DIY Christmas Tree Sign

"I love Christmas trees, and I enjoy experimenting with various ideas to create unique looks, like this festive sign! It's a quick and beautiful project with minimal cost. Here's a breakdown of the steps and supplies I used:

Supplies:

• Canvas (4x6 inches)

• Christmas tissue paper

• Christmas ornament (Family Dollar find)

• Clear Elmer's Glue

• Brown acrylic paint or stamping ink

• Brown paper bag or cardboard

• Green acrylic paint

Steps:

Step 1: Gluing Tissue Paper

Apply a thin layer of glue to the canvas and attach Christmas tissue paper.

I prefer clear Elmer's Glue, but Mod Podge works too.

Step 2: Sanding Edges

Once the paper is dry, sand the edges to create a clean finish.

Now it's nice and clean no more rough edges!

Step 4: Creating Tree Base

Cut a triangle from brown paper, paint it green, and glue it onto the canvas.

You don't have to cover the tree all the way .

Step 5: Attaching Ornament

Glue the Christmas ornament on top of the painted green tree, using hot glue.

Step 6-8: Painting and Decorating

Paint the ornament's bell with brown paint, add cinnamon while wet, apply Elmer's Glue, and sprinkle with glitter for a rustic look.

You can do this if you want it rusty look.

I love the look it gives it.

I chose to use very fine glitter for this project.

Look how adorable it looks!

Step 9: Distressing the Sign

You can do this step before you add anything on the tissue paper but I always like to apply this step last .

Use brown ink or wax around the sign for an antique effect.

You can also use Brown paint for this step .

Step 10: Splatter Painting

Use an old toothbrush to create splatter effects with white and brown paint. Practice on a paper plate first.

I did the same thing with the brown paint . I like doing this with a dry toothbrush so I use two different toothbrushes for these steps.

Step 11: Finishing Touch

Apply hairspray to the sign and sprinkle fine glitter for a sparkling finish. It works well as an alternative to a spray sealer.
