No Soliciting! Whether you want to stop people from knocking on your door or leave people a message these 2 easy projects are for you!

No Soliciting! Have you ever had a workman coming to fix something and you don’t want to miss them because you are taking your kids to the bus, want to jump in the shower, etc? Or maybe you have people coming and disrupting your house trying to sell something. These easy projects can help you out.

Can you make your own no soliciting sign?

Yes, you can, and here are the instructions to create a couple of options for your home.

You'll need a picture frame, tile, chalk board, or something like this which is a piece of slate I found in the dollar section at Target.

    Much better than a post it note on the dorr that could fall off any time!
    Does the No soliciting one work though? People round here tend to try their luck anyway – usually just as we are eating our dinner!! #firstworldproblems ! Every little helps I guess 😀

      Thank you Julie, and luckily it works for us. Only once and a great while do I get someone who claims they didn’t see it or thinks they’re the exception. I’m so sorry they are interrupting dinner, that’s not very nice of them.
