About this Product
This large sunflower wall hanging is a sustainable and eco-friendly piece of art, handcrafted from reclaimed wood fencing. Featuring two beautifully wood-burned sunflowers, this piece also includes the inspirational phrase, "Sometimes you have to create your own sunshine," carefully burned into the wood below the flowers. Every detail is meticulously created by hand, showcasing the timeless craft of pyrography while celebrating the natural beauty of sunflowers and their connection to warmth and light.
The reclaimed wood is lightly sanded to preserve its natural weathered patina, reflecting the character and history of the material. Cracks, nail heads, and rough textures are intentionally kept intact, adding to the rustic charm and uniqueness of the piece. The rich brown tones created by the wood-burning process perfectly complement the upcycled wood, giving new purpose to materials that would otherwise go to waste.
The sign is assembled using canvas strapping on the back for a lightweight design.
To reduce environmental impact, it ships gently rolled for easy and eco-friendly transport. Simply unroll it and hang on a sturdy nail to bring the warmth and inspiration of this sustainably crafted sunflower wall decor into your home.
I'm happy to customize the size and phrase. If you'd like to personalize this wall decor, just reach out to me and we can chat about your createive vision.

Meet the Maker
Hello friends! My name is Christy and l welcome you to my shop :)
In my handmade shop, I feature unique pieces of home decor that add a little rustic and a little whimsy to your home.
I began my handmade journey of wood-burning artwork on reclaimed wood. The beautiful brown color in my artwork is created with pyrography, "drawing with fire". It is the perfect complement to the reclaimed wood that I use to create rustic wall hangings. All the artwork is wood-burned by hand, using pyrography tools.
When I discovered the incredibly versatile dried gourds, it was love at first sight! I instantly added them to my creative routine. I've always adored pumpkin carving, and here was a similar natural vegetable that will for many years without the shelf life of a fresh pumpkin. The dried gourd shells are very hard and perfect for carving and pyrography!
I use the gourds to create whimsical fall pumpkin characters with a ton of personality. I also enjoy turning the gourds into decorative bowls, vases, and vessels. Each gourd shape is unique, so each gourd piece is a one-of-a-kind!
How it’s Made
I collect weathered wood to up-cycle for rustic wood wall art.
To prepare the wood, I sand it lightly, trying to presevee the distressed look as it adds to the appeal and them of wall art.
The boards are attached using canvas strapping down the back sides.
After creating a theme and design I draw the artwork onto the wood using pyography tools, more commingly know as wood burning.
To finish I appy a wax that enhances the wood grain.

Commonly Asked Questions
1. Can I order a customized gourd character? Yes! I am happy to work with you on a personalized gourd for you. Just reach out and we can chat about your idea.
2. Can I order the hats separately? Not at this time. I use the coordinating gourd top to make the hat base. So the gourd top/hat fits the gourd exactly. I am contemplating making hats separately. Let me know if this might be a good idea... I'd love your input!
3. Can I use the gourds to decorate outside? These gourds are dried, but I wouldn't recommend letting them get wet with the weather elements. It's best to keep these as "indoor gourds".
4. Can I name my gourd? Sure! If you would like to name a gourd just let me know. This would fall into a custom piece, so I would just need a week or so to create this gourd for you.
5. Are there additional charges for custom gourds? This depends on the request. Please just send me a note with your request and I can let you know.
