4 Dollar Store Sign Upcycles
I found some fun wooden signs at the dollar store. I had the most fun upcycling them in different ways for the holiday season.
Here are the 3 wooden signs I found at the dollar store. I had accidentally grabbed 2 of the Merry and Bright so I upcycled that sign in 2 different ways.

For the first Merry & Bright sign – I used Folk Art Ultra Dye in the colors Infra Red and Emerald City. I painted the “&” with Folk Art Ultra Gold in the color copper. Once this was painted I let it dry completely.
I then coated the top of the entire piece with Folk Art Dragonfly Glaze in the color Green, Gold, Red shift. It adds a beautiful sparkle and shimmer the piece.
For my second Merry & Bright sign, I painted the entire piece with Folk Art Chalkboard paint and let that dry.
I then seasoned the chalk paint by coloring the piece with chalk.
After coloring the piece, I erased it. This gave it a nice gray color. I then colored a little chalk back on it to give it a snowy effect.
For my let it snow sign, I painted the entire piece with Folk Art Cascade Wood Tint and let that dry.
I then painted the entire piece with Folk Art Dragonfly Glaze in the color Blue, Green, Gold Shift. This again left a beautiful shimmer all over the piece giving it that frosty wintery effect.
For my peace on earth sign I painted the entire piece with Folk Art Treasure Gold paint and let that dry completely.
I am absolutely thrilled with how all of these signs turned out. They will make great decor for my home and great gifts for others. I will probably leave some of these signs up for the entire winter season.
Best of Luck with your hip surgery. Prayers go into surgery with you.
Thank you so much Mary 🙂
These turned out great!
Thank you so much – Happy Thankgiving
These are so pretty! I bought the Let it Snow sign a while back and still haven’t done anything with it yet. You’ve inspired me to get it painted! 😀
Thank you Julie 🙂
Thank you for sharing at #OverTheMoon. Pinned and shared. Have a lovely week. I hope to see you at next week’s party too! Happy Holiday!
Thank you so much Marilyn, and I’ll see you at the next one
Hope you are feeling better. I am new to your channel and just love all your ideas. Your projects turn out beautiful. Thank you. God bless.
You are incredibly sweet Maryann, thank you so much for the kind words. I’m doing well and on the slow road to recovery, thanks for asking. I’m thrilled to have you as part of my subscriber family and feel free to email me anytime. Sending hugs
I love your ideas for these DIY signs. I also like your idea about leaving them up all winter or even all year long. The only sign I haven’t found is the Let it Snow. But I am going to look for it, hopefully there will be some left. Hope to see more of your creations.

Thank you so much Maria! I’m so glad you like it and want to make them too. You can ask the store manager if he/she can hold them for you too if they get more in. I also have called and checked with the other stores as well.
