Add a touch of magic to your garden with this “It’s a Small World” inspired DIY!
Did you know that “It’s a Small World” opened on May 28th, 1966 at Disneyland Park? That’s why in honor of it’s anniversary, Disney shared a very cute and colorful DIY! It will make you feel as if you were on the happiest cruise that ever sailed!
Plus is super easy! Here’s the list of the things you need and a few simple steps you need to follow to create them. Take a look:
Supplies:
- 4-5 inch wooden cutouts in circles or hearts
- 12 inch wooden dowels for the flower stems
- Basswood sheets, thin enough to be cut with scissors
- Acrylic paint in solid and/or glitter colors
- Paintbrushes
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Letter stickers or paint markers
- Hot glue
Step 1: First we will start painting the cutout circles and hearts as well as the wooden dowels with a base coat of acrylic paint. You can paint them in colors that match the signs from “It’s a Small World” or get creative and improvise!
Step 2: Draw shapes like petals, leaves or small dots on the basswood sheets and cut with scissors. To make it easier, you can cut the small circles with the hole punch.
Step 3: Paint the basswood cutouts with a base coat of acrylic paint. If you need to add more details to them, you can use a fine-tipped paintbrush to make it easier and more precise.
Step 4: If you are using letter stickers, you can paint them with acrylic paint to match the signs from “It’s a Small World” or use markers and write directly on the cutouts.
Step 5: Now it’s time to glue everything together to create mini versions of the iconic flower, heart or leaf signs!
