I have a fun DIY project for you today! When we bought our house it didn’t have any house numbers. After living here for some time when I would have deliveries arrive or trying to sell something on Facebook Marketplace so many people would be confused it was the right house or not. This simple DIY project is a quick way to add curb appeal to your home.  Made from an inexpensive cedar fence picket and house numbers, all you will also need is a saw, hammer and some nails to build! 

SHOPPING LIST

1 Cedar Fence picket, 5-1/2″ wide x 72″ long (can be dog eared)

6″ House numbers

Screws for attaching to an exterior wall (fastener type will depend on your siding/wall type)

Wood Glue

1 1/4 inch Finishing nails

Stain (Color of your choice)

Foam Brush

Soil and plants (of course!)

Or fake plants!

Tools

Circular Saw (This is the one we used)

5 Inch Silver House Numbers

Sawtooth Picture Hanger

INSTRUCTIONS
