Watermelon Button Art

Add a "slice" of color to your summer decor with handmade Watermelon Button Art!

Summer's almost here, and I'm ready for it! One of my favorite things about summer is watermelon. I love eating it, and also love using it in summer projects. This Watermelon Button Art is a simple and quick project to make, and all you need is some wood, paint, and buttons. Not only does this watermelon project add a fun pop of color to your summer decor, but it is a great way to use up your button collection!

Stenciled Muggle Quote Sign

Use a custom stencil to make a Harry Potter-inspired sign as a reminder to not "let the muggles get you down"!

One of my favorite quotes from the Harry Potter series is "Don't let the Muggles get you down." Ron Weasley's encouraging words to Harry have always stood out to me as a quote to live by. No matter how hard you try, there will always be "muggles" around who won't be able to see the magic inside you. Keep your head up and surround yourself with good friends (like Ron and Hermione) who see the truly magical wizard that you really are!!

I wanted to put this quote on display so that I could see it every day. By using my Ikonart kit, I was able to easily create a stencil to paint the quote onto a sign. It was so simple to make, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

New to making reusable stencils? Here's how to Get Started with Ikonart!
