Wood signs can be used anywhere for indoor or outdoor display. They can be used for rustic home decor, welcome sign , lake house, country decor.....you name it . I decided to make a wood sign for christmas decoration. I had blank mason jar wood signs that I had got off of Amazon. With some nice patterned vinyl I came up with this christmas decor. What do you think ?
Materials -
Blank mason jar wood sign
Vinyl
Twine
Hot glue gun
Cricut explore Air 2
Embellishments (optional )
Instructions -
1. I measured the blank wood sign. Given the mason jar shape I decided to use two different vinyls. One for the lid and other for the jar itself. Once I finalized the size and shape on Cricut design space it was time to cut the vinyl
2. I cut the patterned plaid vinyl for the jar itself. The lid shape was cut using the oracle 651 permanent plain black vinyl .
3. After weeding the vinyl I applied it onto the wood sign. I used a scraper for smooth application .
4. I wrapped the twine around the neck of the jar/sign. It also helped me to make a hanger in the back using a loop of the twine. used hot glue gun to secure the twine to the wood sign.
5. I added lettering using white vinyl .Finally the foam snowflake was a little embellishment for my sign to look more festive .
Tips -
1. You can use adhesive spray onto the wood sign before vinyl application . It will help adhere the vinyl better .
2. Embellishments are optional but they surely add to the beauty of the sign .
3. Do not shy away from patterned vinyl. Play with patterns and blank vinyl just like you would put an outfit together .
4. You can trace the wood sign shape onto vinyl instead of using a software like design space.
