A personalized wood sign can be used in many ways to decorate your home throughout the year. The outside rim of the sign is the base of the sign, and you can style the wood style with anything you want. For example, you can choose to print a family portrait on the wood and place it on your mantle! Be innovative and feel free to customize your sign to your liking.  

Another thing you can do is make a wooden sign with a group of friends or family. 

We recognize that it can be difficult learning a new craft, navigating your busy schedule or even trying to capture the attention of your child.   

However, if you want to dedicate the time to spend time with your loved ones this craft is an exciting thing to do together since you can collaborate on the ways to customize your sign. 

Designing a personalized wood sign is also a great gift to give to a family member or friend. The freedom you have to customize the sign provides the ability to tailor the sign and add an extra touch to the gift as opposed to a store-bought item that is not unique or special.
