Tips to Make Holiday Sign Cricut Craft
- Click here to get the Joy to the World holiday cut file set. It’s simple, but ready-made and set to go. But if you don’t have a Cricut or Silhouette, you can still make this cute sign with the lettering by simply cutting out the letters from the printable JPG set then, using that as a stencil, paint the lettering on the sign.
- If you have some little bottle brush trees laying around, no matter their finish, they’re going to look cute on this sign. I debated between glittery ones like these and the more traditional trees. Obviously, I went with the more traditional ones like these, but I still think the glittery ones would be cute.
- That little farm truck is the cutest little element. I whipped mine up from a little cut out I found at the craft store. But if you have trouble finding one, you can grab this set of wood ornaments and use the farm truck to make the sign.

- To assemble the wood sign, place the face piece painted-side-up on your table, then glue the side pieces to the edge of the face piece, joining the corners together, to form a frame.
- Download the cut file and upload it to Cricut Design Space. Follow the prompts to cut the design from the vinyl.
- Load the permanent vinyl into the Cricut machine and select washi tape as the material, as this will help the design cut more cleanly. Tell the cutting machine to make.
- When the cuts are completed, weed the excess vinyl from the design and discard.
- Cut a piece of transfer tape, large enough to cover the design. Using a scraper tool, press the transfer tape onto the design, then gently pull the carrier sheet off the back, leaving jus the vinyl on the transfer tape.
- Lay the vinyl design onto the front of a wood sign and, using the scraper tool, firmly affix the vinyl to the wood. Gently remove the transfer tape and discard.
- Hot glue the painted farm truck to the bottom right of the sign and glue 3-4 of the bottle brush Christmas trees to the bottom left of the sign. Then it's time to hang and enjoy!
