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.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...
