How to make a DIY Season’s Greetings Holiday Decor

Alright, I started this adorable and simple Christmas craft by painting the inside of the house-shaped box from Dollar Tree with brown paint.

I like to use Apple Barrel or DecoArt because they are both very affordable, but also still great quality for my DIY ideas!

Let that brown paint dry completely (I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process) then paint over the brown coat with white paint.

You have to cover up the design on the inside of the sign box before you can decoupage a napkin onto it, otherwise, the original design will show through the thin napkin ply.

How to decoupage a napkin

Allow the white paint to dry, then apply a coat of Mod Podge over the white paint. Next, separate the napkin plies of the season’s greetings napkin and carefully press the ply with the design onto the Mod Podge.

Ball up a piece of plastic saran wrap and use it to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles in the napkin ply.

Next, I painted the left and right outer sides of the sign box with white paint and dried the paint with my heat gun.

Once it was completely dry, I applied a coat of Mod Podge so I could decoupage the red and white polka dot napkin onto the sides.

Separate the napkin plies just like you did with the season’s greetings napkin and press the patterned napkin onto the Mod Podge.

Once the Mod Podge is dry, lightly go over the edges of the sign box with a sanding sponge to tear off the excess napkin from the surface.

How to stain wood with paint

Next, I measured and cut the giant craft sticks into four pieces to create the roof for my house. I stained the craft sticks with brown paint.

To do that, I poured the brown paint onto the wood and used a wet wipe to spread the paint across the surface. Use a clean wet wipe to remove the excess paint and you’re left with a stained finish!

Before I attached the craft sticks, I painted the face of the house box with black paint. Once the paint was dry, I lightly sanded the surface with a sanding sponge.

I hot glued the stained craft sticks to the top of the house box, then painted the bottom inside part of the house box with white paint.

Let it snow!

Next, I added the snow! To do that, I drizzled some hot glue on the bottom inside of the house box and pressed the snow onto the glue. Repeat until you’re happy with the snow layer.

I repeated the process on the roof and to some parts of the napkin that I wanted to look snowy. Then, I trimmed the white picket fence to fit across the bottom of the box and glued it in place.

We’re almost done, I promise! Next, I stained two Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower blocks with the same technique I used on the craft sticks.

Once the blocks were stained and dry, I hot glued them to the bottom of the house box to be the little feet!
