HERE IS HOW TO MAKE A DIY WATERCOLOR HOME CAFE SIGN:
WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE MATERIALS TO MAKE THIS DIY WATERCOLOR HOME CAFE SIGN?
I got all my materials from Amazon! I took up watercolor painting back in 2020 and I can assure you that I am not any good however, I always love how watercolor looks and know that I’ll get better in time hehe I use cotton paper as it stops the paint bleed way better!
With watercolor painting, since it is water, the color often blooms so cotton paper stops that so you can better control your painting!
WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THIS DIY WATERCOLOR HOME CAFE SIGN?
Here is everything I used for this cute home cafe sign! To hang the sign, you can use a picture frame, tape or adhesive for the walls. I had a thin wooden dowel for a project that I never ended up doing and some twine so I used that and made a cute sign!
These are my materials I bought from Amazon! My original watercolor set is no longer available but this one is similar:
CAN I SUBSTITUTE ANY MATERIALS OUT?
Since I’m not an expert at watercolor painting, I really couldn’t be confident in any swaps for this! I also own an acrylic paint set so you can totally make this sign with different paint instead! The only thing with acrylic paint is that it takes a bit longer to dry so you’ll have to leave some time for it to dry, of course!
DOES THIS DIY LAST TO USE FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS?
Yes!! As long as you take care of your painting, it can take for years and years! You’ll want to make sure that you don’t get it wet or bend it in any way. Hanging anything hand-painted in a frame is the best way to preserve a painting!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PUT TOGETHER?
This took me a total of 3 hours however, I used thin painters tape for the striped lines and taping up my paper took longer than I thought it would. Aside from that, mixing colors to get to that perfect shade can also take some time and allowing it to dry!
I also had to hot glue the dowels and twine onto the painting before hanging but I’m sure this DIY can be under 3 hours!
INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS DIY?
When I bought my house, I knew I wanted to showcase a lot of DIY! I love creating and making things so this brought me so much joy to make! I love coffee so much and having a little cozy coffee and drink station is one of my favorite things. I usually hang something seasonal for Fall, Halloween and Christmas but I realized I didn’t have something all year round to hang in my coffee station so I decided to make a sign myself!
STEPS TO MAKE THIS DIY WATERCOLOR HOME CAFE SIGN:
Step 1: Tape up lines with thin painters tape
For this DIY, I wanted to do thin stripes so I bought thin painters tape from Amazon so it would be easier for me to paint lines! You can use a ruler to be precise but I just winged it! I didn’t care about the line spacing itself but just wanted the lines to be straight as I could get them.
Step 2: Mix the colors that you’d like and paint
Choose the color you’d like to paint the stripes. I wanted to keep a coffee/beige theme so I did light brown. Paint in between the painter tape and let dry for 15 mins!
Step 3: Remove tape, mix darker colors and paint your cafe wording and accent icons
Once the paint has dried a bit, you can remove the tape. Next, mix a darker color than the background and paint your cafe wording. I used a pencil first to trace it out as I’m not super confident in free-handing anything but you can do either! I chose Cafe Mejia as it’s my last name in kind of a cursive kind of not writing haha and write a latte and some coffee beans!
Step 4: Hang and enjoy!
Hang the painting however you choose and enjoy!
