Sketching Merry Christmas Design
Get your wooden frame ready and start sketching your Merry Christmas design with a pencil. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect – just a rough outline will do. Don’t worry if you’re not confident in your drawing skills, you can always look for reference images online.
Lightly sketch out the letters and swirls of the ‘Merry Christmas’ text on your frame. This will serve as a guide for when you start painting.
If you make any mistakes, simply erase and re-sketch until you are happy with the design. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even add in some extra holiday elements like snowflakes or holly leaves.
Get creative and have fun with it! After all, this is your unique piece of farmhouse Christmas decor.
Tracing Merry Christmas Design
Now trace your design with a small paint brush and white paint, following the sketch you made. Make sure to use a steady hand and fill in any gaps or uneven lines. You can always go back and add more paint as needed.
For a more professional finish, you can go over the design with another layer of white paint once the first coat has dried. This will give your Merry Christmas wall sign a clean and crisp look. You can also add in some extra details or touch-ups at this stage.
Don’t limit yourself to just white paint for this project – feel free to get creative with colors! You can use different shades for a gradient effect, or add in some metallic or glitter accents for a touch of holiday sparkle.
Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – imperfections add character to DIY projects!

Decorating Merry Christmas Sign
Decorating your Merry Christmas wall sign is where you can add your personal touch and make it truly unique.
You can use any kind of Christmas decorations or accessories to embellish your sign, such as bells, ornaments, ribbons, or even little fairy lights.
For a rustic farmhouse look, opt for natural materials like pine cones, twigs, and burlap. You can also incorporate some vintage elements like old sheet music or book pages.
Feel free to mix and match until you’re happy with the overall look. Here’s our list of rustic Christmas decor that you can pair up with your Merry Christmas wall sign!
Secure the decorations in place by using a stick glue or hot glue gun. And to really make your Merry Christmas sign stand out, wrap a twine string or rope around it. This adds a charming touch and brings the whole design together.
Hanging Merry Christmas Sign
Once you’re done decorating, your Merry Christmas wall sign is ready to be displayed!
Simply hang it up with a nail or hook on any wall or surface of your choice. You can also prop it up against a shelf or mantel for a more casual look.
As mentioned earlier, don’t be afraid to hang up more than one Christmas sign on your walls. You can create a gallery wall with different holiday signs.
You can even switch up the placement throughout the holiday season for a fresh look.
And don’t worry about taking your sign down after the holiday season is over – you can always repurpose it for future years or even use it as part of your regular home decor.
This Merry Christmas sign is a timeless piece that will bring joy and festive spirit to your home for many holidays to come.

Can I hang my Merry Christmas sign outdoors?
If you want to hang your Merry Christmas sign outdoors, make sure to hang it in a spot that is sheltered from direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions. This will help preserve the colors and materials of your sign.
However, keep in mind that even with proper precautions, hanging your Merry Christmas sign outdoors may still result in some wear and tear.
If you live in an area with harsh winters or strong winds, it may be best to display your sign indoors to prevent any damage.
But if you’re determined to have your Merry Christmas sign outdoors, consider using weather-resistant materials and sealants to protect it. You can also bring it inside during harsh weather conditions or store it away for future use.
