A classic "Home Sweet Home" sign makes for cute wall art with a warm, welcoming touch, especially when you DIY it. Luckily, you can make a beautiful floral-themed sign with just a few affordable Dollar Tree items. For this project you will need peel-and-stick floral peel-and-stick wall decals (if Dollar Tree is out, try Amazon where you can find Maktem watercolor peony flower decals), a crafters round plywood hanging sign, and some paint in a color of your choice. For the sign lettering, you might want to use a Cricut or a stencil to get crisp, clean lines. Alternatively, you can freehand the lettering for homemade look.
The best part about this craft is how easily you can tailor it to fit your style by swapping out paint colors, decals, and phrases. Even simple changes like opting for a square plywood sign instead of a round one can have an impact on this project. It's a great project for people who love crafting but don't necessarily feel artistically inclined because the peel-and-stick decals are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
Customizing your DIY home sweet home sign
To make the DIY 'home sweet home' sign, first paint your plywood round and allow it to dry completely. If opting for floral decals, try choosing a paint color that complements flowers like a light green or a sky blue. Once the paint is dry, carefully place your peel-and-stick wall decal onto the bottom half of your plywood. Press the decal down firmly, removing any air bubbles. Then trim any excess decal hanging over the side of your sign. Finally, it's time to add the words. For this you can use a stencil, your Cricut, or freehand the lettering. Whichever method you choose, be sure to place the letting in the center of your sign.
If a 'Home Sweet Home' sign doesn't match your aesthetic, don't worry. You can also create a budget-friendly address sign using the same Dollar Tree essentials or use a phrase or quote that better fits your personality. If you want to keep this popular decor trend far away from your home, then opt for a DIY sign without words to keep things unique. Instead you can stick to wall decals and paint or use a little Mod Podge to turn your favorite photos into beautiful home decor using the same wooden crafters hanging sign.
