Why I love this craft
I love craft projects like this because they are low cost, easy to make, and always turn out so cute. For this particular craft, it only cost me the price of a foam poster board because I had everything else on hand. It’s a win-win way to transition into a new season or holiday.
What types of signs are best to use?
The sign that I used for this project was a box frame, meaning I could easily cover up what was inside using a foam poster board. In the video, I also show a different type of sign I could refurbish but it would take a bit more time.
The inspiration for this craft:
Home decor like this DIY Reversible Reclaimed Wood Sign, inspires me to create things that can be reused or have multiple uses in one. This not only helps save money but also adds a unique touch to the overall decor piece.

Instructions
- Watch video. Follow the tutorial video to learn this awesome seasonal frame hack and use it to make a new-to-season sign.
- Measure sign. Use a ruler to measure the inside dimensions of your sign. Then transfer the measurements onto a foam poster board.
- Cut out the board. Use a pen blade or heavy duty razor to cut out the poster board. When in doubt, cut the board larger, rather than smaller.
- Do a second cut (if necessary). The board should fit just inside the sign (somewhat snug). If it's too big, trim off just a bit with a PenBlade.
- Cut out printable. Print and cut it out.
- Cover board with craft paper or your printable. If the sign is small, tape the printable to the board. Trim the edges, and secure in the back with double-sided tape. If the sign is large, cover the board in craft paper.
- Secure printable to board. Use a piece of double-sided tape to secure the printable to the board.
- Position board into sign. The board should pop right inside of the the sign. If you need to remove the board, use a PenBlade or paint can opener tool.
