A Tender Tennessee Christmas with Deer and Pine Trees Lighted Decoration
Instruction
Information
I wanted a TN Christmas sign for my shelf in the living room. I used battery operated lights and an easel from Dollar Tree.
I'm working on other versions as well.
I do not remember the exact time it took to process and assemble. I did not do it all in one go. I put 60 min just as a guess. It was not a difficult or long process.
Instruction
Step1: Open in XCS and cut out the project
Cut out the project using XCS.
Measure your light tips and adjust the size of the stars if needed.
Step2: Paint and assemble
Paint- I mixed different shades of green for the trees and brown gel stain for the deer and letters. For the deer, I watered the stain down a bit. Background is just painted white.
Glue the letters on- it's scored, so it's very easy to line up.
Glue on the trees, deer, and grass- in that order.
Step3: Add lights & then display!
The 10 light led strand of lights from the Dollar Tree is what I used here. I pre-measured the light tips so I knew they would fit. Make sure to do that before cutting so you know your lights will fit. I used tape to hold it in place. I'm sure there are prettier ways to do that, but it works for me. I suppose you could put a hanger on it as well, if you didn't want it in a shelf. Mine is on a small easel.
