Back Door Welcoming Sign

The way my house is laid out almost all my frequent guests (neighbors, family, and friends) go through my garage. I like it that people (I know) are comfortable using the back door rather then my front door. To show them how welcomed they are in my home I made this sign!!

Isn't it welcoming???

Here are the supplies you need.

Frame, Burlap, tape, paint, and Letter Stamps (all supplies I had on-hand, cost $0)


Remember to always recycle!! This is the same frame I used for my Easter Decor.

Wrap the burlap around the backer board of a frame. I kept the original board from this frame because I knew I would find a use for it one day.


Stamp your letters trying to keep as centered as possible. Mine are not 100% level but I do not have those fancy see-through stamps they have out these day. (My stamps are 5 years old and this is the first time I have ever used them)

I am sure you noticed I used an "R" rather then "are" I thought it would be a little bit more trendy. I did just win a Trendy Treehouse Award from Those Northern Skies. Thanks, Melissa!

Then add any type of decor you want to your frame. I added a star fish from my sister's wedding 3 years ago. (Have you figured out that- I keep everything?!?!)

I have to share my inspiration. At my Grandmother's house this plaque has greeted all of her back door guests for the past 15 years.


This is my back door area. I hope my guests feel very welcomed to my humble home!!

Now I just need to clean up all the junk in my garage so everything looks just as welcoming!

Also, don't forget to enter in my clutch purse give away. It it ends May 31st. PLUS, on the 20-25th of every month I have a Linking Party Called Gifts From the Heart. I would love for you to join me and show us some of your homemade gifts you made this month!!

I've always loved that quote...I should hang one in my garage too - most people come in through our garage too

The blue is so nice and welcoming.
