DIY Farmhouse “WELCOME” Sign with Laser Cut Letters

There’s something timeless about a tall wooden sign leaning against the porch, greeting guests before you even open the door. With just a few laser cut letters and a little paint, you can make your own farmhouse “WELCOME” sign that looks straight out of a boutique.

Materials You’ll Need

• Wood Blank Board (36–48 inches tall)

• Laser Cut Letters (W, E, L, C, O, M, E) → [insert link to Letters Collection]

• Mylar Stencil (optional flourish) → [insert link to Stencils Collection]

• Paint (black + white or your choice)

• Sandpaper, brushes, sealer

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Lightly sand your wood blank to smooth rough edges.

2. Paint the background board in your base color (white, cream, or weathered gray).

3. Paint each letter separately, using a bold contrasting color.

4. Lay out the letters vertically, spacing evenly.

5. Glue or nail the letters to the board.

6. Add stencil flourishes at top/bottom if desired.

7. Seal with clear polyurethane for weather resistance.

Pro Tips

• Distress edges with sandpaper for that true farmhouse look.

• Use painter’s tape as a guide to keep letters perfectly straight.

• Spray sealer outdoors—poly coats can get messy.

Common Mistakes

• Skipping the sealer → peeling paint after one season.

• Uneven spacing → use a ruler or spacer blocks.

• Rushing dry times → letters may slide or smudge.
