Having old cabinet doors on hand may sound silly, but these treasures have become some of my favorite canvases for sign and other DIY home decor projects. Today I’m going to show you how to apply a simple stencil to a painted cabinet door and use it for a pretty wall or door hanging for your home. Let’s get started with the materials you’ll need for your upcycled cabinet door DIY!

Upcycled Cabinet Door Craft Supplies:
- Cabinet Door – I used one with a recessed center to create a “framed” look.
- Buttercream or Fluff Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint
- Tobacco Road VooDoo Gel Stain
- Sand Paper or Hand Sander
- Houndstooth Pattern Transfer from Chalk Couture
- Fuzzing Cloth
- Fresh Linen Chalkology Paste
- Squeegee
- Command Hooks
- 14″ Boxwood Wreath
Upcycled Cabinet Door Craft Tutorial:
- Start by prepping your cabinet door for the transfer by painting it with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in either Buttercream or Fluff. This base layer does not need to be perfect!
- Next, use your hand sander or sandpaper to remove some of the paint from the edges and around the details of the cabinet door.
- Once your piece is sanded, add a layer of the Tobacco Road Voodoo Gel to the areas you revealed when sanding. Be sure to wipe off any excess Gel Stain from your piece. Let dry.
- Now you are ready to add your Houndstooth Pattern Transfer from Chalk Couture. PRO Tip: Before you apply your transfer, be sure to use the Fuzzing Cloth to remove some of the stickiness.
- Apply your Houndstooth Pattern Transfer to your cabinet door and use your squeegee to apply your Chalkology Paste in the color Fresh Linen. Wipe back any excess paste and remove your transfer. PRO TIP: When using large transfer, work in sections when applying paste.
- Finally, let your piece dry and add a wreath using some ribbon or a command hook. THIS wreath is very similar to the one I used in the tutorial.
