At Pinners Conference this last year, I visited the Daily Craft Vinyl booth and was impressed with their selection of vinyl. I was inspired to make a craft, and after some thought, decided to make a wood sign for Christmas and a family name sign for my sister-in-law. I chose red, silver, green, and yellow. For this particular one I decided to use red, and love how it turned out!
What you need:
- Daily Craft Vinyl
- Daily Craft Vinyl Transfer
- Wood sign
- Newspapers or sheet of plastic
- Spray paint or paint and brush
- Silhouette Cameo, Cricut, or X-acto knife
- Cut your piece of wood to the size you desire. A hardware store or construction company can do this for you. (My brother owns his own business and was happy to help me cut the wood and route the edges)
- Give it a light sanding, then spray paint on to the wood (light layers to avoid drips). Let dry completely, then repeat process till they are fully painted (approx 5-6 coats). Note: The edges will take longer to absorb the paint
- Figure out what design and lettering you want. Pinterest has tons of ideas to get your creative juices flowing
- Use a Cricut, Silhouette Cameo, or X-acto knife to cut through top sheet of vinyl (leaving the backing uncut)
- Apply the vinyl to the wood, measuring carefully and following the instructions per this video:
And there you go - a beautiful decorative sign to use in your home or give as a gift!

That is SO cool! I can't wait to try out this idea.
