Paint and fall sign

Start by painting the sign. I chose to mix white paint with orange for my sign. It took a few coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry, to achieve full coverage.

Next, I painted the stem using a mixture of brown and white paint. Then, I added a shimmery green paint with a little white paint to the metal leaf. I used a smaller paintbrush to add some white paint to the lines of the leaf.

When working with the napkin, I began by cutting out my chosen design. I used a red autumn truck napkin design for my sign. After cutting it out, I removed the second layer. I then applied Mod Podge directly to the sign and napkin and used a heating tool to dry it.

Assorted fall decorations and adhesive

I used both E6000 and hot glue to attach the assorted fall leaves, flowers, and wooden letter blocks. This helps keep everything attached, especially when I hang it on my front door where it gets hot.

Wasn't that a simple makeover? I love that you can add your own fun design to any sign and give it a completely new look. It's so simple, and you can be as creative as you want!
