DIY Gnome Sweet Gnome Front Door Shadow Box with FREE Printables

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July or summer then with Gnomes! I love Gnomes so I decided to make a fun, quirky and cool DIY Gnome Sweet Gnome Front Door Shadow Box with FREE Printables. You can print off a 4th of July theme or summer theme mini banner and sign for your shadow box. Change out your chalkboard message to suit your mood. Great for your 4th of July celebrations, birthday parties, backyard parties or just to say welcome to your visitors. Enjoy!

NOTE: I have a storm door on my front door, so my Gnome Sweet Gnome Front Door Shadow Box is protected from the elements. If you don’t have a storm door on your front door then you might not want to leave your shadow box out all the time. It is not weather proof.

What you will need:

Instructions:

1. Spray paint your box. 2 coats. Let dry all the way.

5. Tape a toothpick to the back of the signs. I used a wooden bead to be the sign base and hold the sign up.

7. Using blue painter’s tape, but you could also use hot glue, tape or glue down your Gnomes into each corner. Tape or glue your wooden bead sign holder down. Add the sign. Then add easter basket grass around the bottom. I did place some painters tape here and there under the grass to keep it in place. Don’t forget to write your Gnome message on your sign using chalk.
