I’ll show you how to make your own Christmas door hanger!

You only need a few supplies for this project! I love how quick, simple, and frugal this project was. And it looks so good!

Here’s the supplies you need to make your own Merry Christmas door hanger:

Supplies Needed:

15″ wood round project panel ($9 at Lowe’s)

White paint

Red paint

Black paint

Green paint

Gold paint

Silver paint

Wire edged burlap ribbon – Check Hobby Lobby 50% sale!

Christmas ribbon

Cricut machine – I used my Cricut Explore since this is a larger design.

Cricut mat

Vinyl (to make a stencil)

Transfer tape

Painter’s tape

Staple gun

Directions:

This design is ready to go in the Cricut projects tab. If you have Cricut Access, you can get this design for free. If not, you can quickly purchase the ready to go design.

1. Open Cricut Design Space

To start, open up Cricut Design Space.

2. Click New Project

Start a new project by clicking the New Project tab.

3. Find the design from the Projects tab

I found this design from the Projects tab in Cricut design space. I searched under Christmas and used the term “door sign” in the search bar.

If you have Cricut Access, this design is included.

4. Click Customize

Select the design and click customize.

5. Resize your design

Use the drag and drop feature and the built in ruler in design space to resize the design to fit your wood round board.

6. Click Make It

Once you have resized your image, click Make It.

7. Place your vinyl material on your cutting mat

Apply your vinyl material to the cutting mat.

8. Make your selections

Make the selections in Cricut Design Space when prompted if you are using a mat, and what kind of material you are cutting.

9. Upload the cutting mat into your machine

Upload the cutting mat into the machine.

10. Click Go

Click Go and let your Cricut machine do it’s work.

11. Unload the mat

Once the design is cut, unload the mat.

12. Weed the design

Remove the vinyl from the cutting mat, apply transfer tape to the whole design, and remove the vinyl backing.

Weed the design from the transfer tape.

This makes it a lot easier to apply the vinyl stencil to your wood board.

13. Paint your wood board white

Paint your wood board white, or whatever color you like.

You can do this before you make the design to save some time.

14. Place the design on your wood round board with transfer tape

Once your wood board is dry, place the design on top with the transfer tape.

Use a smoother to press the material to the wood, and gently remove the transfer tape from the vinyl.

This was the most time consuming part of the whole project for me – have patience!

15. Use painter’s tape to secure the edges of the vinyl stencil

You can use painter’s tape to secure the edges of the vinyl stencil and keep everything in place.

16. Paint the design

Once your stencil is in place, you are ready to paint the design.

Use this photo as a guide of what color to paint which areas.

17. Remove your vinyl stencil

Once you have everything painted in, pull your vinyl stencil off to reveal your beautiful design.

You can use your weeding tool to remove the small vinyl pieces.

18. Add a bow and hanger

I’m not great at making bows, but I just tied a couple small pieces of wired burlap ribbon and a couple pieces of Christmas ribbon together with twine. Then, I used my staple gun to secure the bow to my wood piece.

For the hanger part, I cut a piece of wired burlap ribbon and used the staple gun to attach the hanger to the back.

I’m so happy with how this project turned out! I’ve been wanting to make a wooden circle door hanger for a while. Now, I want to try some different designs! 🙂

This DIY Christmas wooden door hanger project was very simple and frugal, but I think it looks so nice and like it cost much more than $10!

The Cricut machine makes this project so easy, and having the design ready to go in the projects area made it super quick!

If you don’t have a Cricut cutting machine yet, I think you will love it and find so many projects to make with it! You can even make gifts or items to sell.

Or, you can always use this as inspiration to freehand paint your own sign!
