Spray paint in white & metallic gold
painters tape
sanding block
stencil or reindeer cut out from your silhouette machine
red chunky glitter
pen for tracing
Small paint brush
I was in a hurry to get this done so I didn't snap a before picture. Sorry!
First I spray painted it with Valspar's white primer and let that completely dry. I think I did 2 coats.
Then I taped the striped on about every inch to inch and a half.

I pulled the tape off and then brought it inside.
I lighted sanded the edges giving it a distressed look.
Place little ol prancer, dasher or Rudolph on top to trace. (Whatever you want to name him. Heck, even little Rudy the reindeer!)
Trace it with a pen. I have to point out that I actually write with my right hand but for the sake of all things DIY I had to show you how I traced it! I can't snap a picture with my left!
Now your done tracing do remove the cut out.
Time for some paint!
It took me 2-3 coats and I laid it on thick so the glitter would stick.
Pour then pour some glitter, covering every inch of Rudy!
Then shake shake shake it off! Oh Oh Oh Oh. (OK, I just had to sing that!)
Let it dry completely and let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
I had everything on hand except the sign so it cost me $2.99!

This is so cute! Just wanted to add a tip, mix a little Elmer's glue in with the paint to get the glitter to stick even better.
