Door hangers are having an absolute moment…and I’m here for it! I’ve always been a fan of a good DIY door hanger. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, let me introduce what a door hanger is, why they are so fun, and show you 8 door hanger designs to try.

If you’re looking for a creative and easy way to spruce up your front door, then look no further than a DIY Door Hanger.

They are fun to paint for yourself or to gather a group of friends and host a paint party!

What is a Door Hanger?

A door hanger is just what it sounds like – a piece that hangs on your door!

Typically they hang right on the front door, so they can be easily switched out without any damage to your door. They range from super simple to intricate and gorgeous, and you can hang them on their own or even add them to a wreath.

Door hangers are particularly popular in the south, but they are now showing up all over the United States and Canada. They are whimsical, fun, and add a pop of color to the front of your house.

They are durable too – the wood and acrylic are usually tucked under a cover porch, but a thin layer of spray polyurethane would be good to add.

A DIY door hanger is a fun way to add a bit of personality, or just a touch of cuteness, to your front door! They are probably one of the easiest ways you can decorate for fall or winter – simply switch it up when the seasons change!
