Christmas Sign ~ By Jayne Loughlin

Morning Fiskarettes.

I bought a little Blank Wooden sign in B&Q the other evening when we were looking for wallpaper scrapers & Paint to do dreaded DIY

Items Needed: Blank Wooden Sign, piece of packaging box, White paint, L Star Squeeze Punch, L Scalloped Square Squeeze Punch, Eyelet Setter, Pearls, Alpha beads, Glue, Ink (opt), Ribbon, Scissors, Scalloped lace border punch.

Instructions:

A light coat of White paint over the Wooden decoration using a Dauber.

I then cut a piece of card from a packing box. This was Trimmed and painted white …Drag the paint dauber in long lines it makes a white wash wood effect.

I’ve punched 3 Stars using the Squeeze Punch out of thick paper and trimmed little notches with pointy scissors, Just like you did as a kid with paper Snowflakes.

I’ve trimmed the Painted Card & added a strip of paper that has been punched with the Scalloped Lace border punch. Gluing this to the bottom at the back.

Punch 3 Squares using the Scalloped Square Squeeze punch. Glue the 3 squares side by side onto the painted packing box card piece & Decorate. I punched the squares with an Eyelet Setter & added Alpha beads. See Below…

Wrap a stng of beads around the ribbon that is used to hang the item.

Add the remaining stars, A few Pearls.

String the two pieces together . I had to punch two more holes at the top of the card piece so it could be hung, I just tied ribbon Bow at the back.

That’s it…what was a tree decoration is now a Wall decoration & will soon match my new DIY colour theme for Christmas
