I am beyond ready for Fall to get here. It is the beginning of my favorite time of the year! Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Oh I can't wait. I decided to get ready by crafting a little.
I created a Harvest Sign! I love how it turned out am excited to pull out the rest of my Fall decor very shortly.
It was pretty simple to make. All you will need is:
-mod podge
-scrapbook paper
-wooden circles (5in)
-ribbon
-hot glue
- foam sheet
-paint
-foam brush
I started by painting the back side of the wooden circles orange using a foam brush. I gave them 2 coats just to make sure they were completely covered even though no one will see the back (make sure to paint the edges those will be seen).
I had selected 6 different patterns of scrapbook paper to cover my wooden circles with. I traced the wooden circles on the scrapbook paper and then cut out the circles. Use a foam sponge to apply Mod Podge to the wooden circe before placing the scrapbook paper on top. Once the paper is one apply another layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper. I allowed the Mod Podge to dry for a couple of hours before I added the letters.
I printed letters out from my computer and placed them on the foam sheet I had purchased to create the letters. I cut them out using scissors and an X-acto knife. (If you have another way of cutting out letters I'm always open for suggestions) I was happy enough with the way the letters turned out, but they weren't perfect but thats ok =)
The last step was to attach the ribbon that the sign is hung on. I chose a 1 1/2 inch orange ribbon with a wire edge. I hot glued the top of the ribbon to create a loop to hang the sign. Then I hot glued the wooden circles to the ribbon. Finally I added a bow around the top loop.
And here is the completed sign!
Happy Crafting!
Hope fall comes soon...
Let me know of any fun crafts you all are working on!
