DIY House Number Sign: Rustic Wood Slice Edition

We have a family friend who owns a tree cutting business. Last year he asked if I would like some real wood slices for any projects. I said yes, and then headed over to his house before he gave them away!

There are so many things you can do with wood slices, and Amy has several projects. Check out her wood burned plaque, tree branch coasters, and farmhouse Thanksgiving sign.

At my house, these wood slices have been centerpieces, table decor and studio signs. Our condo really needed a house number sign, so guess what came in handy? I’m excited to show you what I did.

You can create this DIY house number plaque on a budget and with ease. It looks great displayed with different flowers of the season hanging in the mason jar. It’s perfect for your rustic or farmhouse themed decor!

Notes

If you have paint, you can draw some freehand numbers on the plaque with a pencil and then paint them in so you don’t to buy the vinyl letters. We just happened to have them on hand.
