Make these small eye catching wood no soliciting signs that easily hang on windows or doors. They’re small but noticeable and effective. All that’s needed is small wood slats you can buy ready made or cut yourself, our free printables below and some metal screw eye rings (like we used for our DIY Necklace) and suction cups. If you have a metal door you can glue magnets on the back! Paint them any color. They make great housewarming gifts!

Four Styles No Soliciting Printables (pdf)
Instructions
I found a pair of 12″ x 1.5″ slats at the local craft store.
Measure the paper on your slat.
Cut off the excess.
Sand the end.
Hand or spray paint your wood.
For inserting eyelets measure approximately 1″ on each end and mark.
Drilling a tiny hole is optional but helps the insertion of the metal screw eyes.
Coat your board with Mod Podge.
Apply your graphic.
Attach the metal screw eye rings.
IMPORTANT: You must apply some sort of spray fixative such as clear spray paint to keep the ink letters from smearing when you use Mod Podge.
After the clear spray dries, apply a coat of Mod Podge.
If you will be hanging the sign on a metal door you can glue on strong magnets. Command strips will also hold it in place on any type of door.
Attach your tiny suction cups to hang your sign facing outward on windows.
This is a magnetic sign on our metal front door.

Do you have any other free printable sayings?
Thanks so much! I’m so over it and need a sign! =)
Thanks for providing the printable. Yours are way cuter than the standard ones sold at Home Depot. I really really need one, we live in a town home and we get bothered often…must be seen as one-stop-sales by door to door salesmen. Anyways, I wouldn’t mind hanging up something cute like this!
ugh, i need this. god forbid i have my front door open to enjoy the sunshine or let my cats sit at the door.

These are a nice smart way to politely say no thanks. Do door to door sales people take notice of them where you live? Here I find they help but some people still knock the door and then look surprised when I point to our sign (which is just a tatty sticker and may well get a makeover now I’ve seen your smart ones!)
I LOVE these! Even out in the country we get random solicitors. It is so annoying. These signs are stylish and say everything they need to say.
I may want to add “dog on property” too. Stopping by from SITS xoxo!
Thanks so much Tammi. That’s a good idea actually. I’ll add that to my list of ideas for my ‘pet’ area!
