Store-bought welcome hanging signs are so outdated and ordinary. Instead, why not spend some quality family time and explore different ideas for DIY signs that you can make for a fraction of the price with things that are lying around your house. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Seasonal welcome hanging signs
Liven up your front door porch area with a welcome sign that you can switch up and replace with each passing season. Unleash your creativity and design one using nothing but a stump of wood and some acrylic paint. Sunflowers would be an ideal choice for your summer sign, and you can switch to a vibrant flower patch design in the monsoon season. Winters may be cold, but your sign doesn’t have to be, you can paint some English Primrose and the Winter Jasmine, a perfect combination to match your Christmas wreath and décor.

Chiseled welcome sign
If you prefer etching over painting, then we have got the perfect DIY welcome hanging sign idea for your front door. All you need is a stone slab (the choice is yours) and some etching tools to chisel and carve out a nice homemade sign. You can even experiment with fonts and floral patterns on paper first and then replicate the design on the slab. The best part, this one won’t take a beating in extreme weather conditions; it will add a certain rustic English manor feel to your home as well. Mix and match stone slabs if you want to get more creative with your designs.

Canvas quote signs
If you would like to quote something from the Holy Bible to bless your lovely house, why not make a canvas sign of your favorite passage? For example, Joshua 24:15 states “But as for me and my household, we will serve the lord,” this would be perfect for your next DIY sign. Or you can even quote your favorite authors and update the canvas regularly just to keep things interesting. Sounds like a fun DIY activity for the family to explore over a long weekend, right?

Thought of the day welcome hanging signs
Welcome your friends, family, and guests with open arms and perhaps an enlightening notion with this simple whiteboard welcome sign. This is a nice opportunity for you to showcase your calligraphy skills and quote your absolute favorite thought of the day. If you want a more rustic feel to the whole sign, you can fashion a chalkboard sign for the same purpose. We leave the aesthetics up to you but this also sounds like a fun task for each family member to chip in and write their thoughts of the day.
