Equipment
- Saw
- Drill
- Screwdriver
- tape measure
- 1-inch paint brush
Ingredients
- 1 unfinished board cut to size
- picture frame hanging kit
- 4 bottles outdoor paint red, orange, yellow, and blue
- 1 roll painter's tape
- metal house numbers
Instructions
- Cut the board to fit your space. Decide what size your house number sign needs to be and cut it. Mine is 4 inches wide by 28 inches long. Each painted section is 4x7 inches.
- Attach the picture hanger to the back of the board according to the kit instructions.
- Paint the background of the sign. Use painter’s tape to mark each section, then paint. Let the paint dry and re-tape as needed until the whole sign is painted. Make sure you cover the sides too. Allow the sign to dry overnight.
- Attach the house numbers. Mark where the numbers will go on the sign. (Mine came with a template.) Drill holes into the boards and attach the numbers with screws.
- Hang the house numbers sign. Attach a screw to the side of the house and hang the sign. Adjust it as needed to make sure it’s level.
