Create a simple and charming DIY glitter wood sign for the holidays. This customizable decoration adds a touch of sparkle to rustic wood and looks great anywhere in your home.
Want a quick and cute project for the holiday season? This small glittered wood sign is perfect. The glitter gives just the right amount of glam without overwhelming the wood grain. It uses only a few supplies and takes about 15 minutes to complete — leaving plenty of time for a cup of hot cocoa.
Most supplies can be found at craft stores or online. Pre-made wood signs make this project especially easy.
Materials needed
Gather the following items before you begin.
- Wood sign (pick a size that fits your chosen word)
- Glitter in your preferred color
- Adhesive or craft glue for applying glitter
- Wood glue for attaching the word to the sign
- Laser-cut word (pre-cut wooden or chipboard word)
- Ribbon or other embellishments (optional)
TIP – Use a shallow container or a lid with sides to hold the glitter while you coat the laser-cut word. It helps contain the mess and makes application easier.

Step By Step Instructions
Step 1 – Pour a generous line of glitter onto your work surface roughly the length of your word.
Step 2 – Apply adhesive to the front face of the laser-cut word in an even layer.
Step 3 – Press the glued side into the glitter so the particles stick. Turn the piece over to check coverage and add extra glitter by hand where needed. Allow the glittered word to dry completely before handling.
Step 4 – Spread a thin layer of wood glue on the back of the glittered word and press it onto the wood sign. Hold briefly or use a small clamp until it adheres.
Step 5 – Add ribbon or other embellishments if desired. A small bow or seasonal trim can enhance the finished look.
Depending on the sign size you choose, the finished piece can serve many purposes: display it on a mantel, hang it on a door, or attach it to a tree as a decorative ornament.
