Add a little fun and festivity to your front porch with this wooden DIY Christmas sign. We’ll show you how to cut, assemble and paint this fun Christmas porch sign in these easy to follow steps.
There are 5 steps to completing this project:
From a sheet of plywood, measure and cut 1 x 5 feet for the DIY wooden snowman’s body. For the hat brim, measure and cut 3-1/2 x 19 inches. Remember to use the proper safety gear when cutting wood, including eye protection.
Draw the shape of a nose onto the plywood board and cut it out using a jigsaw. You can cut a little larger and then sand the edges down to your drawn line to make it smooth if needed.
From the top of the snowman’s body, measure 12 inches down and glue on the hat brim.
Then glue the nose on about 6-1/2 inches below the hat brim.
It’s time to start painting your outdoor Christmas sign! In our example, we are using BEHR Marquee Exterior Paint and Primer in black, white, and orange.
Paint the top of the body and hat brim black and leave to dry.
Paint the rest of the body white and the nose orange and leave to dry.
Paint on the eyes and mouth using fine artist brushes and leave to dry.
Apply as many paint coats as needed until you obtain the desired look and feel. A minimum of two coats is usually required for full coverage.
Use this Christmas sign idea as a starting point to decorate and customize your very own DIY Christmas porch sign however you’d like – we have added a fun red scarf and festive plaid bow. Display your Christmas wood sign on your front porch or balcony, and you are done!
