DIY Patriotic Truck Sign

While out shopping the other day I found a bunch of new wooden cutouts at Walmart. They had these trucks and some farmhouse animals and more. I grabbed 1 of each, including this truck. I thought it was super cute and wanted to make something Patriotic with it! Come see how I made it into a DIY Patriotic Truck Sign!

Supplies:

Wooden Plaque- Dollar Tree
Truck- Walmart
Star Stencil- Dollar Tree
Rusty Star- My Stash
Florals of your choice
Wire
Wooden Buttons
Red, White, Blue Paint

First step is to paint our truck and our buttons. I painted the truck in all red and then gave it some blue wheels. We are going to paint our buttons white; those are going to be the hub caps! Finally paint your wooden plaque white also! I also had predrilled some holes into the plaque, to add a hanger.

Second take the buttons and glue them to the middle of the tires and glue your star onto the door. I used a rusty star I had on hand, you can use a wooden one or even a small metal one. If you don’t have a star to use, you can just paint one on also!

The next thing I did was use my star stencil from Dollar Tree and stenciled stars all over the truck in white. I think this made the truck look absolutely adorable!!

It is time to glue that truck to the plaque using some hot glue!

Here is where I added a wire hanger, I took some wire and pushed it through the holes, using a paint brush handle I twisted the wire, so it was curled. This gave a cute look to the hanger and made it look good sitting on the front of the sign.
