DIY Farm Fresh Christmas Trees Sign

November 6, 2017 By Jacque 10 Comments

Creating your own framed canvas art has never been easier. Step by step process of how to create a custom DIY Farm Fresh Christmas Tree Sign “The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!” – Buddy the Elf. I cannot express to you how much I love the last 4 months of the year.  Not only do I get Halloween (squee) but then Christmas.  In our house it goes a little something like this –
Oct 1: Decorate Home for Halloween.
November 1: Take down Halloween decor.
November 2:  Start putting up Christmas Trees!
And if you think I am exaggerating, I can assure you I am not.  I want to get the most out of the holiday season and if that means putting trees (yes I said TreeS) then get out of my way, it’s happening!  This year I feel like we need to add some extra Christmas artwork to our walls, Santa is getting kind of lonely.  Since my pockets aren’t anywhere as deep as I wish they were, I am going to DIY a Farm Fresh Christmas Trees sign.

      Thank you! It’s a total game changer for me. I love building but sometimes it’s hard to get to the garage with littles under foot.
