Details

One door, every season. The Arched Door Base is a professionally designed, thoughtfully curated DIY kit: a charming arched door with a round window, delicate trim, and a handle, standing in a slotted base with room to arrange seasonal pieces around it. Paint it warm wood, classic black, or any colour that suits your home — then swap the inserts with the seasons and let the door tell a new story each time. Each piece is precision laser-cut with clean edges and a smooth surface made for paint. The kit arrives unassembled, so the making is part of the experience: paint, assemble, and set a little doorway on your shelf, mantel, or entry table. The Thankful Door Insert from this same collection fits this base — the “Gather” medallion sits in the round window and the pumpkin urns, Thankful panel, and lantern slide into the base slots. The insert is sold separately. Open. Create. Become.

What’s Included

Laser-cut MDF pieces for one arched door display base:

• Arched door with round window opening

• Door handle
• Slotted display base (three slotted panels)

All pieces precision laser-cut, unfinished, ready to paint. The seasonal inserts shown in the assembled display photo (pumpkin urns, Thankful panel, Gather medallion, lantern) are a separate kit — the Thankful Door Insert, sold separately — and are not included here.

What’s Not Included

Customer supplies:

• Paint (DecoArt Americana acrylics) or wood stain
• Paint brushes & make-up wedges
• Sandpaper
• Glue (wood glue, super glue & hot glue)

Materials

Premium 1/8″ MDF, precision laser-cut. Unfinished — pieces arrive bare and ready to paint, stain, or seal. Smooth surface, clean laser-cut edges.

How to Use

1. Lightly sand the piece edges.
2. Paint or stain the pieces before assembly, using brushes and make-up wedges for detail and blending (choose your own palette, or follow the colours included with your kit).
3. Glue the layers together — wood glue for the main layers, super glue or hot glue for small details.
4. Let dry, then seal with a clear spray sealer to protect the finish.
5. Slot the door into the display base and arrange your seasonal inserts in the remaining slots.

Experience level: beginner-friendly. Ideal for a relaxing solo project or a seasonal display that changes with the year.

FAQs

Is the kit painted or unpainted? Unpainted. The pieces arrive as unfinished MDF blanks, ready for you to paint, stain, or seal in any palette you like.

Which paints should I use? We recommend DecoArt Americana acrylics. The exact colours used in the finished sample are included with your kit.

Are the seasonal inserts included? No — the Thankful Door Insert (pumpkin urns, Thankful panel, Gather medallion, lantern) is sold separately and fits this base.

Is paint, glue, or stain included? No — paints, brushes, sandpaper, glue, and sealer are not included, so you have full creative control.

How hard is it to assemble? Beginner-friendly. Paint the pieces, glue the layers together, seal, and slot the door into the base.

Can I paint it in different colours? Yes — the kit is yours to customize. Any acrylic paint palette or wood stain works.
