Craft Basics· Fall· Wood

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashedSupplies needed to make your own DIY pallet sign:ClickLinks1

  • Wood Pallet Sign
  • Tim Holtz Spray Stain
  • Americana Decor Chalky Paint in White
  • White Chalk
  • Pencil or Ball Point Pen
  • Paint Brushes
  • Pumpkins Printable Sign Template

  • Paper Towel

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-4Step one. Begin by spraying the entire pallet sign with spray stain. Be sure to protect work surface from over spray.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-5Step two. Use a foam brush to even out the stain spray if necessary.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6Step three. Mix one part chalk paint and one part water to make a whitewash.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Step four. Lightly streak the DIY pallet sign with the whitewash.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-8Step five. Use a paper towel to blot and smudge the paint until the desired effect is achieved.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-9Step six. Let the paint sit until the wood is dry to the touch, about one hour.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-10Step seven. Print the pumpkins sign template on regular copy paper. This sign is larger than a standard 8.5 x 11 inch sized sheet of paper, so print it twice and tape the two sides together to capture the entire image.

Rub the back side of the copy paper with chalk. Be sure to get a thick, even layer everywhere there is print.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11Step eight. Center the paper on top of the DIY pallet sign, then trace over the lines with a pencil or ball point pen. Push firmly to ensure a neat transfer.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-12When you remove the paper, the chalk will transfer the image outline onto the wood!

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-13Step nine. Use a fine tip paint brush and chalk paint to fill in the farm fresh pumpkins design.

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-14And that’s all it takes to create this vintage-inspired DIY pallet sign!

DIY-pallet-sign-autumn-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1We’re keeping the fall fun going with this DIY fall decor floral and burlap canvas!

    I loved the chalk transfer method, I am going to try it today. I have been fighting with my copier and my Word program to get the mirror image I needed to transfer. After hours of frustration I got one printed, but I really don’t know how I did it sooooo….. The chalk method sounds so much better. I will let you know. Beth

    My sign printed on 1 sheet of paper, is there a setting increase the size of the size to print larger – sorry up all night nursing and cannot think. 🙂 Fun and adorable project I can’t wait to create!

    Your template printed out smaller than was stated. It is also not in outline form. Do you have another template?

    I love your transfer method! I’ve always used carbon transfer paper but it can get expensive and a pain. I’m going to give the chalk a shot on my next project!

      Thanks Matt! That’s exactly why I use this method… it’s so much cheaper than stencils or transfer paper. 🙂
