Front Door Welcome Sign

Front Door Welcome Sign

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Darice Rectangular Wall Planter, DIY Wood Pallet Sign, Stain, Vinyl, Silhouette Cutting Machine, Transfer Paper, Paint Brush, Foam Sheet, Weeding Tool, Peony Long Stem

Hello friends, I hope your Summer is kicking off to a great start!  I’ve been super busy here working in the yard, planting flowers and just getting my outside area ready for Summer.  One area I really wanted to spruce up was my front steps.  So the easiest place to start was a Welcome Sign.  Then I can start painting and adding all my other stuff.

UPDATE: Front Step Makeover

I ordered this wall planter a couple months ago and I didn’t have a specific project in mind.  I just thought it was really pretty and had to have it. After getting some ideas together for my front steps, I came across some DIY Welcome Signs.  Then BOOM, I got inspired!  I knew what my front steps needed was a pretty Welcome Sign.  So let’s get started!

Several of my friends saw this welcome sign and now want me to make them one as well.  So I’m thinking this would make a great housewarming gift for someone as well!

DIY WELCOME SIGN & PLANTER SUPPLIES:

  • Wall Planter (find similar here)
  • 14×24 inch Darice Unfinsihed Pallet Sign
  • Stain
  • Vinyl
  • Silhouette Cutting Machine
  • Transfer Paper
  • Darice Foam Brush
  • Foam Sheet
  • Weeding Tool
  • Darice Peony Long Stems

Step 1 – Stain Board

Pick out the color stain you want to use for this project, I used a Gel Stain from DecoArt and was really impressed with the results.

I only needed to add one coat and it was dry within 20 minutes.

Step 2 – Add Planter

Next let’s add our wall planter.  I found the perfect size screw to help keep the planter in place on the pallet.

Step 3 – Cut and add Phrase

Now it’s time to cut your saying!! Woohoo!  I found this AMAZING saying in the Silhouette library that I had to use.  I weeded the saying with my “handy dandy” weeding tool and then used transfer paper to add it to my pallet.

Step 4 – Flower Time

Let’s add our beautiful flowers! It was a back and fourth, should I use real flowers or fake ones for this project since it was going to be outside. But in the end I had these peonies that I got from Darcie awhile back and they were perfect!  I added a little foam at the bottom, which I had on hand.  It made it a lot easier to keep the flowers in place.  Plus during the holidays I can change the flowers out.

Step 5 – Command Strips

Now this is my favorite step.  Adding the Command Strips! Any projects I can hang up with a Command Strip I will.  Since this project will be going outside on the porch the Command Strips will work great. You can add this welcome sign to your front door, wall, etc.  Whatever works best for you!

Create an easy Front Door Welcome Sign

See how simple that was to make and it’s going to be perfect hanging on your front porch.  If you wanted to take it a step further you can add your house numbers to the front of the planter box with vinyl. It’s a great home decor piece.

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
