Wondering how to make your Christmas decor unique this year? Try these fun and festive DIY Christmas signs, many made with stencils which makes them effortless to copy!
Decorating with Christmas signs is one of the easiest Christmas decorations to make! Signs tend to tell a full story, and of course, offer great holiday season impact wherever you hang them up!
DIY Christmas signs are also very easy to store, with most being flat. I tend to store mine under my stairs behind the Christmas boxes standing up. They take up very little space! However, another idea is to decorate both sides of the sign so you have a festive and everyday option! No storage required!
First up, I’d love to showcase some gorgeous work by bloggers that have been busy creating with Christmas stencils with Funky Junk’s Old Sign Stencils, which makes signmaking effortless!
The reason I came up with this line of stencils is so others could easily create well designed signs that looked professional, creating super clean lines, and easy to make, especially for those who sell them!
So here’s a few made with Christmas stencils, then below, you’ll find a linkup of a variety of different signs of all kinds, with each leading to a tutorial.
