Repurposed Cupboard Doors into Signs


My good friend Jan gave me some cupboard doors.  Within a couple of days I started changing them up.   I love making signs, I love cupboard doors, and FREE is pretty awesome too.  Thanks Jan!

all because two people fell in loveJan had already put primer on some of the doors.

all because two people fell in loveWhite on black is my favorite style.


Family Rules SignI made another “family rules” sign.  I made it very similar to my own Family Rules sign.  (which still hangs in my living room)

God's Top 10Each time I put one of these God’s Top 10 in the booth it sells, so I made another one.

100_9866This was my first attempt at using two colors of vinyl.

Chalkboard To Do ListThis cupboard door had not been painted, so I left it wood toned.


100_9967Oops! Things don’t always go as planned. I probably shouldn’t talk on the phone with Rose while I’m placing vinyl on a chalkboard.   (Just keeping it real folks)
I love my Silhouette!

I plan to take a good deal of signs to Glendale Crossing Days in October.  I just need to design a display piece for them.  Any ideas?

I love those signs...thanks for the inspiration! I guess the words were made using the Circuit?

Your signs just keep getting better. I like the sign with two colors of vinyl but LOVE the "to do list" sign. I'm sure it would be a big seller at a craft fair.

Can you take some tall shutters and make a box from them to hand the signs? You cold hinge the shuttes and use screen door hooks to fasten them into a square for display.

I love cupboard doors, too. I've used a couple myself. And, I agree - FREE is fabulous!

Gail said...

Great signs. Maybe just a two boards with a lip that the signs that set on...people like to pick things up and hold them.

Huge fan of reusing cupboard doors. So many uses. I know yours will sell!

Rose @ Confessions of a Curbshopaholic said...

Oops! didn't mean to distract you when you were making that sign! My favorite is the welcome sign with 2 colors of vinyl. That looks so cool!

Sharon @ Elizabeth & Co. said...

I love your signs Gail!

Michelle said...

Would you be willing to sell me one of your God's top 10 and Family Rules signs and ship to Iowa? I love your work!

Terri said...

Love them all, but my fave is the one using two different vinyls...never even thought of that!

I finally made something with my new Silhouette and vinyl, will be posting it soon on my blog. I have to say that I love using the clear contact paper as transfer paper, especially when reusing it so it isn't so sticky!

Beautiful signs!

Korrie@RedHenHome said...

You've been busy! Your signs look great!

Tara Jackson said...

Love the "To Do List" one. Very cool idea

Jan said...

I love to see your signs! Got my day off to a happy start!

Sharon said...

All your signs are adorable. I need to find me some doors. Great Job!

Sometimes my weeks feel like that! LOL

How I wish I had "free" cupboard doors to use my Silhouette on!

Great job as always!

Barbie said...

So, would you be willing to mail signs to me if I bought them from you? I really love that Welcome sign and would love to have one of those God's Top 10 signs, but I can't exactly come all the way to your booth to get them. If it's a possibility, could you send me an email at btumbry@gmail.com

Stephanie said...

These are the bomb! You are becoming such an expert with that vinyl! The only thing I can think of for your display of course is peg board. Lame I know...

Beth @ dot...in the city said...

What a great idea! This would be a great use of the cupboards (despite that they don't have as much character as yours...maybe some paint will add character?!)

Suzanne@Meridian Road said...

Well, sometimes Sunday does come a little early. :)
I really like the two toned vinyl~it's a good look!

Full Circle Creations said...

Love the signs. I use a wooden dislay piece that has shelves on it to display my signs. I'll see if I can find a picture and send to you, maybe it will give you some inspiration.
