Santa Stops Here- Christmas Street Address Sign DIY

Every kid wants to be sure Santa doesn’t miss their home on Christmas Eve!

Here’s a cute, inexpensive, easy, and completely unique sign to let Santa know exactly where you are.

Here’s how to make your own-
 
Gather supplies. I cut a piece of scrap wood for the sign part, and purchased an inexpensive spindle and a finial from Home Depot. I attached these to each other with screws. I also purchased precut wooden numbers from JoAnn’s. If you don’t have scrap wood for the sign, you can purchase precut pieces in a variety of sizes a shapes at your local craft shop.

Using leftover Krylon spray paint, I painted the entire sign red. Once that was dry, I painted out more detailed parts in white. 

Next, I used paint pens to add even smaller details. Green polka dots on the top finial and a wavy line border around the sign. A red pen to write the words "Santa Stops Here". I used a small flat brush with red craft paint to paint the candy-cane stripe border.

Using green craft paint, I painted my pre-cut numbers. I attached them to the sign with Elmer's wood glue, but you could use screws as well for an even better hold.

For good measure, and because I knew I’d be putting the sign outside, I added a coat of Minwax Polycrylic clear sealer.

For the final touch, I added a store bought red bow (because I’m terrible at tying cute bows). 

I staked my sign directly into the ground, but you could also stake it into a flower pot leftover from Summer to add a bit of whimsy and height.
