Create your own colorful door sign with Window Color
Are you ready to let your creativity run wild and give your home a personal touch? With a self-designed door sign, you greet your guests before they even open the door. Whether you want to use it for the entrance or as a unique decoration indoors, a handmade door sign is sure to catch everyone's attention. In this guide, I will show you how to create a vibrant and eye-catching door sign using VBS Window Fantasy colors.


Step 1: Print and Prepare the Template
To get started, print the template for the door sign. The recommended size is 14 x 20 cm. If you prefer a different size, simply adjust the template on your computer or copier to your liking.

Place the template in a sheet protector or on a glass plate and gently secure it with tape to ensure it doesn't shift while painting.


Step 2: Outline the Design
Start by tracing the outlines of the template. Hold the tip of the bottle about half a centimeter above the surface to create fine, even lines. For curved words like \"Home\" and \"Sweet,\" draw the outlines slightly outside of the letters to leave enough space between the letters.

If you're unsure about the outlines, test them first on a separate sheet. This way, you can avoid damaging the actual design.

Step 3: Color the Door Sign
Now, fill in the outlined areas with the colorful Window Color paints. Start from the outside at the outlines and work your way in. If any air bubbles form, you can gently pop them with a toothpick. Use the toothpick to also distribute the colors evenly by making circular motions.

Once all the colored areas are filled, it's time to add the clear color. You will add this to the remaining spaces. Let the door sign dry until the colors appear transparent.

Finishing Up
Carefully remove the dry door sign from the film and place it in your desired location. The colors ensure that the sign will adhere without any additional fastening materials.
