Paint: giant wood tags
Thanksgiving front door decor:
Inspired by Ballard Designs wood holiday tags:
Their tags are 4" x 1 1/2" meant to label drinks and such:
I made these GIANT wood tags for our front door, mine measure 18" x 7":
And I handpainted the words give and thanks:
Add some jute rope to hang:
Here's how I made the giant wood tags:
1. Cut 1/2" plywood to size and drill a 1" hole at center top:
2. Print out words to fit.
I used Ecolier font at 550 point.
Using a ballpoint pen trace letters onto wood:
3. Paint on and inside the indent left behind by the pen:
4. Seal with clear semi-gloss poly to protect from moisture.
Add jute rope and knot. Then tie together with clear monofilament to hang on door:

THESE LOOK TERRIFIC, GREAT IDEA!
Oh I love these - they are so big! They look great on your front door.
Too cute! I'm thinking of making smaller ones with paint sticks. ~ Maureen
WOW! You did a great job painting those and it is such a cool idea to use them in such a non traditional way! Plus, I love the color of your door!

Fabulous project! Would you mind adding a link back to my party as well, please? Thanks! :)
Wow! Love your door color and wood tags! You must have a very steady hand. My letters would not look as smooth and perfect as yours. lol

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen such a fresh idea! The maxi look is awesome on the door :)
These are just perfect!!!
Love them and will be making some for xmas - thanks so much for sharing
Hugs,
You always have great ideas and tutorials! I'm forwarding to my husband and have hime cut some of these to make for my front door, love this!
I have never seen anything quite like this before. I'm loving the look...especially on your bright orange door. Consider this pinned!
Also, I see you're from Westchester! Though I'm living in Orlando, I actually grew up in Mamaroneck. We'll be there this Christmas, in fact. Small world!

Wowzers! I saw these (well, the Xmas ones) via knockoffdecor. I sooo want to make them but I have double doors. Should I just hang one on each door or is that odd?? Help!
Beautiful job! The words came out perfect.
