Autumn Pumpkins DIY Pallet Sign

Fall is just around the corner and this year, why not get a jump on making a few new decorations for the upcoming season? This autumn pumpkins DIY pallet sign is simple to make and will add just the right touch of rustic charm to your fall decor.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY pallet sign:

• 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
  • Page One
  • Page Two
• Paper Towel

Step one. Begin by spraying the entire pallet sign with spray stain. Be sure to protect work surface from over spray.

Step two. Use a foam brush to even out the stain spray if necessary.

Step three. Mix one part chalk paint and one part water to make a whitewash.

Step four. Lightly streak the DIY pallet sign with the whitewash.

Step five. Use a paper towel to blot and smudge the paint until the desired effect is achieved.

Step six. Let the paint sit until the wood is dry to the touch, about one hour.

Step 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.

Step 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.

When you remove the paper, the chalk will transfer the image outline onto the wood!

Step nine. Use a fine tip paint brush and chalk paint to fill in the farm fresh pumpkins design.

And that’s all it takes to create this vintage-inspired DIY pallet sign!
