The Magic of Scrap Wood

Ever wondered what to do with those odd bits of scrap wood lying around? Now is their time to shine. Each piece has its own story, and we’re about to give them a festive twist.

Tools of the Trade

To embark on this merry adventure, you’ll need scrap wood (the more rustic, the better), a stencil maker (Silhouette or Cricut!) for that professional touch, and a palette of cheerful paint colors. It’s like bringing a winter wonderland to life with just a few tools!

Unleash Your Inner Artist

This is the part where your creativity takes center stage. Imagine cute quotes, snowflakes, reindeer, or jolly Santas adorning your wooden canvases. With a stencil maker in hand, even those who claim they can’t draw a straight line will be crafting masterpieces.

My Favorite Craft Paint

You can use any paint that you’d like, but my favorite is Fusion Mineral Paint. Why?

1.) It goes on superrrr easy!

2.) There’s a built-in top coat so you’ll rarely have to do more than two coats on anything–trust me on this one. I’ve used it on nearly everything!

3.) Incredibly durable. This is an absolute must in my household because my family can be a little rough on our items.

I really cannot rave enough about how well this paint works but don’t just take it from me. Check out a local retailer in your area and try it out ASAP! Oh yeah, just in case you were wondering this particular color is Lamp White, and then I used Liquitex Professional Spray Paint in Cadmium Red Deep Hue for the text.

Best Size for Christmas Sign Ornaments

How cute did these signs turn out? I only did four of them approximately 12″ long x 2″ wide, but you could definitely create them in any size or as many as you would like.

How to Make Your Own Stencil

Need some help creating your own stencil? Don’t worry, love. I got your back! Check out this tutorial that will walk you through all the steps you’ll need.

Distress for Success

For that rustic, time-worn charm, consider distressing your ornaments. A light sanding around the edges will give them that cozy, vintage feel. It’s like Santa’s workshop meets a charming cottage in the woods.
