Personalized Giant Wood Tags

November 29, 2012

Let’s make giant wood tags and personalize them with the family’s last name.  A neat idea to add a touch of ownership to your front door.

A DIY tutorial to make giant wood tags personalized with your last name.  This is how to handpaint onto wood for personalized wall decor.

You may recall a previous version of the giant wood tags here.  Well my super clever friend asked me to make a set with her last name and I loved the idea so much I had to share it with you all!

It all started with this Thanksgiving version where I cut the wood tags from plywood and painted the words ‘give thanks’ on the front.

That was fun until the season changed and I had to make the Christmas version:

And today is the everyday version with the last name:

These personalized wood tags will hang on my friend’s front door.  Her door is painted dark blue so I painted the letters dark blue to coordinate.

Such a fun project that’s easy and fast and makes a great gift especially for those newlyweds or new home owners.  Looking for more simple gift ideas?  Pull together a cozy gift basket:
