  • Faux flowers
  • Scissors
  • Flat paintbrush
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Tips and Thoughts for This Project

I’ve provided the bunny silhouette I’ve used here – make sure to size it proportional to your wood sign.

I used a dry, flat brush for a white-washed, shabby chic look. You can also paint it solid or a different color to match the scrapbook paper that you pick out.

I cut ‘Happy Easter’ on my die-cutting machine using a simple font. You can also use store-bought vinyl embellishments, or adhesive letters from the scrapbooking section craft store.

You’ll see on the back of the sign I used pieces of popsicle sticks to glue down over the ends of the jute, for reinforcement. That part is optional.
