I know most of us Mamma’s have sang “You are my Sunshine” to our babies when they were little. Despite my kids age, it’s always been a favorite song in our house too and was the inspiration behind making this little ” You are My Sunshine” Sun Sign made from FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foams.

You are my Sunshine Sun Sign
Since my FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® design team box this month was all about cones, I decided to create a faux sun using 3″ Foam Cones. I’m not sure how I was exactly what inspired to make a sun, but that is exactly what I did. I think this You are My Sunshine Sun Sign would look so cute in a nursery or as a baby shower gift for any Mama to Be too.
Since I didn’t have a foam disc in the size I wanted, I just cut my own out of FloraCraft® Foam Sheet.
I then cut FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® 3″ cones in half and attached them on to the foam circle using hot glue.
Since I wanted the sun to be smooth, I applied a few coats of FloraCraft Smooth Finish® following the directions on the container. This was my first time using the Smooth Finish and I was totally impressed on how well it works on the foam.
After the Smooth Finish was dried ans sanded, I painted the sun yellow. Since I didn’t have the exact yellow I was looking for, which was a totally surprise to me since I have like ever color paint under the sun, I just mixed yellow and white together until I achieved the shade of yellow I desired.
I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out the lettering using white vinyl, weeded the letters then applied it on to the front of the Sun,
I completed the sun with some faux stitching and orange and yellow twine and button. I think this You are My Sunshine Sun sign is definitely a unique gift that could be easily personalized for baby.
