Let the Magic Begin: Crafting Your Christmas Trees Sign
- Begin by cleaning off your boards with a sander or stiff brush if needed.
- Line up your two boards on a flat surface, ensuring they sit evenly next to each other.
- Take the two back support pieces and place them evenly away from each other on the backside. Nail them into place securely.
- Flip your sign over and paint it white. Don’t worry about achieving perfection since you’ll be distressing it later. Allow the paint to dry for a minimum of 5 hours.
Crafting Christmas Spirit: Adding the Fresh Cut Christmas Trees
- Use your Silhouette CAMEO to cut out the Fresh Cut Christmas Trees SVG Cut File with vinyl on your mat. Remove the vinyl from the mat and apply your transfer tape.
- Remove the backing from your vinyl and carefully take out the vinyl pieces of your design that you will be painting.
- Apply the vinyl to your sign board, ensuring even alignment. Use a squeegee to firmly push it down.
- Slowly remove your transfer tape, leaving only the vinyl on your board.
- In a well-ventilated area, evenly apply a light coat of spray paint (or use your airbrush) to your vinyl. Allow it to dry and then apply additional coats until your desired color is achieved.
- Once the paint is completely dry, remove your vinyl. If you encounter difficulty pulling up small pieces, a weeder tool can be handy.
- Lightly distress the edges and all over the entire sign with your sander to give it a charming aged look.
