Whether you’re an avid crafter or a beginner painter, the tips and techniques in this guide will be perfect for you. Let’s dive into some of what you can expect to learn from it.

Type of Wood to Use

First things first, when it comes to cutting and painting door hangers, is the type of wood to use. The type of wood you use makes all the difference in the quality of your door hanger. When I was starting out, telling someone the type of wood you used would be such a taboo topic. However, I want to act as the resource for you that I didn’t have when starting out. In my Beginner’s Guide to Door Hangers ebook, I tell you the exact type of wood I use and where to find it. I even link it for easy access!

Template Overview

If you’re a beginner to painting door hangers you may or may not know that you have two options when it comes to blank door hangers. You can either order a blank door hanger from my shop that’s ready to paint or you can use a template to cut a blank door hanger yourself from wood. In my Beginner’s Guide to Door Hangers ebook, I give the rundown on how to use a printable template, how to cut and sand your door hanger, and how to trace the template on your blank door hanger.

Which Supplies To Buy

When you’re just starting to paint door hangers, you might be unsure of which type of paint is best and which supplies you should use.

I also wrote this guide to include which type of protective finish I use when I am done painting my door hangers. You spend a lot of time perfecting your door hangers so choosing a proper protective finish is so important!
