How to make a Simple Country Sunflower Door Hanger. 

Don’t you think Sunflowers are perfect for Fall Decor?

I created the Simple County Sunflower Door Hanger using

Eileen Hull Large Sunflower Die by Sizzix*.

It’s perfect for making large dimensional flowers from cardstock.

You can cut more than paper with this die.  Try fabric, felt, foam, or crepe paper.

• Using yellow cardstock, die-cut three large flowers and three small flowers.
• Paint over the flower die-cuts with acrylic paint.  The paint adds color variations and makes the paper stiffer.
• For even stiffer paper, paint over the die-cuts with Deco Art Media Crackle Glaze*.  It adds a fun texture and makes the make pliable.
• Use a pencil to gently curl the ends of the petals.

• Die-cut two leaves from green cardstock.
• Paint the leaves with acrylic paint and Crackle Glaze*.
• Use a stylus tool and a foam mat to draw a line down the center of the leaves.
• Gently shape the edges of the leaves so that they curve.

• Glue the two smaller flowers together, slightly staggering the flowers.
• Glue the larger two flowers the same as the smaller flowers.  Adhere the smaller flowers to the larger flowers.
• Adhere a large wood button to the inside of the sunflower.
• Glue the leaves under the sunflower.

• Adhere decorative scrapbook paper onto a 6″ wood round.
• I like to use my Xyron Creative Station* to add adhesive to the paper.  It gives the paper a complete layer of adhesive with no bubbles.  It really is easy to use.
• I sealed the paper on the wood round with Mod Podge Matte Finish*.
• Glue the sunflower to the center of the wood round using Rapid Fuse Adhesive*.
• I used Brown StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl* and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* to create the words “You are my Sunshine”.  You could also use letter stickers for this.
• Add a simple bow and twine for hanging.
