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!
And you are done! You have the option of adding lights, text or other embellishments to personalize your DIY Christams sign and make it truly your own. What aspect about Christmas do you love the most?
