Winter Oval Pop Sign Tutorial

Step 1: Paint the Background

Start by painting your entire wood oval sign with white paint, making sure to cover both the front and the sides evenly.

While the paint is still damp, lightly brush green paint across the surface. Dip your brush slightly into water to help the colors blend softly for a frosted winter look. Let the board dry completely.

Step 2: Add Rub-On Transfers

Cut out the snowman and three pine trees from the Cozy Winter Cuddles Rub-On Transfer Set.

Position them along the bottom of the sign. Burnish slowly using the transfer tool, paying close attention to fine details.

Tip: If a piece doesn’t release right away, lay it back down and burnish again. Slow and steady gives you the cleanest transfer.

Step 3: Stencil the Phrase

Tape down the phrase “Take time to chase Snowflakes” from the Wish Upon a Snowflake Stencil Set.

Stencil the word “Snowflakes” first using dark green paint and a mini stencil brush. Apply a second coat for a bold finish, then carefully lift the stencil.

Reposition the stencil at the top of the board and fill in “Take time”, then align and stencil “to chase” so the spacing flows naturally.

Step 4: Add Snowflake Details

Using white paint, randomly stencil snowflakes from the same set across the board to create a soft, snowy finish.

Final Reveal

This winter oval sign is soft, cozy, and easy to customize with different colors or phrases. Change up the palette, add sparkle, or make it reversible for even more flexibility.
