Let’s Learn How to Make Small Wooden Christmas Signs
Start by deciding how many signs you want to make. I made my signs 5.5 inches long. Then cut the 1×2 with a miter saw (other saws will work too, but this is what I used). Give the ends a light sanding so they are smooth. Out of one 8 foot 1×2 you can make about 17 signs for $7.
Choose your paint color and paint your signs. I used the Waverly High Performance Semi Gloss Acrylic Paint in Ink. It covered so well, it was my first time using it and now it’s my new favorite craft paint.
When the signs are drying, I created my designs in Cricut Design Space™. For these designs, I had to ungroup the images and contour some to make them fit the signs (since they are so small). If you are using Cricut Design space, here is my file of the svgs I created.
Using your Cricut Maker or other cutting machine, cut your designs in vinyl and weed the design.
Next use transfer paper to add your designs to the sign.
How cute are these? Can you imagine a place for them in your Christmas decor? These Christmas signs are perfect for shelves, a desk or when you just need a little something more.
