Join Melissa Miller of Millers Rustic Sawmill as she shares how to create a reversible Christmas door tag sign using festive stencils and a few easy painting techniques. This project gives you two beautiful holiday looks in one piece — perfect for your front door or entryway decor!
Step 1: Start with a large door tag pre-stained in dark walnut. Make sure it’s clean and completely dry before stenciling.
Step 2: Tape down the Nordic Christmas Pattern Stencil from the Classic Christmas Stencil Bundle 2025. Using a stencil brush, fill the design with white paint, swirling gently for even coverage. Apply a second coat for a brighter, more defined pattern.
Step 3: Carefully lift the stencil to reveal a crisp winter pattern. Let dry completely before flipping for the next side.
Step 1: Flip the tag and position the Christmas Tree Stencil near the bottom. Using green paint and a stencil brush, fill in the tree shape evenly.
Step 2: Dip a fan brush in white paint and gently dab the tree branches to mimic soft snow.
Step 3: Using a mini stencil brush, fill the star at the top with gold paint for a festive sparkle.
Step 4: Position Layer 2 of the stencil and paint the ornaments in gold and cranberry. Apply two thin coats for a richer, dimensional finish.
Step 5: Fill the tree stem with dark brown paint. Once dry, add a light dusting of white to give it a snowy look.
Step 6: Finish with the “Oh Christmas Tree” stencil at a playful angle and fill with bold gold paint for a festive shimmer.
Final Reveal: A reversible Christmas tag — winter pattern on one side, festive tree on the other! Add a ribbon and some greenery to complete the look.
