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.

Two good scents- Review & giveaway

 (Review and giveaway)- Two Good Scents  Sugar Scrubs These days I'm feeling very pregnant. So when the chance comes along to pamper myself, I'm definitely up for it. We can all use some pampering from time to time. :) I was contacted by Nancy over at http://www.twogoodscents.com/. She kindly offered to send me some of her products in exchange for a fair review of the items I get. No other compensation was provided for this review.  I received my products in a padded envelope stuffed with decorative tissue paper.  The containers were well-padded to protect the plastic containers.  After opening up the package, I took out the sealed jars, which had a professional look along with cute labels.  I opened each of them, one at a time.  My initial reactions were to the scents of the scrubs.  My personal favorite was the blossom scrub, which was reminiscent of a nice, clean, soft, flowery soap bar.  The others I received w...

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share this easy upcycling project with you. We'll be making place cards by repurposing cardboard.
