Kringle’s Christmas Tree Truck is an Easy Holiday Dollar Tree Craft.

The Christmas Tree Truck is a fun and inexpensive craft to create with the family.

This project is easily adaptable to fit your color scheme and style. 

So have fun with it.  (I did!)

I only spent $3.75 at Dollar Tree and added a few items I had on hand.

(If you have to order them online, Dollar Tree has smaller quantities available for the truck.)

This is what I used:  (*affiliate links)

• MDF Wood Trucks Wall Plaque*

• StyleTechCraft Silver Adhesive Craft Vinyl*

Directions:

• Paint both sides of the Wood Trucks with acrylic paint.

Unless you are steady-handed and can paint a perfect circle, here’s a trick I used.

• Cut a circle the same size as the truck wheel. Cut the circle in half and use it as a mask to paint the top of the wheel. I used removable vinyl to cut my circle.

• I used StyleTechCraft Silver Adhesive Craft Vinyl* and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* to create and cut the graphics for the side of the truck. If you don’t have vinyl, you could always use letter stickers.  
• Use the vinyl pick tool to remove the excess vinyl from inside and around the letters.

• Cut a piece of Vinyl Transfer Tape* to fit over the vinyl words.  Gently rub over the transfer paper using the squeegee tool.  Lift the transfer tape to remove the vinyl from the white liner.

• Using the vinyl transfer tape, line up the words onto the side of the truck.   
• Gently rub over the vinyl transfer tape using the squeegee tool to make sure all the image has transferred.  
• Remove the transfer tape.

I added words to a plain ornament to create a “cut your own” sign.

• I used Wood Glue* to glue the truck.  I needed glue that would give me enough time to line up the box and still be sturdy enough to hold the weight.
• Allow time for the glue to dry before picking up the finished truck.

• Decorate the body of the truck using a craft pine stem as garland. 
• Glue small bows and beads onto the garland.

• When picking out the small rectangle box to use as the bed of the truck, I thought the star was perfect.
• Fill the bed of the truck with small Christmas Trees.

Kringle’s Christmas Tree Lot

You’ll need several mini trees to make a Christmas Tree Lot.

When I ordered the little trees at IKEA, I really hoped the trees would fit. 

I couldn’t be happier with the size.
