Cricut Hack: DIY Round 3D Sign With Foam Instead of Wood

Hey there, fellow crafting moms! Are you ready to add a touch of rustic charm to your little one’s nursery without the hassle of cutting wood? I’ve got just the hack for you: creating impressive 3D texts using a DIY Round 3D Sign With Foam Instead of Wood!

The Wood Sign Hack: Crafting Magic with Cricut

Imagine achieving the look of carved wood without the need for woodworking skills or heavy machinery. With this ingenious hack, you can transform ordinary foam board into stunning 3D texts that mimic the warmth and texture of wood, all thanks to your trusty Cricut machine.

Materials Needed:

  • Foam craft sheets (readily available at most craft stores)
  • Glue
  • Cricut cutting machine
  • Printer and paper
  • Round Wooden Sign (I got mine from Dollar Tree)
  • Paint or wood stain

Steps to Create 3D Texts:

  1. Design Creation: Begin by designing your sign in your preferred design software. Cricut Design Space offers a user-friendly interface for creating and customizing designs. Choose your font, size, and any additional graphics or elements you wish to include. I chose to do my son’s first and middle name in free fonts Karley and Poke Night.
  2. Material Selection: Select foam board as your material option in Cricut Design Space. Adjust the settings according to the thickness of your foam board to ensure precise cutting.
  3. Wooden Sign: Paint or stain the round wooden sign and completely dry before assembling.
  4. Cutting: Place the foam board on the cutting mat and load it into your Cricut machine. Follow the prompts in the software to initiate the cutting process. The machine will precisely cut out your design, including any intricate details.
  5. Assembly: Carefully remove the cut pieces from the foam board. Apply adhesive or glue to the back of each piece and arrange them according to your design. The lightweight nature of foam makes it easy to handle and position.
  6. Display: Once your sign is complete and dry, it’s ready to be displayed!
