address plaque diy

05.23.14

Do you have a mundane address marker like this at your place?  Small metal numbers hidden behind a tree and not visible at all?  What if you’re needing 911 or worse of all a pizza delivery and they can’t find your home?  I can help with this super easy address plaque diy.

Quite obscure huh?  Heaven forbid an ambulance or police wouldn’t be able to find you.


Here’s this easy address plaque that’s eye-catching and actually looks more appealing than simple metal numbers tacked on to the house.  Remember my recent post on the cabinet door diy‘s?  Well, that’s what I used to make this project, the last remaining cabinet door I found at the Habitat ReStore.

What you’ll need:

  • old cabinet door
  • numbers (found these @ HobbyLobby 40% off)
  • scrapbook paper (*Note- I was able to use paper because this plaque will be hidden from the elements.  If your plaque will be exposed, paint part of it in a coordinating color using an acrylic paint)
  • modpodge, foam brush, liquid nail adhesive, small tack nails, hangers
  • antique medium
  • acrylic paint
  • clear sealant

If you want to paint the board a different color, do that first and dry completely, before moving on to the next steps!

Cut even width strips of coordinating paper, adhere with modpodge and place wherever you want.  Allow to dry and then apply a second coat and dry completely.  Sand and paint your numbers with acrylic paint.  While those are drying, you can spray or apply the sealant to entire board.  Attach the numbers with liquid nail adhesive, once the board is dry.  When numbers are glued down you can tack in place with small nails for extra measure.  Rub antique medium in random places with a small rag or sponge and allow to dry.  Attach the hangers on back and hang!

Highly visible now, it looks more appealing, and makes for a more prominent entry, don’t you think?

Last task for our entry is to find the perfect light fixture and then it will be complete.

Pizza delivery for Friday movie night? Home boy should be able to find our place- right?

Happy weekend~

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!
