🎨 Project: Christmas Reindeer Round Sign
Materials Used:
- 16” round wood board (pre-stained)
- Santa & Rudolph Greetings Door Hanger Stencil
- Whimsical Reindeer Mini Sign Stencils (3 Pack)
- Nordic Christmas Pattern Stencil
- Scandinavian Christmas Rub-on Transfer Set
- Stencil Brush Set and Mini Stencil Brush Set
- Essential Rub-On Transfer Tool
- Painter’s tape, fusion mineral paints (Elmwood, Highlander Red, Jenny’s Green, Light Green), sponge, and sandpaper
Step 1: Paint the Background
Start with a pre-stained 16" round board. Place a strip of painter’s tape across the center to divide it in half. Using a sponge, paint the bottom half red and apply a second coat for a richer finish.
Step 2: Add the Green Accent
Add another strip of tape, leaving a small section at the top. Paint this area with dark green, then blend a layer of light green for a soft ombre effect. Let everything dry completely.
Step 3: Stencil the Greeting
Position the “Merry Christmas” stencil from the Santa & Rudolph Greetings Door Hanger Stencil on the red section. Using a stencil brush, dab on white paint. Apply a second coat for brightness.
Step 4: Add the Reindeer Trio
Place three reindeer from the Whimsical Reindeer Mini Sign Stencils on the unpainted section. Paint them white and let dry.
Step 5: Smooth the Surface
Once the paint is dry, lightly sand the board to smooth and blend everything beautifully.
Step 6: Add the Holly Transfer
Cut out a holly design from the Scandinavian Christmas Rub-on Transfer Set. Position it at the top and use the Essential Transfer Tool to burnish it firmly.
Step 7: Give the Reindeer Cozy Sweaters
Reposition your reindeer stencil, then layer the Nordic Christmas Pattern Stencil just below it. Align the tiny Christmas trees and snowflakes to give each reindeer a Nordic-style sweater look!
Fill in the aligned stencil with green paint using a mini brush. Repeat for all three reindeer for a charming, matching finish.
✨ Final Reveal
Once everything is dry, give the entire piece a light sand for a smooth, professional look. Your reindeer family is ready to shine this holiday season!
Helpful Tips:
- Always work with a dry brush when stenciling to avoid paint bleed.
- Blend your red and green sections smoothly by slightly dampening your sponge.
- Lightly sand between steps for a polished, layered look.
- Try experimenting with other transfer patterns to customize your piece!
