How to Make Tiered Tray Signs | Mini Wood Signs | Christmas Decor

Hey, all my crafty friends! So who's ready to do some Christmas crafting? 🖐

I hope you like this video and find some inspiration to go and do something fun in your home too!

In today's video, I will show you how I make mini tiered tray signs. This is a simple project and I just love making these cute little signs. 

I started out my crafting adventure by making larger wood signs and I really enjoyed it. But the shipping on these was so high I decided I needed to use lighter wood or make smaller signs. That's about the time tiered trays were becoming so popular. Theses signs are so cute!

This is a great hand-made gift idea for the holidays. Perfect for friends, family, co-workers or secret Santa gifts.

Project Steps

• I create a blackish gray weathered looking stain by adding acrylic paint and water. I mixed it well and applied it to all four signs.

 

Step 2.

• While the stain was drying I cut out 4 Christmas inspired designs using my Cricut.  After weeding and attaching transfer paper I added each of the designs to the wood signs.

 

Step 3 - My Secret. (Don't Tell Anybody This!)

• When I apply vinyl to wood I always use a thin piece of fabric and my iron. I know this sounds crazy but I'm telling you it works amazing. By doing this your vinyl will have more of a hand-painted look. The heat from the iron melts the vinyl into all the creases and crevices of the wood.

 

Step 4. The Finishing Touches.

• Once all the signs were ready I added a layer of mod podge to give them more of a finished look. 

• I also added pieces of twine to the back of each ornament so it could be hung on the tree or sat on a tiered tray, counter, table, or any flat surface.
