Interchangeable Seasonal Wood Signs Nesting Box DIY

Interchangeable seasonal wood signs are so popular right now. The idea is to have a single sign that you can change out for the different seasons; spring, easter, summer, patriotic, fall, Halloween, Christmas, and even special occasions like birthdays.  These fun pieces of decor are an easy to decorate your home without buying and storing extra signs. My friend and fellow blogger, Kaycee Geeding of Roost + Restore has created the best version of these interchangeable wood signs I’ve seen and she calls it a “nesting box”. Let’s make one of these interchangeable seasonal wood signs using her amazing product…

supplies needed for interchangeable wood sign diy

• Interchangeable wood frame of your choice; they come in LARGE 15×8.5 or SMALL 8.5×7

• Next you choose the insert of your choice this is the shiplap insert

how do you personalize seasonal wood signs?

At this point in the project it all depends on how you want to personalize your sign. For this DIY I used the following additional supplies:

• mod podge
• my “Oh Christmas Tree” FREE Printable and/or SVG which can be found HERE
• assortment of buttons
• hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Java gel stain or black paint
• baby wipes

steps to make a diy interchangeable sign 

1. Using a tiny bit of stain or paint on a baby wipe, cover the frame with color. If you don’t want to use stain, you can water down any color of paint you desire to get the same effect.  White, red or gray would be great colors for this project!
2. Paint the insert your desired color. I went with white.
3. Apply mod podge to the insert if using the FREE printable.
4. Trim your printable and place on insert. 
5. Apply a thin layer of mod podge over the printable and allow to dry.
6. Once dry, sand down the edges.
7. If you prefer using an SVG with your cutting machine like I did, grab it HERE.
8. Using your hot glue, add various sized and colored buttons all over your tree to mimic ornaments.
9. Embellish with ribbon or hanger as desired.
