This DIY porch sign will add gorgeous curb appeal to your home for fall and Christmas!<\/em><\/p>\n Consider making just one sign to display on your porch for multiple<\/em> holidays! I love the idea of getting double the use out of one piece of decor, and this is such a fun and easy painting craft project, too.<\/p>\n You’ll be able to display your pretty reversible Fall & Christmas<\/a> porch sign to welcome guests, whether you place it outside or indoors!<\/p>\n There are a few ways to make a porch sign like this, and, today, I’ll be demonstrating the process using stencils and paint. This piece was first painted on all sides in solid white and then once that dried, I used the stencils to paint the wording and designs using red and orange paint.<\/p>\n My piece of MDF 2×4 wood came from the Home Depot<\/a> for this craft project, and I had it cut down to a 1 ft x 4 ft size in store. I can use the leftover piece of wood to make another sign in the future!<\/p>\n If you have some scrap wood already on hand in the garage, this could be an opportunity to use it without even buying wood! You could even ask someone at your local Home Depot if they have extra cull wood, which is normally marked down for super cheap, sometimes even free!<\/p>\n Check out this cute fall set of stencils<\/a> with the letters F-A-L-L and a few other fall-related designs and the word “hello”. I also bought this set of Christmas stencils<\/a> for the Merry Christmas design. Though my stencil is currently unavailable, but Amazon has a very similar design for sale<\/a>!<\/p>\n If you already have stencils on hand you’d prefer to use, that is great as well!<\/p>\n I went through my garage and used leftover latex Behr house paint samples<\/a> for this paint project, which worked out great. You could also use craft paints instead. Feel free to use colors you’d prefer or have on hand. Next time I’d like to try a wood stain and paint combo maybe. There are so many possibilities for this idea as it’s very customizable.<\/p>\n Hip Tip: <\/strong>You could even use heat transfer vinyl<\/a> and a regular handheld iron<\/a> and simply iron the vinyl on as an alternative to painting!<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t 1<\/span><\/p>\n Paint all sides of the wood board white using a brush or roller and let dry. It may need several light coats to look even.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 2<\/span><\/p>\n Once dry, layout and tape or use repositionable adhesive spray<\/a> on the stencils to attach them where desired.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n Using a paper plate and paper towel, place a small amount of paint on it, and dip the sponge or brush in. Dab most of the paint off, and then use a light tapping motion using the paint over the stencil. Do multiple coats instead of using additional paint to avoid bleeding.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n Let dry and then do the same on the reverse side using the other set of stencils.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 5<\/span><\/p>\n Once both sides are dry, spray or paint with a clear topcoat.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n This would be a fun one to go in on with a friend and split the supplies and have a craft night. In the end, you’ll both have a fun porch sign to incorporate into your home’s decor. It’ll look great for both Fall and Christmas and will last for years.<\/p>\n A few years ago I made a similar sign using the same paint colors in reverse except I made my own adhesive vinyl stencils using my Cricut machine<\/a>. The process is pretty similar, as you paint your board a solid color, apply the adhesive stencils, and then go back over it using a different color paint for the lettering.<\/p>\n Make these $1 spray painted fall dishes from Dollar Tree next!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This DIY porch sign will add gorgeous curb appeal to your home for fall and Christmas!
