Let’s get started

Step one of making an adorable DIY gather sign is to get your Dollar Tree planked Valentine’s Day sign ready. I lightly sanded the front of the sign because there was a good bit of glitter. 

Then, I painted over the sign’s design with Dixie Belle Fluff Chalk Paint. One coat should be enough to cover the design. Remember, we are going to decoupage scrapbook paper over it anyways. 

Allow the white paint to dry, then apply a coat of Mod Podge to the sign. Then, carefully place the buffalo check scrapbook paper onto the sign. You want to avoid creating any wrinkles or creases when you place the scrapbook paper. 

If any form, place a piece of plastic saran wrap over the scrapbook paper and use a rolling pin to smooth out the imperfections. 

Make sure the scrapbook paper is completely dry before you do these next couple of steps. Trim the excess scrapbook paper from around the Dollar Tree sign. Next, I lightly sanded the edges with a sanding sponge. 

If the scrapbook paper isn’t dry when you do this, you risk pulling it off the wood or even ripping it. 

Gather

Set the decoupaged sign to the side, and grab your Hobby Lobby wood gather lettering and Dixie Belle Fluff Chalk Paint. I used a chippy paintbrush to paint the gather lettering white.

Allow the letters to dry (I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process) and then dry place it onto the buffalo check sign. Don’t hot glue the lettering down year.

Next, you’re going to need your Dollar Tree travel bottles and some jute twine. Wrap a strand of jute twine around the middle of each travel bottle and tie the ends in a little bow. 

Hot glue each of the travel bottles onto the buffalo check sign. I hot glued the middle bottle first to make sure they were centered and evenly spaced. 

Bring it all together

Now you can hot glue the painted Hobby Lobby gather lettering onto the sign. I did this last to make sure it was placed evenly and the DIY planters had enough space below it. 

Next, you’re going to add the greenery into your DIY planters. Start by pushing some moss into the Dollar Tree travel bottles. Then, put your flowers into the bottles.

The last thing you have to do for this adorable buffalo check decor is to add the hanger. The Dollar Tree sign that I used already had holes where it had a hanger before, so I just poked a hole in the scrapbook paper to open up the original hanger holes.
