Directions:
- Paint the Mini Crate* with brown acrylic paint.
- To give the crate an aged look, dry brush the edges with black acrylic paint. Wipe off any extra paint with a damp rag.
- Seal the crate using Mod Podge Gloss*. (This makes the crate look like it has been varnished.)
- Cut a piece of foam to fit inside of the crate.
- Paint the foam with black acrylic paint.
- Cut the carrots from the garland.
- Poke holes into the foam that are large enough for the tips of the carrots to fit down into.
- Hot glue the tips of the carrots in the holes.
- Cut a small piece of white matboard that will fit onto the side of the crate.
- For a distressed look, gently rub Vintage Photo Distress Ink* onto the edges of the matboard with an Ink Blending Tool*.
- For the lettering on the sign, I used StyleTechCraft Orange, Brown, and Olive Glossy Craft Vinyl*.

- I used a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die-Cutting Machine* to size and create my design.
- Cut the design using StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl*.
- Remove the excess vinyl in and around the lettering using a StyleTechCraft Weeding Tool*.
- Use the StyleTechCraft Transfer Tape* to transfer the design to the matboard.
- Gently rub over the transfer tape with a Vinyl Scraper Tool* and carefully remove transfer tape from the design.
- Continue adding the additional pieces of the sign. (Did you know that the transfer tape is reusable?)
- Add a couple strips of double-sided foam tape* to the back of the matboard.
