DIY $6 Family Sign
This is a “Family” sign I made with supplies found in the dollar section at Target. The total cost of this sign was $6! The picture frame was also from Target on clearance for $10.48 marked down from $34.99. I left the rest of the wall empty in the picture because there is another great DIY project on the way!
Supplies Needed:
Chalkboard Sign ($3 in the Target Dollar Section $3)
Family Stickers ($3 in the Target Dollar Section $3)
Mod Podge
Pencil
Level
Masking Tape (read below to know why!)
Directions:
First hang the sign on the wall with masking tape, so you’ll know if it’s level to mark your lines.
I’m sorry but I could not hold the level and draw a straight line across the board while taking a picture, so this will have to do! Once the sign is taped on the wall and secure, take the level and draw a straight line across with a pencil, the measurements of the stickers are 2-1/2″ in height. Measure from top of where you want the stickers to be to the bottom 2-1/2, once you know where, mark on the board with the level of where the stickers will be placed. Once you have that done, go ahead and proceed to the next step.
Make sure your stickers lay out exactly how you want it look, again I’m sorry for this crappy picture, it really is even! It just doesn’t look that way in this picture because of how it was taken! Once it looks the way you want, start with the letter “f”, then start with “y”, work from opposite ends so it’s the most even as possible! I used Mod Podge for the stickers because I was having a hard peeling the paper off and I also wanted those extra few seconds to get the proper placement of the letters! For those of you that don’t have Mod Podge at home, read here for a DIY Recipe: DIY Mod Podge
This is just a picture of me laying out the stickers and Mod Podging them on!
Once you have that completed, this is what it’ll look I like…..
Another final shot on the wall!

DIY Mod Podge
DIY Mod Podge
Here is the recipe for DIY Mod Podge, chances are you already have the supplies on hand! It can’t get any simpler than this!
Mix the water & white glue in a container (I like to use mason jars) and stir or shake really well. That’s it, sooo easy! All Mod Podge is, is equal parts white glue and water.
Tip for the water, after you add the white glue to the jar, fill the bottle with water so you know it’s 4 oz!
Do you guys remember when I got that glue for free?! If not, read here: CVS Haul, $1.78 Moneymaker!
To be honest, I’m not crazy about homemade Mod Podge because I find the paper gets too bubbly using this, but this is a great alternative if you’re pinching your pennies or in my case, too lazy to go out for one thing! If you do prefer the “real” Mod Podge, Target carries a sample size in the dollar section (have I mentioned how much I LOVE the dollar section?!). Also, all of the craft stores carry the “real” Mod Podge, but make sure you use a coupon! Also, check back soon because I will be showing you how to coupon at Michaels, yup!, that’s right-Couponing at Michaels! Does it get any better than that?!
