Dress Your Door For Every Season With A DIY Swappable Magnetic Sign

Changing up your front door décor every season can instantly elevate your curb appeal. A super simple way to ensure that your front door is always looking fresh is by creating a DIY magnetic sign using a Dollar Tree craft essential. You can easily adjust this hack to suit your style and level of DIY expertise. More dynamic than your typical DIY welcome sign, the magnetic feature will allow you to swap out different seasonal designs and accessories depending on the time of year. It can even act as a gorgeous spring wreath alternative that will set your porch apart.

Start with a round piece of wood like the Crafter's Square Plywood Hanging Sign from Dollar Tree, and paint it in a neutral color of your choice. You can opt to add your own wire or spend a little more to purchase a kit that comes with pre-drilled holes and twine like these Awizom 6-piece 14-inch wood circles. Next, you'll want to get some slightly smaller wood rounds for the interchangeable portion of your sign. You can decorate these rounds by painting different seasonal messages and designs. Once you've decorated your small rounds to your liking, grab some round magnets like these TRYMAG small magnets for crafts. These will allow you to adhere your smaller rounds to the larger base.

Different types of magnetic décor you can apply to your sign

To secure the magnets, try using superglue instead of relying on their adhesive backing –- especially since your sign will be outside. Stick your magnets in a circular pattern on the front of the large wooden round base and the back of the small wooden rounds. Now, you can swap out the smaller rounds as often as your heart desires! If you don't want to design an entire interchangeable panel, there are other ways to add magnetic décor to your welcome sign with very little effort. In fact, you can even start with a pre-made welcome sign like this rustic welcome door sign from Dmoiclany. Simply stick the magnets on the edges of the sign and add elements like bows for Christmas, branches for Easter, or seasonal flowers. Once you've perfected your welcome sign, consider further transforming your front door with these three accent pieces.

If you want your magnets to disappear, make sure you glue them in an area with a darker background. To create a larger canvas for magnetic fixtures, you can also purchase flexible magnet adhesive sheets. This is an alternative to using smaller magnets as your base, so that you can stick your decorations anywhere your heart desires. Magnets are a low-commitment way to experiment with different types of décor. For your next project, discover whether this magnetic wallpaper alternative is the décor solution your home needs
