Hello, everyone! Today, I am going to demonstrate a simple way to repurpose your old bamboo serving tray into a festive Christmas sign. By following this creative DIY project, you can add a touch of holiday cheer to your home decor. To begin with, I will provide a list of materials you will need for this project.

Materials
One wooden bamboo sign
Decorative napkin
Bead or pearl embellishments
Holiday greenery
Mod Podge
Optional-Mini iron for applying decorative napkin
Paintbrush
Hot glue
Sanding and applying paint
As my bamboo board was from a previous project, I decided to sand down the paint. As I sanded, I liked the finish underneath the top paint surface. So, I decided to keep this look as it had a bit of a worn-out look, which I wanted for my sign. In case your wooden board does not have any paint, this is when you will want to apply paint to your board.
Adding Mod Podge and decorative napkin
Once you have painted or sanded down your wooden board, it's time to start adding your Mod Podge and decorative napkin. First, take your decorative napkin, remove the second layer of the napkin, and then apply a small layer of Mod Podge to the center of your wooden board using a paintbrush.
Though I prefer using the iron-on technique when working with Mod Podge, you can use any technique of your choice. Place your decorative napkin over the Mod Podge surface, take your parchment paper, and place it over the napkin. After your iron is heated, gently go over the parchment paper. Once you remove the paper, the decorative napkin should be smooth and free of wrinkles. I then added a second coat of Mod Podge over the napkin and used my blow dryer to dry it.
Attaching greenery and embellishments
Next, take your greenery and other embellishments, and start adding them. I decided to add greenery around the outer area of my sign, and I used hot glue for this. I also took some pearl embellishments and added them to the decorative napkin design.

Your decorative Christmas sign is now complete. Wasn't that a simple project? I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It can be displayed alongside any existing holiday decor. Thank you all so much for stopping by and creating with me. I appreciate all of you.
