“Press for Champagne” if only it was the easy! We all need a DIY Champagne Buzzer, especially if it actually summons Champagne when pressed.

DIY Champagne Buzzer

I actually found a version of this exact craft at Value Village earlier this week which is what prompted me to repurpose the pieces for my own taste. I’ve seem lots of these with ornate frames, pink stripes and fancy buttons, but I think my gemstone version is actually the best.

How to make a “Press for Champagne” button

 Paint your wood plaque in the colour of your choice. I had all kinds of ideas of contrasting with red and shades of green, but in the end a simple pink on pink was what worked best. I’ve got the buzzer on there to see how it would look next to the various colours I was thinking of.

You’ll likely need two coats to get a decent coverage, so make sure you leave plenty of dry time in between coats to avoid ruining the first coat.

Once the two coats are down it’s time to add your contrast line. I’m using cotton candy for mine, and all I needed was a fine tipped craft brush.

Vinyl lettering on your sign

While everything dries you can prep the vinyl lettering. I used my Cricut Explore Air 2 to upload the text I created in photoshop. Feel free to use this image below for yours! Just drag and drop. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be “Press for Champagne” or “Buzz for Champagne,” and then a million other variations, but I’m happy with this version.

Apply the vinyl lettering like you would with any other Cricut project.

Drill for the buzzer

Determine where you’d like your buzzer to sit in relation to the text and the plaque in general. You’ll then drill pilot holes for your buzzer, and then fasten the buzzer to the board.

Adding Gemstones to your sign

Apply your gemstones! Once the buzzer was on there it all felt kind of empty and unoriginal. Because I have an un-ending supply of plastic gemstones on hand, I started laying them out to see if they looked good. Sure enough, they do, so I got the glue gun out.

How to hang your sign

 To make it easier to hang, I drilled a shallow hole into the back of the plaque so that it would sit over a nail head nicely.

Press the buzzer! Get yourself some champagne! Cheers!

    […] MyDIY Champagn buzzer would make another great gift, but only because people who have fancy stir sticks are extra AF, and this is the kind of thing they would like. […]

Ariel - PMQ for two
I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
