Sunshine is my Favorite Color // Easy DIY 5 Minute Summer Project // Come chalk with me!

What a whimsical, fun, summery project! Light and bright, this will be adorable when paired with your other summer décor. It’s little, it’s bright, and it’s the perfect way to acknowledge the glorious color of sunshine!

I love a good sunny day while watching my kids run around while drinking some ice coffee! That warm sunshine feels so good on my skin, the kids laughter while playing in the backyard...these are the days.

So maybe each year when I pull out the Summer decorations, It will remind me of those wonderful memories.

Want to see how I made it? Follow along!

Supplies Needed:

Metal Tag sign- Found surface from Hobby Lobby

Transfer: Sunshine is my Favorite Color

Chalk Paste: Bumblebee

Fuzzing Cloth

Stir Stick

Small Squeegee

Step 1

Get all your supplies together. Open the Bumblebee Chalk Paste and stir it well using a Stir Stick.

Step 2

Fuzz the transfer using the Fuzzing Cloth. Don't be afraid to fuzz it alot. If it seems really sticky, it might need quite a few fuzzings. Since the new transfers seem to be stickier, fuzz fuzz FUZZ! You don't want that to pull up the back ground up when removing the transfer.

Step 3

Press the transfer onto the surface firmly and grab the Stir Stick and apply the Bumblebee Chalk Paste onto the transfer. Take the small squeegee and glide the Paste all over the transfer covering all mesh areas. Since I am only using 1 color, I am able to chalk without it drying out. Once fully chalked, pull the transfer from the top to bottom holding both ends, making sure to not stretch the transfer. Now since these new transfers seem to be more stickier that the older one, evenly pulling the transfer is important.

Step 4

Clean your transfer right away. This will ensure more uses. To clean larger transfers, I clean them in the shower. Make sure the wall is clean and place the dirty transfer on there. Use the shower head to clean with cold water. Grab your board eraser and clean both sides. Once clean, hang or lay sticky side up until dry. Once dry, apply backer and store away.
