The first design we introduce is a handmade welcome sign with a lot of resort vibes ♩

While many welcome signs feature a natural design that utilizes the wood grain, this one is painted with two shades of blue.

Additionally, seashells and starfish are glued on, giving it a sea and surf-like feel with a West Coast vibe ◎

The random variation in the lengths, thicknesses, and shapes of the boards is also a stylish point to mimic.

A point of this welcome sign is that the second board from the top is heart-shaped ♡ The dotted "LOVE" text is very stylish.

The stick holding the boards together is not made from squared lumber but instead uses a single branch. While it can be tricky to fix it with nails and screws compared to lumber, it results in a higher quality finish ♩

This is a large and tall welcome sign made from as many as ten boards. It gives off a stylish vibe reminiscent of a corner on an American street.

Although the colors of the boards and the fonts on the text are different, the overall look is cohesive, showcasing great taste! The bright red heart and the date on the top board act as eye-catching accents.

With such a big welcome sign, it could easily serve as a fabulous photo booth ♡
