Farmhouse Pig, Cow, and Rooster Decor

The only thing better than DIY farm animal decor, is DIY Cow, Pig, and Chicken decor with Sunflowers! This cute and easy farmhouse sign will have you saying “Oink”, “Moo”, and “Cock-a-doodle-doo” all day long!

This adorable farm animal sign has two of my very favorite things….Sunflowers and Napkins! Don’t make me choose which I love more, I just won’t do it.

I love napkins so much so, that I started the Big Pack of Craftkins, a napkins for crafting club!

The Big Pack of Craftkins is my quarterly variety pack of 18 individual adorable napkins sent straight to your door, so that you never have to waste your money on entire packs of napkins for crafting again. 🤯

Don’t worry if you don’t have the exact napkin I am using in this project, use what you have and if you need some help then get on the waitlist for my napkin subscription. I also sell super cute pre-bundled one time packs in my shop HERE!

I am not a huge “Farmhouse” crafter, but when I do make farmhouse crafts, boy are they cute! I don’t know which one I love more, this one or the Wooden Cow and Wooden Pig I made. Pretty soon I will have a whole darn farm!

How to Make a Farmhouse Pig, Chicken, and Rooster Sign

I made this DIY Farm Animal Decor on video. So you can WATCH the tutorial by clicking below.

First, I took 6 paint sticks and lined them up alternating the handle ends.

This is where it gets interesting…we’re going to brace them together with popsicle sticks and hot glue, then take them apart, and then brace them back together again. Let me explain…..

To give the background that slatted look, we’re going to first brace them together with the popsicle sticks and just a small amount of hot glue so that you have one solid background. Then paint the entire background all white, and decoupage the napkin to it using Mod Podge.

Next, use an X-acto knife to gently slice the napkin down the line in between the paint sticks. Once they are all separated, remove the popsicle sticks from the back (you can heat the glue up with a heat gun and they should pop right off), and separate the paint sticks.

Sand all of the excess napkin from the edges of the paint sticks. Then put it back together and brace them with popsicle sticks and a proper amount of hot glue.

Make sure to pay attention to the order of the paint sticks so that your napkin lines up correctly. This is how it should look below once the slats are put back together. Looks pretty neat, right?

Next, I stained all of the small wood farm animals with Antique Wax.

For the cow, I added a tail with a piece of wired twine because it looked a little odd without it.

Then, I made a small twine bow with a sunflower embellishment and glued it to his neck.

For the rooster, I made a teeny fabric bow with a sunflower embellishment and glued it to his neck.

And for the pig, I did the exact same thing as the cow except I made the tail a curly Q with wired twine. I glued the bow and sunflower to his tail, rather than his neck.

For the hanger, I used jute rope, but gave it a little twist by knotting it and gluing it to the FRONT of the project rather then the back.

For not being a huge farmhouse lover, I sure do love this farm animal craft!

It’s the sunflowers for me.
