30+ Crative Ways To Display Your House Numbers

We usually think of house numbers as purely functional and utilitarian. You know, go to the hardware store, choose some plastic or metal numbers then nail them up on the front of your house so that people can find you. It’s a little boring, though, but it doesn’t have to be.

With some creativity and a few extra materials your house numbers can be a fun place to add a little bit of personality to your home. With some everyday items like paint, glue, screws and maybe a less common item such as an old door you can create a unique way of displaying both your house numbers and your individual style. Not including time for paint to dry, most of these projects can be completed in a few hours, so, have fun personalizing the display of your street address numbers.

DIY House Number Sign Using Square Dowels

This first project is made with square, wooden dowels, house numbers with a finish of your choice, and a little bit of wood stain in whatever color you like. The dowels will need to be affixed to a wooden back. A little bit of wood glue should keep the dowels in place. Once the glue is dried you can then stain the entire piece. For both the glue and stain, follow the directions on the packaging. Once you have completed the first few stages you can attach the numbers with the hardware provided in the packaging of the numbers that you purchased and attach the whole piece to the front of your house. The final result is an attractive, warm, and inviting display that will greet you every time you come home. via littlehouseoffour

Make This DIY Modern Address Plate For Less Than $30

This project is fairly similar to the previous one in the process but the results are a little sleeker and a few of the materials are slightly different. You’ll need a wood board like the first project but instead of wooden dowels, you’ll need thin wooden strips that you will glue in place and stain. Attach the metal numbers. For this project we chose a silver finish. Then, affix the entire piece to the front of your house or business. via thediyplaybook

DIY House Address Number Monogram

This is a fun and funky alternative to the boring old plastic numbers. You can take the first letter of your family name to individualize your address plate. You will need the street numbers, the letter of your choice, some nails, tape, glue, scissors and paint. Spray the letter down with primer and then spray paint the background color. Once the paint has dried for at least several hours, use tape to create the design. Then spray paint the entire piece in a color that contrasts your base color. After letting the second color of paint dry, you will be able to peel away the paint and see the design you have created. You can then glue the wooden numbers onto your letter background. via craftcuts

Industrial House Numbers Using Screws

For a unique and industrial look, skip the premade numbers altogether and create the numbers yourself using screws. Use a screwdriver to drill directly into your wooden siding, placing each screw as close together as possible. You will probably want to lay out the borders of your numbers before you start drilling holes. via ideas2live4

DIY House Number Sign Made From A Wood Slice

For a simple and woodsy look, you can use a mason jar as a flower jar. You will need a wood slice, hose clamp (available in the plumbing section of your local hardware store), a small strip of wood, a Mason or Ball jar, some screws, a screwdriver, a couple of small nails, a hammer, some flowers, and of course, your house numbers. Nail the hose clamp to the piece of wood that you have already nailed to the wood slice. Screw the Ball Jar into the hose clamp, place some flowers in the Ball Jar, and affix your house numbers and you will have a simple woodsy house number display. via diycandy
