**Here’s what you do:**

Clean off any dust that may be on the boards and lay them out how you want them aligned.

![diy-barn-door-sign-adhering-boards-together.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY%20Home%20Decor/diy-barn-door-sign-adhering-boards-together.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=diy-barn-door-sign-adhering-boards-together.jpg)

Cut Advanced Strength Double-Sided Sheets into strips as wide as your boards. Remove the liner from the strips and press the adhesive firmly into place along the edges of the boards and then adhere the boards together.

On the back, nail two small boards perpendicular for extra stability. Nail the D-Ring hangers to the back.

By hand, paint your message on the front of your wood boards.  Let dry completely before hanging up.
