Melissa Miller of Miller’s Rustic Sawmill is back with a festive, beginner-friendly project using the Merry & Sweet Christmas Rub-On Transfer Set from Essential Stencil. In this tutorial, she shows how easy it is to create charming Christmas wood blocks that add instant holiday cheer to any space!
Start with three 6x6 wood blocks. Make sure each surface is clean, smooth, and completely dry before applying your transfers. A light sanding helps ensure a better bond.
From the Merry & Sweet Christmas transfer pack, cut out three festive designs—one for each block. Cutting closely around each image makes it easier to position them precisely on your wood surface.
Peel away the backing and place each design face-down on your wood block. Using the Essential Rub-On Transfer Tool, burnish firmly in small circular motions until the design fully adheres. Gently lift the top sheet to reveal your design—so simple and satisfying!
Once your designs are transferred, gently wipe away any dust or residue and enjoy your new Christmas blocks! These look adorable on kitchen counters, shelves, or tiered trays—and make wonderful handmade gifts.
That’s it! In just a few minutes, you’ll have a set of festive Christmas blocks ready to decorate your kitchen, mantel, or entryway. They’re so easy, even kids or grandkids can help!
