My daughter and son-in-law just purchased their first home, so I decided to make them a personalized last name door hanger to celebrate the occasion. The one I used is from Twin Knobs Woodworks and comes together super quick.  Let me show you how I painted and finished it below.

Next, grab the colors you are going to use to paint the door hanger.  I went with my favorite gel stain color plus a white and green colored paint from Dixie Belle Chalk Paint.

I wanted the green paint to go on more like a stain, so I used water wipes to apply it.  When “staining” with paint and water wipes, you’ll want to load a bit of paint onto the wipe and then rub it onto the surface.  This will give coverage similar to a stain with the wood grain showing through.

Then I used a makeup sponge to paint the last name and “Est. 2019” cutouts with the color Fluff.

Finally, I used Tobacco Road gel stain on the shiplap overlay.  To create a lighter finish, I used my spray bottle and a rag to thin out the stain as I applied it.
