Dollar Store Christmas Sign Craft

A perfect craft to make after a quick stop at the dollar store, this festive and fun Christmas sign is made from an inexpensive wood plaque, decoupaged napkin and some pretty decorative holiday accessories.

DIY Dollar Store and Cricut Christmas Sign

Truthfully, many of these craft supplies I already had lying around in my supply stash. Things like faux greenery, ribbon and decorative berries are a Christmas crafting go-to. However, on a recent trip to the Dollar Store I couldn’t help but pick up a few more supplies like this wooden plaque and pretty paper napkins to make a simple holiday sign.

Whenever possible, I like to buy pretty paper napkins to use for crafting things like these decoupage napkin glass jar vases and decoupage napkin holiday canisters (post coming soon).

How to Make a Dollar Store Christmas Sign

I shared the tutorial for making this Christmas sign craft on a recent Facebook Live which you can catch here. As always, it’s so much fun to craft together with other crafty friends. They always have the best suggestions when it comes to choosing paint colors, ribbons and other accessories.

Preparing the Wood Plaque

To start, paint the outside borders of the wooden plaque and let the paint dry. Although I skipped thi snext step, I suggest painting the inside surface of the plaque white especially if you are using a white napkin to decoupage. Make sure the paint is dry before moving on to the next step.

Take the Christmas themed napkin and peel apart the layers using just the top printed layer and place it inside the plaque.

Using the utility knife or scissors, cut the napkin to fit inside the plaque.

Apply modge podge to the inside of the plaque and place the cut out napkin inside and smooth it out. Apply another coat of modge podge on the top of the napkin. Let it dry.

Applying the Vinyl Lettering

We used our Cricut Joy and a Christmas phrase form the Design Space library to make the vinyl lettering. After weeding the vinyl cut out, apply the transfer tape on top of the vinyl lettering and then peel off the backing.

Place it in the center of the plaque.

Adding the Finishing Touches

It’s all in the finishing touches when it comes to the look of this Dollar Store Christmas sign. Using the hot glue gun, glue the rope around the inside of the plaque and then glue some of the greenery, decorative berries, a bow and pinecones to the frame.
