Quick Tabletop Sign with Holiday Transfers, Decoupage and Stencils
For a statement piece that’s both easy and eye-catching, try creating a mini holiday sign using Dixie Belle’s holiday transfers, decoupage papers, or stencils. A small wooden plaque or even a scrap piece of wood makes the perfect backdrop for festive holiday imagery.
- Paint the wood in a holiday color like Evergreen, Barn Red, or Cotton, and let it dry.
- Choose your design:
- For transfers: Position the holiday transfer, such as the Whispering Pines transfer, in the center of your plaque, rub gently to adhere, and peel off the backing.
- For decoupage: Apply a thin layer of Clear Coat Satin, place the decoupage paper (such as the Holiday Holly decoupage paper), smooth out wrinkles, and seal with another layer of Clear Coat Satin.
- For stencils: Choose a holiday stencil, like the Christmas Cheer stencil. Position it on the plaque, dab Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint in a contrasting color over the stencil, and carefully remove it.
- Let your design dry completely.
This versatile DIY project lets you mix and match methods for a unique holiday sign. Perfect for entryway tables, mantels, or centerpieces, these signs add festive charm to your decor.
