Welcome your guests with this DIY welcome sign

Hand-lettered welcome sign for an inviting hallway

A successful party doesn’t start with the first glass of champagne, but with a warm welcome on your doorstep. Of course, it’s best to welcome guests personally, but it’s also a nice idea to make your own hand-lettered welcome sign to make your hallway especially inviting. With edding’s fibre pens, you have exactly the right tools at your fingertips to create a welcome sign. The edding 1300 is available in 40 different shades – and when paired with the fine-tipped edding 1800, you can use it to create wonderful artwork with ease. We’ve opted for a simple black-and-white design with a touch of elegance.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Decide on the layout out of your sign and carefully sketch out your design with a pencil – or use our template. Go over the words and motifs and colour them in with the edding 1300 colour pen for a simple, calligraphy-inspired look.

Step 2

Add decorative features and small motifs using the edding 1800 profipen. Frames and other decorative elements will give your sign a unique twist and a dash of pizazz to make it look perfect.

Step 3

Next, mount your stylish welcome sign – on an easel, for instance – and decorate it with vines and flowers as desired. Your sign is now finished. Place it in the entrance to your home!
