How to make
Gather your supplies and choose your colour scheme.
Paint your sleigh in one overall paint colour and allow to dry.
Paint on some snowy details using white paint.
Paint on some holly or foliage decoration – you might like to use your fineliner pen to draw these on first before painting.
Add some little red berries to your holly using the end of your paintbrush.
Using your fineliner pen, add some detail on to your leaves for definition.
If you'd like to personalise, you could either hand-paint the name directly onto the sleigh, or use a Cricut machine to help you with this. Open the Cricut Design Space app and type your name in your chosen font.
If using, cut out your name using Cricut Stencil Vinyl.
Weed out your letters, ready to use as a stencil.
Add your stencil vinyl onto the sleigh.
Paint over your stencil.
Remove your stencil and allow everything to dry.
