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.
