Gnome Welcome Porch Sign DIY with Ikonart Stencils

Hi Friends!  I’m back to share how to make a Gnome Welcome Porch Sign.

My creative juices are not just flowing again since I got the Ikonart Stencil maker – they’re gushing! Ha!!

It’s been over a year since I made these porch signs, which I sold locally, except the sunflower and bees one which I gave to my mom.

This time I bought 3 gnome images on Etsy HERE to make a stencil using my Ikonart Stencil Maker.  Get 15% off with code KNICKOFTIME.

Since I was making a vertical porch sign, it required much larger stencil film than the usual 10″ x 12″.

No problem!  It’s also available in 12″ x 18″.

Here’s how to make it:

Purchase a 10-ft common pine board  and have a store employee cut it in half so you can make two 5-ft signs.

Sand any rough areas out.  I use 220 grit sandpaper for the smoothest finish.

Stain or paint the board.

I prefer staining wood over painting it.

Using old socks and shirts is a great way to apply wood stain.

The sock is for the initial application and the shirt is to wipe off the excess.

Let dry for at least 3 or 4 hours.

After that, I printed one of the gnome images on Transparency Film.

This design is free for you to use!

Next I created a silkscreen stencil and determined the placement on the board.

The Welcome letters were from Chalk Couture and are no longer available, but I found 3o other options that are wonderful for under $3 HERE.

So here’s how it turned out!  Cute, huh?

I’m really not into gnomes, but I thought the 3 designs were extra cute so I just had to use one.  I may use the other 2 designs to make more porch signs or a smaller sign since the gnomes can be made smaller than what I used on this porch sign.
