DIY Christmas Tree Truck Sign

Christmas· Seasonal· Winter

It’s so easy to create this vintage-looking Christmas Tree truck sign and it’s perfect to display on a mantel or use as a wreath centerpiece! It comes together fairly quickly and they’re definitely very relaxing to make. So jump in and make this fun DIY Christmas sign with me – and don’t forget to enjoy!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY Christmas sign:

  • 15 x 9 Blank Pallet Wood sign
  • Red Paint
  • Green Glitter Paint
  • Sandpaper
  • Pencil
  • Wood Stain
  • Paintbrushes
  • Christmas Tree Truck Template (download here)
  • Battery-operated Lights (optional)

Step 1. Sand your board lightly, and then stain it with the stain you have chosen – use a rag to distribute it evenly and wipe the excess off with a clean paper towel. Wait for it to dry before proceeding onto the next step.

 Step 2. Print the template provided and piece them together – the template is sized to fit a 15 x 9 board just right. Don’t forget to resize it as you see fit if you are using a different board size.
 Step 3. Shade the back of your template, and trace the design onto the wood sign after. You should have a line to follow loosely to create your truck and tree.
 Step 4. Fill in the truck, wheels and tree with the color of your choice – use a round paintbrush to trace around and a flat paintbrush to fill it in. Two coats of paint is perfect to fully fill in and cover the image.
 Step 5. To create a fun effect onto the tree, fill it in with green glitter paint and dry it with a heat gun – this step is totally optional but it’s fun!
