DIY Beach Signs Made from Recycled Wood

Ready for the beach? These inspirational DIY beach signs will help you find the way! All you need to make a beach sign is a piece of wood and paint. So lets get started!

diy beach sign
Beach signs are fun reminders of the place we all love so much. This Beach Sign is made from a worn-out sign that had washed up on the shore which gives it that extra beachy feel.

beach sign outside
How cute does this beach sign look, attached on an outside wall. It's the perfect location. Looks like the beach is only a few steps away. Seen on Houzz. A painted beach sign can add a great pop of color anywhere. On a porch, by an entry, and anywhere inside.

wood beach sign
Got an old crate? Tear a piece from it to make a wood Sign. The wood was white washes with paint, and beach was written on it freestyle with pencil, followed by painting over the pencil with white acrylic paint. The rustic recycled wood sign sits on a ledge in the bathroom. I like this natural look too.

recycled wood signs painted
This Wall Hanging is a cool idea too. It was inspired by a pile of old wood laying outside from a project. It displays the names of nearby beaches and towns.

Make a Wood Beach Sign
I think I like the arrows the best. They give you the feel that the beach is just around the corner. That's where I want it to be! Dream big, right? After a quick coat of color was applied, the beach letters were painted on with the help of letter printouts from the computer. You can see how a transfer is done here: How to Make a Wood Sign.

small wood beach sign
This beach sign is actually rather small. It's made with wood paint sticks! Head over to Craft Goodies for all the details.

old wood board sign
For this Beach Sign words were cut out with a cricut machine, using scrapbook paper, then they were decoupaged to a painted board. I don't know anything about cricut machines, but I like the idea of decoupaging letters onto the wood sign for two reasons, you can easily play around with the layout and sea how it actually looks, plus it adds a bit of dimension to the sign.

beach signs made with fencing
Can you guess what these Beach Signs are made from? Fencing found on bulk trash in the neighborhood. Very cool. You might want to keep your eyes peeled when walking around your neighborhood!

I love these. Especially the signs that point in every direction to the BEACH! That's MY kind of place!

I love all of these! The signs with the names of all the nearby beaches is a great idea. I'm tempted to try it since we have so many little islands all up and down the Carolina coast.

I just love beach signs! I have a couple in my son's nautical room but I would like to add a couple more around the house...even though we don't live at the beach! Have a great week!
