Guess what time it is, friends?  It’s time for another fabulous #DIHWorkshop project!  Yahooooo! With the holidays just around the corner — let the decorating begin.  Sooo, today I’m sharing the tutorial for this Rustic Santa Door Hanger, a great Christmas door decoration (inside or outside).

Add this Rustic Santa Door Hanger to your holiday decor -- it's simple to make and such a fun addition to your home or front door! livelaughrowe.comRustic Santa Door Hanger

Supplies for Christmas Door Decoration:
1 – 1x6x8 Tongue and Groove Pattern Stock Board
1 – 1x2x4 Common or Pine Board
One Pack #10 Stainless Screw Eyes
1 – 1/4″ x 50′ Manila Rope
Wood Glue
Drop Cloth
Minwax Stain in Provincial
Behr Marquee Sample in Sweet Coconut Milk
Sand Paper or Sand Paper Block
Staple Gun
Knob for Nose

Step by step instructions on how to build this fabulous Rustic Santa Door Hanger. Add him to your home or as a Christmas Door Decoration. livelaughrowe.comOne:  Measure, Mark and Cut.

Measure and mark two 25″ sections from the Tongue and Groove Pattern Stock Board and one 16″ piece from the common (or pine) board.

Two:  Sand and Wipe.

Give each piece a good sanding to avoid any rough edges.  Wipe down with a damp cloth.

Three:  Assemble the Base.

Lay the two 25″ sections of your tongue and groove board sided by side and run a bead of glue in the grooves.  Be sure to secure the boards to keep them level across the top and bottom.

Four:  Stain.

Using rags or a brush, apply stain to the two 25″ sections and the one 16″ piece.  Allow to dry.

Step by step instructions on how to build this fabulous Rustic Santa Door Hanger. Add him to your home or as a Christmas Door Decoration. livelaughrowe.comFive:  Paint Hat.

Mark approximately where you’ll place the 16″ piece of board for the hat brim.  Fill above that with paint color of choice. Allow to dry and sand.

Six and Seven:  Cut and Attach Drop Cloth

Cut LOTS and LOTS of strips using rotary cutter for beard.  Attach by placing the drop cloth strips facing towards the top of the hat, using a staple gun.

After attaching the strips, you’ll fold the strips back over the staple towards the bottom (so that the staples won’t show).  Continue to do this until the beard is full.

Eight:  Finishing Touches

-Add the hat brim with glue gun and a couple of nails (through the back of the sign).
-Add knob for nose.
-Attach eye hooks using drill.  Pre-drill two holes 2″ in from each side.

Add rope and hang!  You’re officially done — and it looks pretty fabulous, right?

    How wide did you cut your beard strips? I love the shape of the nose, what section did you find it in?
