If your kids have a tree house and want to make it their own, they can make a fun sign to express their tree house rules.

Be sure to check out all of our summer craft selections, our camp crafts, classic crafts and scout crafts!

What you’ll need:

Wood plank or slat
Craft paint
Large and small paintbrushes
Foam stamps for decorating
Twine or fabric
White craft glue
Sealer

How to make it:

Paint the wood slat whatever color you like and let it dry.
Use a thin paintbrush to write your “rules” (i.e. “GIRLS ONLY” or “BOYS CLUB”) on the slat, use a contrasting color so it can be seen.
Use foam stamps to decorate your sign if you wish.
When everything is dry, paint on a coat of sealer.
For the hanger, you can cut a strip of 1.5-inch fabric and glue the ends to the back. You can also use jute or twine to tie around both the left and right sides, and then tie in a knot at the top. Secure the jute with some glue.

Tips:

Wooden slats are available at craft supply stores.
Foam stamps are available from craft supply stores in a wide variety of themes and sizes.
When “writing” with a paintbrush, load the paintbrush with a generous amount of paint, but not so much that it drips of the paintbrush.
