Welcome Sign For Your Front Door
How do you make a welcome sign for a front door? I found a chalkboard in the Target dollar section, and with stencil and some chalk turned it into an easy and beautiful welcome sign for my home.

I found this framed chalkboard in the Target dollar section, and you could use any chalkboard you like for this project. I’ve even seen some great ones at the Dollar Store, or you could make your own. You can see how I made my own here – Chalkboard Message Board

I started by seasoning the chalkboard. This means coat the entire chalkboard with chalk. This will prevent the chalk from sticking and make it easy to erase.
After filling it with chalk, I erased it.
I placed my Plaid Folk Art Welcome Stencil onto my chalkboard and secured it in place with some painters tape. You could use stencil tape as well.
I colored in the stencil with chalk.
Once the entire project was covered, I carefully lifted the stencil and painters tape off the chalkboard.
The great thing about this project is how versatile it is. Think about all of the possibilities with the holidays, season, and stencils this simple idea could create.
Now I’m ready to place this welcome sign by my front door.

Great idea Chas. I have so many chalkboards, I need to go get a stencil or tow and start using them. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much Kim, I’m thrilled you want to give this a try.
Your chalkboard welcome sign is perfect to greet guests and your family. You are so talented and I find a ton of inspiration on your blog.
Hugs,

You are so sweet Kippi, thank you so much friend! Right back at you!
I love chalkboard creations! I love the stencil you used. I definitely need a welcome sign in my new home, so I’m pinning this project for later!
Thank you so much, I’m so excited you like it and want to create one too.
Hi Chas. I currently have chalkboard paint and stencils in my stash. A substrate is easy. I’m thinking of all my stencils in a new way. Fun and inspiring piece.
Thank you so much Michele, and I’m thrilled you want to give it a try too 🙂
That turned out great! I really think I need to start checking out the Target dollar spot more often. Pinned.
Thank you so much Joanne. I actually picked this one up earlier and was grateful as our dollar spot has been pretty empty lately.
I love using chalk with stencils instead of paint. I have a decorative chalkboard in my sunroom that I change up that way seasonally. Love your welcome sign done this way.
Thank you so much Beverly, I’m so glad to hear you like doing this as well. So fun to change up decor easily and seasonally.
You are brilliant! I never thought about using chalk with a stencil. This looks great and I love how versatile it is.
Thank you so very much Jenny, I’m so glad you like it.
I love your chalkboard “Welcome” sign. It is so very versatile! pinning -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
