There are a variety of different ways to use these Christmas sayings to make cute or funny holiday signs.
One idea is to use hand lettering to create your own art. You can also use hand lettering techniques with chalk on a chalkboard.
Another idea is letter boards. You can find them in so many different shapes, sizes, and colors. I recommend getting neutral-colored boards in the sizes you’d use most often (perhaps one larger and one smaller).
You can also create printable art using programs like Word, Canva, or Picmonkey. Or break out your vinyl cutting machine and customize things like frames, mugs, journals, and more. (This is a great gift idea!)
If you want to use some Christmas sayings in your bullet journal, you can use them as monthly cover pages, quote page, or use the shorter phrases throughout your monthly layout.
