"Welcome To Our Nest" Door Tag

I just love how this project turned out, y’all. It’s perfect to give as a housewarming gift, or keep it and change out the little eggs for different seasons!

i used birds, eggs, moss, my favorite green paint and y’all, those IOD stamps!

Here are the supplies I used:

Dollar Tree: Door tag sign, doilies, large metal bottle cap, wood bird, eggs

Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint: Apothecary

Michaels Grab Bag / Boxes: greenery

Milton’s Daughter: IOD Stamps

Amazon: Scrabble letters (This is an Amazon affiliate link and I may receive a small compensation for items purchased from this link.)

Stash: Raffia, twine

Let’s make it!

I sanded the glitter off of my tag, then painted with Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint “Apothecary”. I made sure to paint the edges, too! I dried mine with my heat tool, but you can set yours aside to dry or use a blow dryer.

These stamps by Iron Orchid Designs are at Milton’s Daughter, and y’all, I love them! I placed them on the grid sheet over my surface, inked the stamps, then pressed down. If you watch the video (above), you’ll see I moved my stamps just a bit while stamping. It’s ok because I want a vintage look, but remember to not move them while stamping!

After stamping, I sanded it down a bit.

I mixed Apple Barrel “Mossy” and “Rusty” paints, but there’s one called Monet’s Garden that’s even better at Milton’s Daughter.

Once I finished painting it, I decided to flatten it out a bit. It’s Hammer Time, y’all!

Next was to sand it just a bit.

I glued two Tumbling Tower Game blocks (like Jenga, but smaller, and from Dollar Tree) on the back of the bottle cap, first with E6000, which gives it a permanent hold, and then with hot glue to get it to glue immediately.
