DIY Wood Round Door Hanger Signs

August 1, 2024September 15, 2024 Country Lily DIY Decor1 Comment

Make your own budget friendly farmhouse door or wall sign using this DIY wood round tutorial. Each DIY wood round costs less than $5 to make.

This post contains affiliate links, if you purchase through these links, I will receive a small commission at no extra charge to you.

Amazon carries the exact same size and thickness with out the twine hangers. You can purchase a 12 pack for $12.99.

Modern Farmhouse DIY Wood Round

To create this beautiful modern farmhouse wood round, measure 7 1/2″ from the right hand side and make a mark.

Place a piece of painters tape on your mark. This should be roughly 1/3 of the wood round.

Measure and mark 4″ from the top and the bottom of the wood round.

Place painters tape on those areas too. If you are concerned with paint bleed through, you could apply a coat of Mod Podge before painting.

Time To Paint!

On the right hand side, paint the top and bottom with two coats of a black acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry.

Place painters tape along the two black lines.

Paint the center section white. You don’t have to paint all the way across, just far enough to past the black lines on the left.

Once your paint is dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge to the natural wood surface.

Allow the Mod Podge to completely dry. We will be covering the natural wood area with a piece of scrap book paper that has a herringbone pattern. You can find this at Hobby Lobby.

To adhere the scrap book paper, lay the wood round onto a heat protective mat. Line your scrap book paper edge to the line you create on the wood round. Lay a piece of parchment paper on top of the scrap book paper and gently go over this area with a small iron set on 300 to 325 degrees. This will heat the dry Mod Podge up and adhere your paper to the wood.

Allow your wood round to cool, then using a piece of sandpaper, go around the edges in one direction to remove the excess paper and give you a nice clean edge.

To protect the paper apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the surface. I applied to the entire wood round to make sure everything has the same sheen.

Adding Embellishments

Once the Mod Podge dried, I added a decal I made using my Cricut machine. If you don’t have a Cricut or vinyl cutting machine, no worries. I have a free printable, you can download the PDF, print at home and trace this onto your project. Then fill it in with paint or a marker.

Using three wooden dowels, these came from

Using a pencil, make a curved mark at the top and bottom of the dowel.

Cut along your lines. I used my hand held miter shears. Then I lightly sanded each end of the dowel.

Glue the dowel in place.

If your planning on hanging this on a covered porch, I recommend using a long term permanent glue.

Line the other two dowels from the edge of this dowel along the black lines.

Mark, cut, and glue the same way.

Adding Greenery and a Bow

The greenery I chose for the top of this wood round DIY, was two stems of boxwood picks from Wal-Mart.

Place the greenery stems end to end and wrap with twine to hold them together. If you are using a wood round that does not have a hanger, you can also use the twine to create a hanger on the back.

I made a simple bow using some burlap ribbon, and placed a burlap flower from

I attached the bow to the greenery using twine and left the ends of the twine long to add some natural wood beads.

Glue your greenery and bow to the top of the wood round to complete this DIY.

Farmhouse Cow Print Wood Round DIY

This wood round DIY was made using cow print scrap book paper from Hobby Lobby, lambs ear picks from Wal-Mart, buffalo check and burlap ribbon. This decal is also available as a free PDF printable.

Welcome To Our Home Wood Round DIY

Did you know that Dollar Tree’s MDF wreath base form fits perfectly on top of these wood rounds? I painted sections of this round with white paint and celery green paint. Using a Dollar Tree furniture marker, I went over the lines to give them a pop of color. Added a decal with two different fonts, and placed the MDF wreath form painted a khaki color on top of the wood round, embellished the top with two wood birds and a wood flower, found at Dollar Tree during the Spring season.

A Fun Owl Door Hanger DIY

How fun is this door hanger? Paint a wooden owl from Dollar Tree with Dollar Tree’s furniture markers in the color maple and oak. Fill in the top and eyes with a black acrylic paint, and the beak with a pumpkin orange paint. Dry brush an ivory color along the edges to give it a feathered look and glue to a Dollar Tree sign.

Dollar Tree Wallpaper DIY’s

Dollar Tree is carrying brand new designs of removable wallpaper. Transform your space with these affordable wallpaper DIY’s.

Creative ways to use Dollar Tree wallpaper, other than on the walls.

This post contains affiliate links, if you purchase through these links, I will receive a small commission at no extra charge to you.

Dollar Tree sells a variety of beautiful wallpaper designs that are removable. Not only is this renter friendly, but is great for crafting. If you decide later you want a different design on your project, simply remove the wall paper and replace it with another design.

Wallpaper Wood Panel DIY’s

This project is quick and easy to make. It’s also a great way to decorate your walls for only a few dollars.

In Dollar Tree’s Plus section, you can find 12″ square wood panels for $3.00 each. I purchased 2.

Back

Front

Stain or paint both frames the color of your choice. I used a brown acrylic paint, once dry, I dry brushed white over it to give it a bit more character. It will also go well with the wallpaper design I chose.

No need to paint the inside of the panel because the wallpaper is pretty thick and you can’t see through it.

Once you have trimmed your wallpaper down to fit within the panel, simply remove the backing of the wallpaper to apply to the inside of the frame.

I paired the panels with a beautiful decor piece I purchased from Hobby Lobby at 50% off the original price.

The Finished Wallpaper Panel DIY

They look beautiful with or without the Hobby Lobby piece.

Decorative Rolling Pin Wallpaper DIY

Wooden rolling pins can be purchased at thrift stores, Wal-Mart, or Dollar General for a few dollars. Or perhaps you already have some that your not using. By simply adding wallpaper, you can have a custom decor piece. ***This is for decorative use only*** Since we are using removable wallpaper, you can simply remove the paper later if you decide you want to use your rolling pin for cooking.

The wallpaper sheet is large enough to cover two rolling pins, or you could use two different designs like I did.

I chose to leave the handles a natural wood color and placed the wallpaper 1/4″ from each end of the rolling pin.

Which one do you prefer, the eucalyptus or the butterflies with flowers?

Decorative Wallpaper Tray DIY

Typically you can find silver oval or rectangular trays at Dollar Tree. These make great magnet boards to add to your desk area.

In addition to magnet boards, you could use them as a decor piece or a decorative tray. I painted the oval tray in a Mineral Chalk Paint, once dry I dry brushed White Chalk Paint over the edges to bring our the beautiful detail. **If you choose to paint your tray, I recommend spray painting or using a chalk paint to make sure it adheres to the metal. If using chalk paint, add a layer of Mod Podge over the dry paint to ensure the paint doesn’t chip off.**

Finally, add the wallpaper of your choice.

Stylish as a decor piece or as a tray.

Elegant Wallpaper DIY’s

Wrapping a battery operated LED candle with wallpaper can really elevate your decor. I DO NOT recommend adding this to a real candle.

Great accent piece to compliment the first project.

Transform an ordinary glass vase into a statement piece!

Place artificial or real florals for a classy look.

10 Easy To Do Farmhouse Tier Tray and Riser Diy’s

April 30, 2022March 3, 2024 Country Lily DIY DecorLeave a comment

Using tier trays and risers can really take your decorating style up a notch. However, they can be quite expensive. Here are 10 budget friendly do it yourself tier trays and risers. I hope you get tons of inspiration. If you would like to see the full step by step video tutorial, make sure to click on my YouTube video at the end.

Riser # 1 is made using a Dollar Tree cake pan, painted to look like galvanized metal. The base is a ceramic candle holder sitting atop a round plastic container from Dollar Tree, painted a distressed white. This riser can give height in your decor and can be decorated in many different ways.

Riser # 2 is gorgeous! Using two wood rounds from Wal-Mart at $1 a piece, glue wooden beads between the two. I purchase my wooden beads from Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3Kqtt0r

The base is a glass candle holder from Dollar Tree painted with white chalk paint and then antique wax added to the entire riser. I love how this turned out, and only cost a few dollars to make.

Riser # 3, is a painted version of riser # 2. Using a distressing paint technique with white chalk paint, you can customize this riser to fit into your color theme.

Riser # 4 has a unique shape. Most risers you see are round or rectangular. Here you have two hexagon shaped risers to give your decor a more modern look. The one on the left has a Dollar Tree candle holder as its base while the one on the right has wooden beads on each corner.

Riser # 5 has a classic look that never goes out of style. This piece is all wood. Using a wood round from Dollar Tree’s Plus section and wooden beads as feet, all stained with Antique wax, gives this riser such a gorgeous finish.

Riser # 6 is stunning! Removing the feet from the previous riser and combining this with riser # 4 (the hexagon riser), takes these two pieces to another level of beauty. The crisp white of the base combined with the beauty of the wood is simply gorgeous.

#7 is a 3 tiered tray that can serve as not only home decor, but can be functional for organizing. It is made from three wooden trays from Dollar Tree and paint stir sticks!

You can use this on your kitchen counter to hold snacks, or on your bathroom counter to organize some of your smaller items.

#8 has to be one of my favorites. This two tier rectangular tray is made from old wooden picture frames, and a wooden leg from a 1980’s coffee table. You can display much larger items, and change the decor out for every season.

#9 is a beauty made from scrap wood pieces. It is sturdy and made to last. I have the decal used here as a free PDF printable (click on the free printable link in the menu). You can print this onto copy paper and use the transfer method onto your project.

#10 is another favorite. It is made from the wooden panels from the Dollar Tree Plus section. Each panel costs $3. An old candle stick is used as the base between the two and 4 wooden beads added as feet. Another nice size tier tray.

Farmhouse Diy Clock, Made Using Mostly Dollar Tree Items

August 31, 2021March 3, 2024 Country Lily DIY DecorLeave a comment

I am going to show you the step by step process on how to create this beautiful clock for less than $7 (if you already have a clock mechanism) or $12 if you need to purchase the clock mechanism.

Step 1: Use two signs from Dollar Tree and glue them together using craft sticks. The back of the two signs will become the front of the clock.

Step 2: Use two packages of 5 gallon paint stir sticks, these can be found at Wal-Mart for less than $1 a pack.

Step 3: Cut them down to fit on the edges of the signs to create a frame and attach them using E6000.

Step 4: Attach one in the center of the two signs, and then attach one in the center of the two separate sections.

Step 5: Using 4 of the one gallon paint sticks or ruler sticks, that you can purchase from Lowe’s in a pack of 10 for $1.

Measure and cut out the angles for each section to create an X and attach using E6000.

Step 6: Fill in any large cracks with wood filler, allow it to dry and then sand down smooth.

Step 7: Find the center of the sign and drill a hole for the clock mechanism to be able to fit through.

Step 8: Glue tumbling tower game pieces from Dollar Tree, end to end until you have enough to go from one end of the sign to the other. Some of them will have to be cut to fit the sign perfectly. Glue them onto the back of the sign using E6000. This is going to create a beautiful frame and also allow room for the clock mechanism to set flush on the back.

Step 9: Fill in the cracks on the sides with spackling, allow to dry, and sand down smooth.

Step 10: Paint the sign the color of your choice. I painted this one with white chalk paint.

Step 11: If you like a distressed look, dry brush over the sign using a grey chalk paint.

Step 12: Using the two larger wire rings from a package from Dollar Tree, spray paint them in a Matte Black. Also spray paint the clock hands, so they match the rings.

Step 13: Once the paint has dried, attached the rings to the sign using E6000.

Step 14: Using the metal numbers from Dollar Tree, dry brush Truffle colored chalk paint on the edges to give a rusty look.

Step 15: Glue the numbers to the sign using E6000.

Step 16: Insert the clock mechanism and attach the clock hands.

Now, you have a gorgeous Farmhouse clock! If you would like to watch the Full Step by Step tutorial, see my YouTube video at the end of this post.

Thrift Flips

Thrift Decor Diys

July 31, 2021March 4, 2024 Country Lily DIY Decor1 Comment

Is it the thrill of hunting for that hidden gem, or the savings? For me it is both! I love to go thrift shopping and get so excited when I find some amazing pieces at rock bottom prices. I know they look a little rough around the edges, but with just a little work and elbow grease, you can transform it into a beautiful piece of decor. Sometimes with just a simple coat of paint, you can really bring new life into a piece. And that is just what I did for these 3 thrifted items. To see what they looked like before and to see the full tutorial on all three pieces, check out my YouTube video at the end of this post.

The first item I made over was a wine carafe that I purchased for only $1. I sprayed two coats of Krylon Fusion Spray Paint in the Color Matte White , you can find here: https://amzn.to/3f8YSYf added some black chalk paint and a few greenery stems, turning this used wine bottle into a gorgeous farmhouse decor piece.

The second gem I found, was a small picnic basket. When I picked it up, I could just image flowers and greenery bursting from inside, as if it were growing out of the basket. There wasn’t a price tag, so I was a little skeptical went I went to the register to ask how much it was. To my surprise, it was only $1. What a steal. Using the same Krylon Fusion Matte White Spray paint, and adding buffalo check ribbon, this basket turned from drab to fab.

Adding simple greenery, lavender, and babies breath, and it is just what I imaged it would look like when I originally picked it up.

And the third piece was truly a hidden treasure. Tucked away on the bottom of a shelf was a wooden piece, that I was unsure what it even was. Once I picked it up, I realized it was a charging station. Not just any charging station either, this piece sells on Wayfair for $49, and I purchased this one for $3. Now that’s a bargain. Using the same spray paint and simply adding a decal I made with the Cricut Joy, and now I have a gorgeous, high end, farmhouse charging station to hide all of those messy cords. If you like this decal, don’t forget to check out my free printable page here https://wordpress.com/post/countrylilydecor.com/179 You can print this design out and trace onto your project.

I am pleased with how my thrifted items turned out. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful for your home on a budget. For the detailed tutorial, see my video below. Take care everyone, xoxo Barbara
