Handcrafted Holiday Inspiration – Day 4: Create a Vintage Holiday Sign – Chippy & Crackle

by



Are you ready for some Handcrafted Holiday Inspiration? Today we are recreating a sign that I spotted in the background of a gal’s Instagram feed. She was working on her holiday garland, and I spotted a very cool Merry & Bright sign in the background. Let’s try to recreate it with my spin on it! I used Milk Paint to give it an old looking chippy & crackle feel. I absolutely love it!!

Have you tried using Milk Paint yet? Tell me in the comments what you love about it, concerns about it or dislikes. I want to know all the details so I can help you or learn from you!

  4. I love the old worn look. When it appears it may have ridden in the ark with Noah and Mrs Noah, that's what I love. Creating your own decor is awesome. That's a hand crafted life. Being original so your decor is different from everyone else's is my favorite. Each person is so unique and I love seeing that come out in what they create for their home. Beautiful sign Sonnet.

  12. I LOVE your sign ❤❤❤ just wanted to tell you that I got one of those battery operated coffee frothers on Amazon for $2.99, because I never can get all of the chunks out of my milk paint no matter how much I mix… GAME CHANGER! It also works well to get those little chunks that you get in your mod podge towards the bottom….

  31. I’m just wondering why you don’t save the negative letters for another project? I noticed many YouTubers don’t, some are too fine obviously but many are, in a world with so much wasted utilizing everything bit should be taken into consideration.
