Vintage Christmas Truck DIY Ornament with Free SVG Cut File
Everywhere I look I seem to spot one of those cute vintage-style trucks with a Christmas tree sticking out of the back. They seem to be a beloved way to decorate, so I decided, why not make a cute SVG design and figure out a way to turn it into an ornament with 3D dimension?! For this vintage Christmas truck DIY, you will need a cutting machine and a few other supplies below.
You can use this as an ornament to decorate your tree with like I do or you could use this SVG in many other countless ways like a vinyl design. If you’re looking for some classic Christmas decor then this is a great project.

Step 3
To add the bottle brush tree bend the base at 90 degrees and use this as a place to glue the tree to the back of the truck. They should bend easily because they are typically made of wire. Press firmly till dry.
Optional
If desired, add some mini presents to the truck bed as well by gluing them to the backside.
Step 4
To finish the truck, and make it an ornament, create a loop from some ribbon or baker’s twine and glue it to the backside of the truck. If you are adding presents, it can be helpful to glue the twine between the present and the truck’s back.
Hang them on your tree!
How sweet and simple was that? I think I may use these as gift box toppers with some custom gift wrap as well! Join my community and find the free SVG for this vintage Christmas truck ornament project in my craft resource library under the holiday section.
