Merry Christmas DIY Sign
Here it is! I love the copper lettering, white background, and dark stained edges. I hung my new “Merry Christmas” sign on one of my antique doors with a little Christmas greenery in the background. I love the way it turned out. It’s the perfect little touch of DIY holiday cheer for my home.

I love this little DIY Merry Christmas sign so much that I think I’m going to make another one! I have an identical antique door on the other side of my buffet that is now calling for some holiday cheer.
