Made with Care in Scottsburg, Indiana, From Our Yard to Yours
Hey there, neighbors! We’re so glad you stopped by. At Yard Art Decor and More, everything we make is handcrafted with heart right here in Southern Indiana. Before you place a custom order, we want to make sure we're on the same page. Below, you’ll find a few friendly notes on what we do (and don’t do) when it comes to custom yard signs.
What We Can and Can’t Create
We pour our time, creativity, and care into every piece. Our style is bold, cheerful, and family-friendly — the kind of signs that make people say "WOW" and smile when they drive by your house!
Quality You Can Feel
Our signs aren’t flimsy or mass-produced—they’re built to last. Each one is handcrafted from ½” Medium Density Overlay (MDO), a durable, outdoor-grade plywood made to withstand rain, snow, sun, and strong Midwest winds.
Every custom yard sign comes with a green-coated steel stake for easy, secure placement in your front yard or garden. Many of our customers have proudly displayed their signs for over a decade—and they still look just as vibrant as the day they were made.
Our Sparkling Finish
There’s nothing quite like Christmas in the Midwest, and at Yard Art Decor and More, we go the extra mile to make your holiday yard signs truly shine. Our signature three-step glitter finish adds that perfect touch of sparkle and magic to every Christmas display. Here’s how we do it:
Common Questions
We love inspiration, but we won’t directly copy licensed or copyrighted work. Instead, we’ll take your ideas and make something fresh in our own style.
Everything’s made to order here at our workshop in Scottsburg, not shipped from a warehouse. We’ll give you an estimated turnaround time when you reach out.
Why Standard Cardboard/Poster Board Is the Worst for Yard Signs
Cardboard absorbs water, warps, and disintegrates quickly in rain, snow, or humidity — basically, any outdoor conditions.
It bends, tears, or flops over with even light wind. The fibers break down quickly.
It fades fast under sunlight and becomes brittle over time.
It doesn’t hold up well with stakes unless heavily reinforced, which defeats the purpose of using it as a “quick” or “cheap” option.
Bonus Runner-Up Worst Material
Foam board (like foamcore used for indoor displays or presentations) may look sturdy, but it melts, bubbles, or warps under heat, absorbs moisture, and crumbles in cold temperatures — a terrible match for weather.
Better Alternatives (and Recommend)
Our go-to material is strong, weather-resistant, and built to last. While lightweight corrugated plastic (commonly used for political or real estate signs) is a decent short-term option, it doesn’t offer the same durability or visual appeal as our MDO wood signs—though it's certainly a step up from cardboard.
