Sanding block and faux window decor

Before applying paint, I had to sand down my faux window decoration from a previous craft. I started by removing the old paint using a sanding block to take off the chips.

Then, I used a paintbrush to apply a new coat of cream-colored paint.

After that, I removed the second layer of the napkin and used scissors to cut out the design for the faux window.

Next, I applied Mod Podge to the faux window using a paintbrush and placed the designs over it. I then applied another layer of Mod Podge over the designs. 

I added faux leaves and a bow by clipping them with a metal clip for the finishing touches.

 That's how I completed my fall faux window decor. I'm happy that I could transform an old project into a completely new look for the fall season! Thank you for joining me for this quick and easy DIY project. I'll see you soon.

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...

The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one.
