How to create your family birthday sign

First, paint your wooden base. I did two coats of paint to make it the color I wanted.

Next you can either paint your individual letters or I chose to glue scrapbook paper to each letter using wood glue.

Before painting your wooden discs drill a hole towards the edge at the top and bottom of each disc. Make sure you are not too close to the edge because the hole can weaken the wood and in some cases it broke.

Next, paint your wooden discs. I used one color to go with each family.

For the top row I used grey for the months. Here is a picture of the project laid out waiting for me to put the metal rings on and assemble it together.

I used little hooks at the bottom of the wooden base and on each disc put a little ring through the hole to chain the wooden discs together.

On one side of the disc I wrote the person’s name and the number. On the back of the disc I wrote the birth year that way you can know how old they are.

Here is my finished family birthday sign!
