I made one at Christmas and got a lot of compliments on it. They are trending right now. Have another piece of wood & need to make a "generic" one that can be used throughout the year. Love yours!
Loved seeing projects that are finished, not leaving the back unpainted. Thnx for the attention to detail that you always seem to have. Beautiful project.
So cute!!! I have those letters and a board. I need to make it!! I wish I would have bought that ribbon at Christmas time-told myself no I don’t need it. Ugh!! Kicking myself
Hi Christina! I just discovered you today, and I am a new subscriber!!! This was a super cute project and I LOVE your technique on bow making! I also watched your video on your thrift store finds and your wax and peel (with duct tape) method turned out amazing!!! So happy I came your channel!!!
Betty, I honestly can not remember exactly. I created this so long ago. I will really try and start including the lengths in my videos. So sorry about that.
I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby. Here is the link. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Wood-Crafting/Unfinished-Wood/Wood-Plank/p/80932353?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI77ya16-M-QIVCs-GCh3-VAwAEAQYASABEgK8-fD_BwE
I went to michaels & joanns but they were about $4 a piece, I ended up buying the thin wooden letters at Walmart for about 1.75 a piece. I found the exact same chalk paint he uses for $6 at wal mart too!
Thanks for the tip Deb! I haven’t had any issues before but I’ll keep that in mind for future outside projects! E600 is a good alternative glue, just takes longer to dry.
I love this welcome sign! Your painting technique is awesome! I’m wondering if rain and weather will ruin the letters? I also found that hot glue was not weather resistant. E 6000 wasn’t either???
Thank you! If you use a water resistant sealer it should help the letters and sign last longer. I lived in Texas when I made the sign and never had any issues with the weather and hot glue. Maybe depends on the placement of the sign though. Mine was on my porch underneath a balcony. Also never had any issues with E6000.
Does your glue gun constantly drip? I have the same one and can’t use it because it wastes glue sticks. I even stood it up where the end points towards the ceiling
The wood letters came from the Target Dollar Spot but that was back in the fall. You can get the wood letters at any craft store year round. The wood board is from Hobby Lobby.
I’m sorry I didn’t say exactly what size each piece of ribbon is. It’s been a while since I created the bow so I’m not exactly sure. I cut three different size pieces to create the bow, large, medium and small. I make sure to cut the pieces large enough that when I glue the ends together they are long enough for form my bow. I hope that helps.
Thank you so much I went back to the video and I heard the name of the paint I guess I wasn’t pay attention the first time. I ordered the wood from hobby lobby and my ribbon two I can’t wait to put my sign together.
Does anyone know the measurements of the board? I have deck boards and want to repurpose them and was wondering if the ones I have are too small. Could anyone give me any input. I figured I could still make them but they'll have to be for smaller homes, apartments doors or patios.
I got the letters in a pack from the Target Dollar Spot in the fall. They sell wood letters similar at many stores, Michaels, Joanns, Walmart, and Hobby Lobby is usually where I get my wood letters from.
Finally found the perfect DIY video. All other videos required stencils and tools that i don't have. Thank you!
Yay! 😊

Very pretty! Had no idea you could buy wood like that at Hobby lobby

Hi Christine.....Love the video but could you please tell me the lengths of the ribbon you cut for the bow. Thanks.....Betty
Betty, I honestly can not remember exactly. I created this so long ago. I will really try and start including the lengths in my videos. So sorry about that.
Hi, love your video and definitely making one. Whats the size of the letters?
Thanks Daisy. The letters are 5 inches.
Do you need to seal the paint if this is going to be outside?
Yes! You always want to make sure to deal any wood that is going to be outdoors.
What kind of board is this? I would love to try this 😍
I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby. Here is the link.

Beautiful i just moved into a new house looking for idea's and i have a really good size porch this would be a great idea.
Thanks Chandra! Glad you like the sign. 🙂
What size wood did you use
Can I use Heather gray instead of hazelnut to distress
Yes, you can use whatever colors you like. 🙂
Thanks
On the welcome letters would hot glue be better or what about the E6000?
E6000 will be a better hold, especially if you live in a warmer climate.
LOVE IT!!!! Where can I find wood letters, I’m very new to all this really want to try doing it myself.
Thank you Elizabeth! You can find wood letters at most craft stores, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabrics and Walmart.
I went to michaels & joanns but they were about $4 a piece, I ended up buying the thin wooden letters at Walmart for about 1.75 a piece. I found the exact same chalk paint he uses for $6 at wal mart too!
I would not use hot glue for an outside project. The heat in the summer will pull them off. Love this though! ❤
Thanks for the tip Deb! I haven’t had any issues before but I’ll keep that in mind for future outside projects! E600 is a good alternative glue, just takes longer to dry.
I Have A Question About The Jute What Is The Difference Between Jute And Twine ??
I think it’s pretty much the same thing. Not entirely sure there’s much of a difference but I could be wrong.
I love this welcome sign! Your painting technique is awesome! I’m wondering if rain and weather will ruin the letters? I also found that hot glue was not weather resistant. E 6000 wasn’t either???
Thank you! If you use a water resistant sealer it should help the letters and sign last longer. I lived in Texas when I made the sign and never had any issues with the weather and hot glue. Maybe depends on the placement of the sign though. Mine was on my porch underneath a balcony. Also never had any issues with E6000.
How long did it take the paint to dry on your board?
krystal whitner not long at all. Chalk paint dries fast.
Does your glue gun constantly drip? I have the same one and can’t use it because it wastes glue sticks. I even stood it up where the end points towards the ceiling
I haven’t had any issues with my glue gun dripping. Sorry to hear that yours does.
Can you list where you got the wood and materials from.
The wood letters came from the Target Dollar Spot but that was back in the fall. You can get the wood letters at any craft store year round. The wood board is from Hobby Lobby.
It’s beautiful! Do you knew w how many inches the letters are
Thank you. The letters are 5 inches.
What are the sizes of your ribbons to make the bow?
I’m sorry I didn’t say exactly what size each piece of ribbon is. It’s been a while since I created the bow so I’m not exactly sure. I cut three different size pieces to create the bow, large, medium and small. I make sure to cut the pieces large enough that when I glue the ends together they are long enough for form my bow. I hope that helps.
What store did you get your wood letters from?
The wood letters are from the Target Dollar Spot last year, but most craft stores sell wood letters similar.
I love this!
I’m having a hard time finding letters. What size were you letters ?
Thanks Raven! The letters are 5 inches.

I love this! What was the thickness of the letters you bought?
What is the name of the black paint? I want to make my own welcome sign
It’s Waverly Inspirations paint in the color Ink.
Thank you so much I went back to the video and I heard the name of the paint I guess I wasn’t pay attention the first time. I ordered the wood from hobby lobby and my ribbon two I can’t wait to put my sign together.
Does anyone know the measurements of the board? I have deck boards and want to repurpose them and was wondering if the ones I have are too small. Could anyone give me any input. I figured I could still make them but they'll have to be for smaller homes, apartments doors or patios.
The board is from Hobby Lobby and the measurements are, Length: 9 1/8",
Width: 48", Thickness: 3/4".
Hi there! I was wondering if you have dimensions for the bow. Something I could go off of? And the dimensions of the board?
I don’t remember what dimensions I used for the bow. I’m sorry I didn’t mention the size in the video. The board is 48” x 9 1/2”.
What size wood did you use?
48” x 9 1/2” board from Hobby Lobby. If it’s not on sale you can use the 40% coupon on the board to get it for a cheaper price.
Where did you purchase the letters?
The letters I used came in a pack from the Target Dollar Spot. I purchased them in the fall though.
Where did you get the letters from?
I got the letters in a pack from the Target Dollar Spot in the fall. They sell wood letters similar at many stores, Michaels, Joanns, Walmart, and Hobby Lobby is usually where I get my wood letters from.
What size were they?
How big are the letters you use?
5 inches
What happens when someone leaves this in the rain?
It’s always best to use an outdoor sealer on the sign to make it last. I even recommend using a sealer on store bought outdoor signs as well.
What size is the board
48” x 9.5”
Thank you
Sorry for all the questions but I just need to verify what the measurements were for the board
No problem. It’s 48” x 9.5”.
This looks so good! I love the way you make the bow!
Thank you!
