Turn Fence Pickets Into $100 Porch Signs | Easy Laser Craft Tutorial
Ready to make a statement AND a profit? In this tutorial, Kim & Garrett from Kim and Garrett Make It show you how to design, laser cut, paint, and assemble a 4-foot porch leaner sign perfect for craft shows or your own front porch.
We’ll walk you through every step — from using inexpensive fence pickets and MDF as a base to cutting with a large format CO₂ laser, applying Foxy Hues outdoor paints for weather resistance, and adding eye-catching details like wood-grain textures and glow-in-the-dark accents.
Porch leaners are one of our favorite high-profit craft show projects because they’re affordable to make (about $15 in materials) and sell for $70–$100 each. Whether you’re creating a Halloween skeleton sign, a fall welcome leaner, or a Christmas Nutcracker porch sign, these projects get noticed from the street and fly off your booth tables.
In this video you’ll learn:
• How to cut large pieces on a big laser (and our tips for smaller desktop lasers)
• The exact paints, glues, and materials we use for durability
• How to add 3D layers, wood-grain finishes, and glow-in-the-dark details
• Pricing tips for porch leaners at craft shows
