"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.
