Fresh Cut Stenciled Christmas Sign
My favorite decorations to make are Christmas signs.
I've made and sold hundreds of them and they are all different.
Today I'm combining a new stencil with an old stencil and a piece of reclaimed wood.
I think the reclaimed wood I use is one of the keys to this pretty sign.
I had this pallet that used to be part of a children's wooden table.
Please follow the highlighted links to products I recommend and more Homeroad DIY projects.
I left little patches of the old paint to add to the look, I think it looks like snow.
Next, I coated the board with hemp oil.
The hemp oil brings out the rich color of the aged wood.
I used the Christmas Trees stencil from Old Sign Stencils to stencil trees across the reclaimed wood.
Old Sign Stencils are made so well, you'll be using them for years!
First, I used a lighter green paint then I dabbed some darker paint over the top to give the trees dimension.
As you can see I used only the tree part of this stencil.
You can see how I used this stencil in different ways on this shades of grey holiday sign and on this Christmas crate.
You can visit more stenciled Christmas ideas at the bottom of this post.
Next, I used another Old Sign Stencil called Mini Christmas Trees.
This stencil has several options for words on the stencil.
I chose the Fresh Cut Christmas Trees part of the stencil.
I can't wait to try all of them!
But I'm not finished yet, now I wanted to add a little snow and shading to my trees.
I used black and white craft paint to more dimension then added a little snowy grass with a foam brush.
Perfect!
Adding dimension and details to the stencil really takes it to the next level.
I added a black and white gingham ribbon to hang my sign.
