✨ Hot Cocoa Christmas Sign
Materials List
- Christmas Blend Stencil Set
- 5½-inch square wood board
- Fusion Mineral Paint in Cranberry and Casement
- Stencil brush (1/2-inch or smaller for detailed areas)
- Painter's tape
- Sandpaper and lint-free cloth
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Surface
Sand your wood square smooth and wipe away any dust.
2. Paint the Background
Apply two coats of Fusion's Cranberry paint for a rich, festive base. Let each coat dry fully.
3. Stencil the Design
Center the Hot Cocoa stencil from the Christmas Blend set. Secure with painter's tape. Use white paint and a dry stencil brush to swirl or pounce the paint onto the board in light layers.
Helpful Tips
- Offload excess paint before stenciling to avoid bleed-through.
- Use light, multiple coats rather than one heavy layer.
- Consider seasoning your board if using as a chalkboard backdrop!
