Christmas Truck with Ornaments
Make a Festive Red Christmas Truck with Ornaments Using Your Cricut!
If you love all things vintage and festive, then you’re going to have a blast with this project! The old red truck has been all the rage for the past few holiday seasons—and for good reason. It’s charming, nostalgic, and just plain cute! 🚗🎄
I was recently asked to design a red Christmas truck for the holidays, and I wanted to do something just a little different. So I put my crafty spin on it and created a Christmas Truck with Ornaments SVG that has a fun, festive twist. And guess what? You can make it two different ways—cut it out of card stock for a layered, dimensional decoration or use vinyl to make a holiday picture, sign, or even a gift!
🎨 What You’ll Need:
- My Christmas Truck with Ornaments SVG
- Red, green, silver, white, and black card stock (or any festive colors you like)
- Use some foil and glitter card stock to make it sparkle
- Adhesive or iron-on vinyl if you’re using the vinyl version
- A blank canvas, sign, shadow box, or card base (for vinyl or display)
- Barely Arts Glue and Foam Strips/Dots
- Your Cricut cutting machine
- Transfer tape (for vinyl)
- Design #131 in our free library
🎄 Two Fun Ways to Craft Your Truck
1. Layered Cardstock Version
Want something you can prop up on your shelf or turn into a holiday card? This version is for you!
Steps:
- Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space and choose the card stock version.
- Cut out each layer using colorful card stock—don’t be afraid to go bold with glitter or foil!
- Use glue or foam tape to layer each piece, giving it that beautiful dimensional look.
- You can mount it onto a card base, frame it, or just display it as-is for a festive touch anywhere in your home.
2. Vinyl Picture Version
Perfect for creating signs, wall art, or even customizing a gift bag or shirt!
Steps:
- Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space and select the vinyl version.
- Cut each part of the design from adhesive vinyl or iron-on vinyl.
- Use transfer tape to place the design onto a blank sign, canvas, or even a wood round.
- This makes an adorable gift or piece of holiday decor—and it looks super pro!
✂️ Crafty Tips:
- Add a little shimmer by using metallic vinyl or glitter cardstock for the ornaments.
- Want a snowy look? Use white textured paper or sprinkle a little faux snow onto the finished piece!
- Personalize the truck by adding a family name or year to the door.
