DIY Hello Fall Welcoming Sign

DIY Hello Fall Welcoming Sign

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Hi everyone, it has been a whirlwind of a week here in the Sanchez house and it’s only Wednesday.  With all the prepping for holidays projects, kids football games, and school events.  It’s non stop.  But I LOVE it!

Of course I’ve been getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. It has to look perfect. So one of my last Fall home projects is this DIY Fall Welcoming Sign for your front entry way.  It’s a nice welcoming sign for my friends and family to see when they walk in the door and enter my front living room.

If you follow my blog then you know I’m all about a DIY Sign project for the house.   I went and counted and I’ve done 19 sign projects on my blog.  I really think I should make a quick round up post for everyone.  I’ll add that to my to-do list for sure!

So onto the project!

DIY Hello Fall Sign Supplies:

  • Cameo 3
  • Vinyl
  • Transfer Tape
  • Paint
  • Wood Shadow Box

DIY Hello Fall Welcoming Sign

Step 1 – Paint Shadow Box

I went through my wood supply stash and found this shadow box that has been sitting for awhile now.  I really needed to finally use it.  I grabbed some white acrylic paint and paint gel stain.  I painted the edges first with the stain, then went around the rest with the white acrylic paint.

Step 2 – Find Stencil

After searching the Silhouette library I found the perfect design for my Fall sign. That was probably the hardest part!  I was able to go in a mess the the color theme that I wanted to use.

Step 3 – Cut and Weed Stencil

Next I cut my stencil with vinyl on blade setting 1 with my Cameo 3.

Then I weeded it.  Now I have the PERFECT stencil for this project!

Step 4 – Add Transfer Tape

To add your stencil you are going to need to put some transfer tape on top. I cut the transfer tape to size. I added to the top, then peeled the back off.

Step 5 – Add Stencil

Now you can add your stencil to the shadow box. Since the back is sticky is will stay put while you add your paint.

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
