Make a home sign with wreath in just minutes with a Cricut machine and some scrap wood. A wreath home sign is a great way to spruce up your outdoor space any time of the year. Exchange the wreath for different seasons and you can even add things that are not a wreath if you wish. So, are you ready to make your own? Follow along below!
This is a part of patriotic Craft Lightning this week. You will want to catch up with all of the crafts here if you have missed any of the fun this week.
Supplies Needed to Make a DIY Home Sign with a Wreath:
- Scrap wood
- Saw
- Nails
- Outdoor paint
- Outdoor vinyl (this is the type I used)
- Cricut Machine (see which I use here)
- Cut file (click here for access)
- Transfer tape
- Weeding tools (optional)
- Hook
- Wreaths or other interchangeable seasonal decorations
How to Make Your DIY Home Sign:
- Start by making the sign itself. I am using scrap wood so I used two long boards along with two shorter for the cross pieces. These can be any size you wish and any type of wood.
- Nail sign together.
- Then paint the entire thing with a few coats of a good quality outdoor paint. Be sure to allow to dry in between coats. You will also want everything to be dry before adding the vinyl
- Use this cut file and resize to fit your sign. You will also want to change the name and year established
- Then cut the pieces from outdoor vinyl.
- Weed away all excess.
- Then use transfer tape to add the pieces to your sign.
- Screw the hook into the place where the “O” would be located.
- Hang on the wreath or any other seasonal decor of your choice and your home sign with wreath is complete!
I put a patriotic spin on my wreath home sign for this week. But there are so many options when it comes to a sign like this. I thought I would share just a few of those.

Update Your Home Sign with an Interchangable Seasonal Wreath
Patriotic Wreath for Summer
So, I started with a small patriotic wreath as my “O”. All of my seasonal decorations came from Hobby Lobby in case you want the same ones.
Simple Farmhouse Style Wreath for All Seasons
For a non-seasonal look, you can add a plain wreath like this one below or even a boxwood wreath.
I must say that this is my favorite look personally but I had even more ideas.
Unique Non-Wreath Decorations for Your Home Sign
Do you know those small metal things that are in the garden section? Use those instead of a wreath!
This small butterfly would be great all spring and summer. You could even use a flamingo SVG to make a vinyl piece for the O for summer.
You can also look in the wood decor area.
Here I picked up a small football that would be perfect for fall. The point is that with this sign, the possibilities are endless! So, be sure to make your own wreath home sign soon!

Fantastic site.Thank you
Love the home sign. I am going to make one this week and use my cricut. Love, love, love your tutorials, very easy to understand. Thank you!
When I click on the cut file for the HOME project it loads the file to my Cricut design space. How do I edit the name and date? Thanks!
You should be able to click the name and date and edit from there.
The only thing I can edit is delete it. It won’t allow any text changes. But that’s ok. I can come up with something on my own. I just like the font. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the same font? Thanks!
You are right! Just use Babette font and then move the letters close together and weld them before cutting.
Alice,
Did you find a font closest to Babette font? I love it too
Thanks,
Since I do not own a Cricut but different machine I cannot open the file. Could you tell how big the letters are. Might be able to create something. Thank you
The sizing will depend on how large your sign is?
Great idea but I do not own a Cricut but a different electronic cutting machine. Would like to know how big the letters to create .
I would just size them to your board as each one will be different.
Would this be a project I could use iron-on vinyl to make? And if so, do I need to do a poly-urethane coat over my stain before or after I iron the vinyl on?
Yes you can. I usually do a stain then an HTV that presses at a low temp for a short time.
What font did you use for the name
