A red truck Christmas craft idea is a wonderful way to add a bit of vintage to beautiful Christmas decorations.
A red truck Christmas craft idea to add some vintage fun!
The idea behind this was to create something that would made a great handmade gift. The paddles that we use to make this are extremely reasonably priced at a local dollar store. Here in Canada, I can find these at Dollarama for $3-4. As for the rest of it, who doesn’t love red truck decor for Christmas, especially one that is made from upcycled curragated cardboard!
We always love signs as gifts. You can never worry about someone having too many signs, especially during the holidays! A handmade gift also shows that you took thought and effort into coming up with the perfect gift for someone. (We won’t judge you though if you make this for yourself- this is a cute one!)
