Christmas Tree Farm Sign Supply List

18x5 Wood Craft Blank
Black Craft Paint
White Craft Paint
Foam Brushes
Vaseline
White Oracal 651 Craft Vinyl
Transfer Tape
Sand Paper
Weeding Tool
Old Credit Card or Giftcard

Step One: Paint your entire sign black with your black craft paint. Allow to dry.

Step Two: I wanted the border of my sign to be white so after the black paint was dry, I applied some vaseline on the corners and edges and painted the frame part of the wood white. The vaseline allows for easy distressing.

Once the white paint was dry I lightly sanded it so that you can see some of the black paint showing through, to give it a worn look. I also sanded the face of the board a bit. I want it to give the appearance of a chalkboard.

Step Three: Next I cut out my design using vinyl and my Silhouette Cameo. Make sure you make the proper blade and material adjustments.

Step Four: Weed the excess vinyl that surrounds your cut lettering/design so that the only thing you have left on the carrier sheet is your design.

Step Five: Use your transfer tape (or clear contact paper in my case) to smooth it over your design. Take an old credit card or gift card and rub, rub, rub so that the transfer tape sticks to the design thoroughly.

Step Six: Carefully peel the transfer tape back and your design should be stuck to it. If some of your letters are still stick to the vinyl carrier sheet, lay the transfer tape back down and rub again and then try to lift again. Sometimes it takes a few tries to grab the whole design.

Step Seven: Place the transfer tape with the vinyl design onto the painted board and smooth the contact paper/design onto the board with the credit card again. Make sure to go over the design really well, especially on the edges of the design. Slowly peel the contact paper back and your design should remain on your painted board.

I absolutely adore how this came out. I put it on display in my living room and added a cute washi tape bunting above it just for fun. I tried to go with a rustic/farmhouse look with my Christmas decor this year and this little Christmas Tree Farm sign fits right in.
