Your front door is the first impression guests get of your home, so why not enhance it a bit? Whether you’re aiming to boost your home’s curb appeal, personalize a new residence, or just seeking a fun weekend activity, crafting your own DIY door decor is an easy way to showcase your style without breaking the bank. Store-bought signs can often seem generic or overpriced, but with a few supplies from Dollar Tree and a touch of creativity, you can craft something that truly reflects you.
This delightful and budget-friendly project requires two hanging wooden planks from Dollar Tree and a couple of small wood slat crates to form the base of the piece. You’ll also need acrylic paint, super glue, twine, and a set of self-adhesive vinyl numbers. To finish it off, grab some seasonal faux flowers, greenery, or even small decorative butterflies to infuse personality. The outcome is a rustic-chic sign for under $10 that serves as both décor and a stylish way to display your house number. You can keep it classic or go bold with your embellishments. The fun of this DIY lies in making it uniquely yours.

Begin by painting your two wooden planks and crates with black acrylic paint, or any shade that complements your home’s aesthetic, to craft a stunning front door design. Painting everything the same color gives a sleek, unified look, but you can also opt to paint each section a different color or create an ombre effect. Consider applying a weather-resistant sealant on the wood to protect your DIY project from the elements and ensure it lasts longer outdoors.
Once the paint is dry, apply super glue to the back of the crate. Attach the crate to the bottom center of the wooden plank so it resembles a mini flower box. Repeat with the other set. Apply your self-adhesive vinyl numbers across the front of each sign to display your address or house number. You can also use a vinyl cutter to personalize the fonts and designs you add to the sign. Then, use twine to hang the sign directly on your door, porch wall, or even a fence gate.
Now comes the enjoyable part: styling the crates. Fill them with items that match your personal style. Consider faux peonies for spring, sunflowers for summer, mini pumpkins or pinecones for fall, and frosted greenery for the holidays. Swap them out throughout the year for a fresh seasonal update. If you’re concerned about the flowers appearing too artificial, there are methods to make your decorative fake flowers seem real. You could also add ribbon bows and small flags for festive occasions. The best aspect of this DIY is its ease of personalization. It’s cute, functional, affordable, and customizable.
