Fall Decor: Dollar Tree Fall Pumpkin Sign

 

This week's BFF Open House Link Party continues here.

Getting a few Fall projects done before I start on Christmas. I found this blank sign at Dollar Tree and thought it would be a perfect Fall project. 

Supplies: 

• Embossed Pumpkin Sign (Dollar Tree)
• Acrylic Paints (Michaels)
• Sponge Spouncer Brushes (Dollar Tree)
• Glitter Acorns (Dollar Tree)
• Self-Adhesive Wallpaper (Dollar Tree)
• Misc Embellishments (Stash)

This is the unfinished sign. I used paints in Copper, Gold (Craft Smart), and Metallic Berry (DecoArt), along with a Ceramcoat Grape (not shown). 

Using a sponge or sponge spouncer, apply the paints all over. I just kept spouncing and blending and picking up colors until I was happy. 

Once I was happy with the base, time to embellish! 

Dollar Tree has these fabulous sheets of self-adhesive wallpaper. I've picked up a bunch without a specific project in mind, but knowing they'd get used SOMETIME! I grabbed this gold and white patterned paper to use at the top of the sign. 

Using the sign, I traced the arc on the back of the wallpaper, cut it out and applied to the top of the sign. 

The maple leaf charms are ones I'd stocked up on YEARS ago when Michaels first had their dollar spot. I glued these across the bottom of the wallpaper as shown. This season, Dollar Tree has these glitter acorns in the color shown, as well as a brilliant Fall orange, so I grabbed some for this project. Likewise, Dollar Tree has packages of sequins, and I got a Fall colored set. Each color is packaged individually in a set of six, but I just dumped them all together. 

I used these to decorate the stem of the pumpkin, and added coordinating glitter to the vines. 

I added a few to other spots on the pumpkin as shown. To finish, I made a bow from some coordinating glitter ribbon and then added the acorns. 

This is a preview of my color palette for Fall and Thanksgiving decor. After Halloween comes down of course!
