DIY Vintage Christmas Sign


I will start decking my halls this coming weekend and wanted to add some new items to my Christmas decor. This sign was easy to make starting with a ready to decorate sign I found at Michaels 70% off! 

Supplies: 
  • 11x24 Sign or Board. Mine is Art Minds which I got for $5 
  • Vinyl of choice. I used Cricut Glitter Red
  • Images / Phrase to cut. The ornaments and "BELIEVE" phrase were in my library, previously purchased from the Silhouette online store. 
  • Electronic Cutter. I used my Cameo 3



Size and cut your images and text. I used the "BELIEVE" and ornament images I got from the Silhouette online store. For the rest of the sentiment, I just chose fonts from my library. 

The ornament image is designed with the snowflakes to be cut separately and layered. I wanted to change that up so I un-grouped everything and then put the snowflakes inside the ornament. 

This is the original: 


This is how I reconfigured it: 

Once you have your  images cut out, then take a deep breath, have a Harry Potter marathon on in the background, and "proceed to weed" your vinyl. Once that's done then apply the transfer tape and prepare to apply to your sign. 



I applied the "BELIEVE" vinyl first, then the rest of my phrase and finally the ornaments. It has a vintage / farmhouse feel to it!

I love this -- red is my color this year! I would have grabbed a few of those prepainted sign boards if I had seen them in my craft store travels! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm! xo Kathleen|Our Hopeful Home
