Learn how to make a custom round wooden door hanger using your Cricut cutting machine and a round piece of wood.
My nephew got married this past fall. And although I wasn’t able to attend his wedding due to being in the middle of a pandemic, I did still want to make a gift for him and his lovely bride. So, I decided to make them a custom round wooden door hanger that I customized with their lasts name and established date.
I used Cricut Design Space to design the door hanger and my Cricut Maker to cut out the design (you can also use the vinyl as a stencil). The really nice thing about this project is that it can be customized to fit your needs. You can also use your Cricut Joy or Explore, or your favorite cutting machine.

Supplies Needed for Round Wooden Door Hanger
I used an 18″ round pine board that I purchased from The Home Depot. My round wood board measured 18″, but they come in a variety of sizes. So, be sure to pick the size you want for your project. I also used white latex paint and chalkboard paint. For the paint, you’ll want a couple of foam rollers and the paint tray comes in really handy, too. You’ll also need:
- permanent vinyl
- transfer tape

I used vinyl on this sign, but you can also use the vinyl as a stencil. If you want to use it as a stencil, you’ll also need paint (white paint) for your lettering. To paint a nice straight line with the chalkboard paint, you’ll want to use painter’s tape. Painter’s tape helps you to get those nice sharp straight edges.
And, of course, you need some way to hang your round wooden door hanger. I used two D-ring picture hangers and attached some contrast ribbon for hanging. And if you want to attach flowers and ribbon like I did, you’ll need some of that, too. I didn’t want the flowers to be permanently attached to the door hanger, so I wrapped a piece of ribbon around the center of the bouquet and affixed it to the wood with an upholstery tack.
