I absolutely love farmhouse signs and when one does double duty, like this reversible sign, I love it even more! Today several of us from the Power Tool Challenge group are sharing DIY ideas for wood signs.

How To Make A Two Sided Sign

This  DIY sign idea is perfect when storage is an issue or if you’re a minimalist. Day to day you can use the side that says Gather, in any room for any season. When the Christmas holiday rolls around, just flip it:

What you Need to DIY a Double Sided Sign

• 1″ x 10″ or 1″ x 12″ Common Board – you can use scrap wood
• lattice strip – for trim
• Saw – I used my table saw.
• Tape Measure
• Pencil
• Wood Glue
• Nail/Staple Gun
• Paint or Stain

Decide what size sign you want, mine is 20″. Using tape measure and pencil mark your 1″ board. Cut the board on your mark. You can use a table saw or miter saw

Cut the lattice strips. I used the lattice strips to trim out the common board. I measured the ends first and attached them, now measure the length, which includes the end pieces. To attach the strips, I added wood glue to the strip before nailing. Stack a  1/2″ board as shown in step four in the photo below to gage the alignment of the trim. (See photo below)

Paint or stain the board. I used chalk board paint for mine. The lattice strips were primed, I just let them white.

How To Add Graphics to a Two Sided Sign

You will need the following:

• Transfer or Stencils – I used Chalk Couture silk screen transfers: Gather and Merry Christmas
• paint or Chalk Paste

Apply the transfer to the area on the sign. Use a squeegee and chalk paste to create the design.

I did a live video showing the Gather application, see how easy it is:

Now  you can make your own reversible farmhouse sign that can take up residence in any room. Use any color of paint or phrase that fits your style.
