Make your own door signs

Personalizing our room is a rewarding activity that well done gives us beautiful and interesting results. The best place to start the changes and put our ideas into practice is the door. Without a doubt, the door is one of the most visible elements in any room in our home. Many people like to decorate them with different designs, one of the most interesting and that leaves a clear message are the posters, either with a phrase that identifies you or with your name personalizing the room.

Designing a poster for your door is a fun activity, you just need creativity and some materials. At Brycus you can find everything you need. Let's get to work and see what Brycus' top tips are for making your own door posters.

The first step is to have a board, it is important that before we have taken the measurements of the space we want the poster to occupy on the door. It is advisable to adjust the measures to a suitable size, it should not be too big, nor too small, the most suitable thing is that it is proportional to the size of the door. The color of the board must be adapted to the colors of the door, trying to fit it visually. In addition to the board, we also need white glue and a little bit of varnish. Finally, we must have the poster or sign printed. Note that the sign must be printed with the letters in reverse. The design and color of the letters is up to you, you can find hundreds of different designs, plus many colors.

The next step is to mix the water and glue. The amount to mix will depend on the size of the sign, you should always have a little more water than glue, enough to get a liquid mixture, not too dense and easy to use.

Then we apply the mixture over the letters, verifying that we cover each one of them. The better we distribute the mixture, the better it sets and therefore the better the quality. Immediately we stick the letters on the board, checking that each letter has been stuck well, this is not a waste of time, because it can happen, for example, that a little air that remains between the board and the letters generates the unwanted bubbles in the paper that spoil the final result.

The process that follows is very simple. We moisten the paper using a damp towel or a similar accessory. With the towel we rub the paper gently until we get to see the letters on the board. You must be careful not to damage the letters.

We already have the letters visible, so we are very close to achieving our goal. In order to have a better finished result we must give it a coat of varnish. The varnish is a step that defines in many aspects, not only in the visual appearance, also comes very well in the care of the poster.

We already have our sign ready, all that remains is to place it on the door. The location of the poster on the door is not a subject that you should underestimate. The best place is between your eyes and your chest, visually it is very nice. It is recommended to fix it with double-sided adhesive tape, because of its characteristics it ensures that the poster is well fixed to the door and does not leave any marks or mess.

We have concluded, we have our poster for the door, we have designed it to our measure and taste. Now we can repeat the process for other doors in the house, and with the experience we can add figures or printed images in addition to letters. You can challenge yourself and your imagination to get very creative and innovative models, which give life to each door of your home.
