DIY | Let it Snow wood sign
November 10th means it’s HOP TIME!! Every tenth of the month we share 10 theme’d ideas with some of our favorite blog buddies. It’s so fun to pick a theme and see where our projects, crafts and recipes end up. Sometimes we have the same (this month we have 2 yummy snowball cookie recipes, one is stuffed) and along with our Let it Snow sign, there is another colorful version. Different styles to choose from, gotta love it. Hope you dig this fun winter sign, we love our vinyl cutter! Be sure to visit all of our 9 pals snowflake ideas just under the collage pic, you’ll love them!

iI love this project but would appreciate more details about two key elements. The how to of the stencils for both the snowflake and the lettering. I saw the website for the fonts but still don’t know how to make that all happen.
Hi Cathy,
When you download fonts to your computer, you now have access to create signs like ours. So you need a machine to help you out. If you don’t have a vinyl cutter, our friend Marni can cut for you: [email protected] We use an industrial cutter so we can cut 24″ x however long we need. If you have a Cricut, here are the basics: http://us.cricut.com/home/learn/software/design-space/ If you have a Silhouette, here are the basics: http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/learn
Hope that helps!! (:
Super cute as always girls!
I’m curious what color blue acrylic paint you used? It’s lovely. I plan to create something similar using snowflake shape files I purchased for my Silhouette Cameo. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hi Jennifer,
It’s DecoArt ‘Desert Turquoise’ thanks for catching that!

Can you tell me the size of the let it snow board. Also, what type of wood is it?
Thanks!
Hi Misti,
It’s a pressed plywood, we snagged it at Home Depot. The wood is 24″ x 18″. The snowflake is 10″ and the wording is 3″ x 14″.
Thanks!
