Holiday Decor Refresh: Hot Cocoa Bar Sign

 


Several years ago I made a Cocoa Bar sign and last year I meant to update it and never got around to it so I did it this year. I wasn't sure if the vinyl that was on there for those years would come off but off it came with an X-Acto knife!

Supplies
  • Sign To Repurpose
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Digital Cutting Machine and Image
  • Vinyl
  • Embellishments


This was the original which I forgot to take a picture of before I removed the washi tape that was under "BAR".  I removed the lettering with an X-Acto knife then lightly sanded the surface. 





After sanding, I used white acrylic paint to cover the surface. Once dry, I applied a second coat since you could still see a shadow of the lettering. 


As the paint dried, I chose my image in Cricut Design Space, sized, and cut the vinyl. 


After weeding the vinyl, I applied the transfer tape. 


Then positioned on my sign and applied the vinyl. 


In my stash, I had a package of what I originally thought were loose snowflakes but turned out to be a garland. No problem...snipped a few from the string to finish my project and positioned atop the sign, then glued down with hot glue. 




Now I just need to make this year's batch of cocoa and marshmallows for Mr. Chocolate!
