My kiddos love to make things for their room and they especially love making things to hang on their doors… drawings, paintings, crafts etc. I think it gives them a sense of pride. They had never made a personalized door hanger though. You’ve probably seen those cute wooden kids door signs that have a child’s name on them. Those name plaques are very cute but can be pretty pricey. And let’s face it, the kids don’t care about the prices of things! So we decided to raid our craft tub and make our own personalized bedroom door signs with supplies we had on hand. My kids had a blast and now have “name door signs” as they call them!
DIY Bedroom Door Sign Craft Tutorial For Kids
You just need a few basic supplies for these children’s bedroom door signs. They are super easy to make and they are great for a girls room or a boys room.
Craft Supplies Needed For Childrens Bedroom Door Signs:
- Foam Sheet (Cardstock, Posterboard, or a lightweight precut wood strip would work as well)
- Scissors
- Glue Stick or double sided tape (if using wood, you will need wood glue)
- Cord/String
- Beads
How To Make Personalized Door Signs:
Start with your foam sheet and cut out a rectangle. It can be small or large…whatever size your child wants for their personalized door signs. After you have your rectangle, it’s time for the beads but before my kids started gluing, I wrote out their names so that they could easily know where to place the beads.
My daughter grabbed a dot marker and added some dots to hers before the bead gluing started. It is always fun to see what unique designs they come up with.
My kids mixed and matched beads and just made it their own. Feel free to work with whatever type of beads you have! Let their creativity run wild! Isn’t that the best?! They swiped their beads on the glue stick before placing them on the DIY door name signs.
Once the beads are all on and their name is now all beads, it’s a great time to consider the mounting options for your name door sign.
You could tape it directly to door to have a more similar appearance to a wooden name plaque. Or you can tape on the cord for the personalized door hanger look.
Once that’s done, you can use command hooks and or tape to hang the kids room signs.
Personalized Bedroom Door Signs Conclusion
Personalized bedroom signs can make kids feel extra special by giving them a unique space they can truly call their own. Here are some great reasons to make them:
- Boosts Sense of Belonging: Having their name on a sign emphasizes their place within the family and gives them a designated space that’s just for them.
- Encourages Creativity and Expression: Kids can be involved in designing their sign, which lets them express their personality and preferences, whether through colors, themes, or favorite characters.
- Fosters Responsibility: A sign can serve as a subtle way of showing kids that their room is their personal area, encouraging them to take ownership and maybe even keep it tidy.
- Fun Decor Element: Signs add a fun, decorative touch to their room, making it feel more inviting and helping it match their style as they grow.
- Great for Siblings: If siblings share a room, individual signs can help each child feel they have their own designated area or side of the room.
This is a great quick and easy craft to add a little personalization to your child’s bedroom door! My children love their room door signs. Does your child enjoy making name crafts for his/her room?
