Quick & Easy DIY Fall Sign

In: DECORATING, Decorating Tips & Tricks, DIY Decorating Projects, Fall Decorating Ideas & Projects

Here is a quick and easy Fall DIY project using a few items from the Walmart craft aisle.

I needed some sort of Fall sign to hang above my entryway mirror.

Yes, I have approximately 8 zillion signs down in my workshop but I just didn’t have the “right” one. I looked around in the stores but didn’t see anything that caught my eye. I figured I would DIY a Fall sign so I could make what I wanted.

How to Make an Easy Sign for Fall

white wood plaque sign and letters

In the Walmart craft section. I found a whitewashed scallop plaque that was the perfect size to hang above my mirror, and under $10 and whitewash letters that were $1 each.

I bought F, A,L, and another L … can you see where I’m going with this??!

The plaque looked great the way it was. It had a cool finish and was the perfect amount of distress. But the letters…well, they needed a little pizzazz!

Paint the FALL letters

wood letters spelling FALL painted copper

I painted the FALL letters with copper chalk paint, a copper acrylic paint would do the same job.

After I painted the letters copper, I thought that a bit of faux verdigris would look cool and add a bit of detail and pop to my sign.

I added just a light touch of teal paint on the sides of the letters.

I used a drybrush technique where I dipped the brush in my paint and then brushed most of the paint off onto a paper towel leaving just a small amount on the paintbrush.

Putting the Fall sign Together

I used a level to place the letters on the board straight…I thought of just eyeballing it but I just knew I would end up with a wonky letter on there!!

Once they were level, I used my hot glue gun to attach them to the plaque.

Wanting to stay with the rustic look, I used a small piece of nautical rope and stapled it onto the back of the plaque to use as a hanger.

Finished Sign

I hung it above my entryway mirror ( the mirror was a free find at my old town dump…a lady was throwing it away and I saved it; it used to be a hideous green color)

Everything came together to make this Fall entryway warm and cozy looking. First I DIY’d the Fall Vase, Then I put together the Fall Tray, and I finished it up with the DIY Fall sign.

All on a small budget too…woo hoo!!
