I have trouble finding a cute number plague for my new home after I moved in. I feel that the ones in Home Depot are too generic and lack personality. And almost every other house has the same one. And the price can range anywhere between $10-20 for a single digit number. What if my house number is in 4-digits? I'll be spending close to a hundred for just a house number! But thank God, I don't!
All this to say, there would never be a "perfect" number sign that matches exactly to what I wanted out there. So, making my own seems to be the way to go. At least, I could "perfect" it to how I wanted and control how much I really want to spend on it. And in the end, I would pretty much have something that truly fits my home decor and reflects myself as the home owner. *proud*
Here is what you'll need if you are on the same boat as me.

I love how the house number turned out! And just I love how a subtle change can make a big impact to a home. I can also easily change the faux flower depending on the season and occasion. For example, during Christmas time, I could change to evergreen leaves with berries; For Thanksgiving, I could substitute with orange leaves and wheats. I have so many options to dress up my house number with this simple project!
Happy DIYing!
