Happy Dr. King Day + DIY Decoration Tutorial & Free Printable

decor crafting crafty decorations martin luther king civil rights black history

Growing up, my Mom used to decorate for EVERYTHING!!!! (and I just loved it!).  So, one of my #MomGoals is to obsessively decorate as well lol.  However, there are some holidays that I have not been able to find decorations for like today, Dr.  Martin Luther King, Jr. Day…. so I made my own!  And I am happy to share them with you with the hopes you will decorate for all holidays too:)

If you have been following along via Instagram, you will remember this post…

Well, here is a super simple tutorial to make the cloud! All you need is a styrofoam ball, double side tape, and pillow stuffing!

This is how I styled my “I Have a Dream” Cloud!

Scroll down to the bottom to download the free printables to complete the look! The great thing about these decorations is you can leave them out the whole month of February as well during Black History Month!

Tell me what you think about this decoration idea? Any holidays or special occasions that you celebrate that you cannot find too many decorations for? What did you do in those circumstances? Leave your questions and critiques in the comments!

Enjoy!
