I felt like I hit the jackpot the day I went into Dollar Tree and saw the wooden bead handle frames on the shelf I grabbed 4 of them, two white frames and two natural frames.
For my craft today I am showing you how to make a cute HOME sign. This is adorable no matter what style of home you have.
I removed the back from the sign. Just bending back the little metal tabs is all it took to pop out the sign.
You could sand off the wording, I am pulling the first layer of the paper off and sanding it smooth.
Taking some Waverly chalk paint in plaster and giving the front, sides and back two coats of paint.
I am using my Cricut to print off the letters HOME to place on my backing.
I centered my design on the sign’s backing, rubbed with my Cricut tool and peeled off the transfer paper.
Placed the sign’s backing into the frame.
Here’s how it turned out.
The only part of the sign I do not like is how flimsy the bead handle is. I removed the staples holding the handle. I took a piece of heavy wire and thread it through the beads with the twine and stapled the handle back onto the frame.
Threaded the wire into the beads, cutting the excess wire off, adding the end of the wire into the end of the twine adding a drop of hot glue to keep it together.
Stapled the handle back onto the sign.
The handle is sturdy and didn’t fall over.
Worked perfectly. I can’t take credit for this creation, I saw this sign on Pinterest and thought it was adorable.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Great project! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
you are so welcome Ann, thanks for the invite. Happy Tuesday!
Terrie, I need to make one of these signs!!! I have a Cricut and it is LANGUISHING in the closet… Seriously though, very cute, fast and easy project and I like how you made the bead handle a lot stiffer. Shared to FB for you. <3 (and I always pin!)
Keep warm and Happy Valentine's Day,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Cute idea….I love the Dollar store for inspiration!
I do too Patti. They are really stepping up their items. Thank you, so fun to work with you.
Cute sign, Terrie, and I love what you did with the beads. That’s so much better!
Thanks Ann. It needed something, so happy that the wire worked. Always fun working with you.
Great tutorial Terrie. Of course you would come up with a way to make the beaded handle on the frame better. Your mind always comes up with creative fixes.
Cindy
You know me Cindy. Thanks girl.
I loved this craft! I have a question about the two tiered tray that you made. What size rolling pin did you use. I have one from the Dollar Tree. I don’t think it is long enough because when I cut the 8″ off it doesn’t leave much for the top piece. Also did you cut the ends off? It seems thicker than the one you used. Help!! Thanks I enjoy watching you. And you don’t talk too much. lol
Iris it was a couple years ago when I purchased the items to make the double tray at Dollar Tree. Since then the store probably changed things ( made cheaper). I only cut the rolling pin once. I wonder if you can use two rolling pind and cut to fit.
I am so happy you are enjoying my crafts.
Terrie I love this. What a great way to update a sign – and super cute! Thanks for sharing.
I have been waiting these signs I have been seeing people share. So excited I was able to pick up a few. Now what to do with the other two. ha!
