Create an Easy Fall Sign: DIY Tutorial with Faux Leaves and Thankful Design

 Learn how to create a beautiful fall sign with faux leaves and a thankful design in this easy DIY tutorial. Get creative with this fun craft project for the autumn season.

I am thrilled to share with you an easy craft that involves making a wonderful fall sign using faux fall leaves and a beautiful thankful design. I used a decorative napkin that I had purchased earlier from Hobby Lobby for the thankful design.

 The faux leaves used in this craft are from a wonderful fall party confetti pack that I also bought from Hobby Lobby. This pack consists of 300 assorted fall leaves, which means I will be using more of these wonderful leaves in other crafts too. If you are interested, I would love to take you through the process I used to create my wonderful fall sign.

Materials

Assorted faux fall leaves

One floral craft ring (The size I am using is 6inches)

One decorative napkin

Paintbrush

One wooden pumpkin

Acrylic paint

Twine

Wooden Pumpkin

Mod Podge

Mini iron

Adding the napkin to the wooden pumpkin

To make your own fall sign, follow these simple steps. First, remove the second layer from the napkin and cut out the desired portion for your design. Then, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the wooden pumpkin using a paintbrush. Place the decorative napkin over the Mod Podge and use a craft iron covered with parchment paper to gently press over the napkin. Use a sanding block to remove any excess paper.


Applying paint and faux leaves to floral craft ring

Next, customize the color of the floral craft ring by applying acrylic paint. Use hot glue to attach the wooden pumpkin to the bottom of the ring. Then, add faux leaves to the craft ring, placing three leaves on each side.


Adding twine and bow

If you'd like to add a bow, create one using twine, and secure it by making a loop. This will serve as a hanger for your sign.


Your fall sign is now ready! This is a simple and enjoyable craft, so let me know if you decide to create your own. Thank you for visiting and crafting with me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    So pretty :) I think I'd add some twinkle lights, of course there might not be anywhere to hide the batteries. Thanks so much for linking up at the #UnlimitedLinkParty 132. Pinned.

      Thank you, Dee. Twinkle lights would look pretty displayed on this sign. I love that idea. :) I think I would tape the battery pack behind the sign.

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...
