DIY Farmhouse Sign

I’ve been itching to do another simple, creative DIY project, and today I’m sharing the result!

I started a new job at a local elementary school as the bookkeeper. I love the environment and the chance to serve kids and educators, and I’m loving the folks I work with so far, too!

Having a new office was a good chance to change things up. I treated myself to a Rae Dunn wall sign and a few desk items, but I wanted to DIY something for my new workspace, too.

I decided to make a DIY farmhouse-esque sign that would look nice with a gray wall and some black and white decor.

Here’s what you’ll need to make something similar:

Drill and bit
Hot glue gun and glue stick
Black and white craft paint
Brushes
Stencil
Ribbon
Twine
Large wood circle
Small wooden heart

First, I drilled two holes in my large wooden circle. These will later serve as a spot for the twine to tie for hanging purposes.

Then, I painted the wooden circle black. (You could absolutely reverse the colors or use other colors of your choice if you wanted!)

Then, as that dried, I painted my wooden heart white.

As the paint dried on both wooden pieces, I cut my twine, to be used for hanging, and ribbon, to make a sweet little bow.

After the black circle was dry, I tied the twine through the drilled holes.

Then, I added on the stencil. This one has three words you can choose from – thankful, grateful, and blessed – and I just chose blessed for my office. I used white paint and tapped it on lightly.

It’s not perfect, but I think it turned out really cute overall.
