Dollar Tree Windmill Welcome Sign
I created a Vertical “Welcome” Sign in October 2019 using a package of $3 wood letters found at Target One Spot. In March 2020, I repurposed the Vertical Welcome sign by using the backside of my sign to create a horizontal Welcome sign, featuring the popular Farmhouse Dollar Tree Windmill. Keep reading and watch the videos to learn how to make this double-sided Dollar Tree Windmill Welcome Sign!
Dollar Tree Windmill Craft
The metal windmill at Dollar Tree is popular because it can be used in various ways. Dollar Tree had the windmill in its Spring garden section if you are looking for it.
If you can’t find the metal windmill at Dollar Tree, you can check Hobby Lobby during Christmas (they carry a similar windmill Christmas ornament, which I had several years before Dollar Tree sold their windmill).
Entryway Update with the Dollar Tree Welcome Sign
We updated our entryway with an Ikea Shoe cabinet and I added the DIY Windmill Welcome Sign above the shelf. I think the Dollar Tree Welcome Sign completes the look of the space but I love that I can flip my sign over and use it vertical or horizontal!
Ikea Shoe Cabinet Hack
The Ikea Shoe Cabinet hack in our entryway update was really simple and affordable!
We added a (44.5″ x 9″) piece of unstained pine to the top and some leather Ikea drawer pulls to the front… it was seriously that easy!
Double-Sided Dollar Tree Windmill Welcome Sign
My Welcome Sign is double-sided, so I can use it vertically on one side and horizontal on the other side.
I made my sign using a $3 package of wood letter from Target One Spot during Fall 2019 and I first shared this DIY Welcome Sign video on my Instagram page.

DIY Dollar Tree Windmill Farmhouse Decor Wrap Up
I hope you enjoyed this DIY Welcome sign using Dollar Store products. This double-sided Welcome sign cost $4 to DIY using scrap wood. If you need to purchase the wood and paint, the cost will be more for you but still cheaper to DIY than purchasing in a store… plus you get 2 signs with one DIY! I love that I can use the vertical Welcome sign on our front porch or in our entryway inside.
