Handcrafted House Number Sign: Rustic Wooden Disc Design
In this article, we'll guide you through a beginner-friendly DIY project to create a unique house number sign using a wood slice, mason jar, hose clamp, and vinyl numbers. This farmhouse-themed decor piece is budget-friendly, accessible for beginners, and perfect for sprucing up your home or porch.
Preparing the Wood Base
Start by choosing a piece of wood with a farmhouse or barnwood look. You can either use reclaimed wood or a blank wood pallet sign that you've stained or painted with a barnwood technique for an aged, rustic finish.
Attaching the Mason Jar
Secure a mason jar to the wood by using a hose clamp. Wrap the metal clamp around the neck of the mason jar and fix it tightly to the wood using screws. This creates a sturdy holder that can be used as a luminary or for holding flowers/items.
Applying Vinyl Numbers
Use black or contrasting vinyl numbers to display your address numerals on the wood sign. You can stick vinyl numbers directly on the wood or on a painted section for visibility, referencing modern farmhouse styles found in vertical wood address signs for inspiration.
Optional Finishing Touches
- You may spray paint mason jars lightly if you want a frosted or tinted effect to allow light diffusion if placing candles inside.
- Add twine or decorative accents around the mason jar or wood for added farmhouse charm.
- Protect sign with a clear sealant to weatherproof if outdoors.
