Okay, it is halfway through December, are all your Christmas decorations up? My decorations have been up since the beginning of the month but I find myself still wanting to add more to my decor. Of course, being that it is the Holiday season my wallet is much thinner than usual and the thought of buying a new piece of decor comes with excitement and hesitancy. In a situation like this, DIY is always the way to go.
You know those Holiday signs that are made with vintage windows and have cute AF Holiday sign phrases? I have seen them all over Pinterest (just search vintage window sign) and I love them! I have wanted to make one for a while now but it isn’t as easy as it looks. First, finding a vintage window is not the easiest thing and applying the lettering is a whole other story.
But, you know me once I get an idea in my head, I must make it happen. So I set out to find an easy, inexpensive way to make a sign that has that vintage vibe. This project only takes a few supplies and an ink-jet printer. I love the projects that you can get done in under an hour, and this one is one of those.
What you’ll need:
- Frame with glass
- Clear Sticker Paper
- Tree Farm Print (download below)
- Ink-Jet Printer
First things first. Download the free Tree Farm print. I have both color and black options. I am going to be completely honest, I really wanted to print the color version but my printer would not print in color even when I selected color. After an hour of searching to the web to figure it out with no luck, I decided black looks pretty cute too!
Print the tree farm print (download below) on the clear sticker paper. The print is for an 8.5 x 11 frame. A couple things about this, make sure you are printing on the correct side (the glossy side) and make sure to allow it to dry completely before handling it.
Wipe off the glass to the picture frame and remove the backing to the clear sticker paper. Carefully apply the paper to the glass, sticky side down. Smooth out any bubbles and put glass back into frame.
If you would like to add a ribbon for hanging, wrap it around the frame before you put the glass back in. Place the glass over the ribbon and put the back on the frame.
Also, my frame came with a hook and I love it. I hung a sprig of holly and it made it so much more festive. This could easily be recreated buying a small hook and attaching it to your frame.
Done! Can you believe how easy this is!? I absolutely love my sign and it may have been exactly what I needed to complete my Christmas decor.
