The holiday season provides the perfect backdrop for unique, homemade decorations, such as a DIY Christmas sign. With a bit of creativity, easily accessible materials, and a dash of festive cheer, you can create a beautiful DIY Christmas sign that adds a personalized touch to your home decor.
1. Gather your supplies
- Wooden board
- Christmas-themed napkins
- Christmas-themed fabric
- Burlap flower
- Mod Podge
- Paintbrush
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Wood primer
2. Cut the napkins and fabric
Measure your board and cut your napkins and fabric to size. Remember to leave a little extra so there’s enough material to cover the entire surface.
3. Prepare the wooden board
Clean and prime the board to ensure it’s free of dust and grime. Then apply a light coat of Mod Podge using your paintbrush. This prepares your board and helps the napkin and fabric adhere properly.
4. Apply the napkins and fabric
Stick the napkin cutouts to the board. Gently smooth them out with your finger or a credit card to remove any air bubbles or creases.
After covering the board with napkins, use the fabric cutouts to fill in any gaps that are still showing.
Apply another thin layer of Mod Podge over the fabric for a smooth finish. Let the board dry thoroughly to make sure the napkins and fabric are firmly attached.
5. Add the burlap flower
While your board is drying, prep the burlap flower. Once the board is dry, glue the flower in a preferred position. For example, place in the center for a symmetrical look, or off to the side for a more whimsical touch.
Your DIY Christmas sign is now ready to be displayed and admired! Hang it using sturdy hooks or nails, or simply lean it against a wall amidst your other holiday decor for a cozy, inviting feel.

That is a great story and awesome souvenirs from your family graduations trip. We love Aruba too, we’ve been many times over the years and have also meet some very kind and generous local business owners. It really is one happy island! What a great place to display your crate and bottles and remind you of your special trip!
Thank you Kaycee. I have no doubt we will go back to the happy island again. It was simply magical and so beautiful!
I want to see the crate and bottles.
