31 *HIGH END* Fall DIY's | Budget Friendly Farmhouse Fall Decor

hi everyone and welcome to my channel today i have a mega fall inspirational video where i share all of my fall diys so far here on my channel keep in mind that this is all of my fall videos put together so they are labeled a little bit out of order i hope you enjoyed today's video and now let's get right into it [Music] for diy number one i'm making a raffia pumpkin wreath and for this one i just started out with the 10 inch wreath form from dollar tree and some of the raffia and i did cut the raffia down about half of the length that it comes in because it is really long i then started tying the raffia around the wreath form and then i tied it once and then i was like ah this probably isn't going to stay in place very well so i did a knot on each piece of raffia that i'm going to be tying around my wreath form i then continued that same step just taking some strips of raffia tying them around my wreath form and then making sure that they are knotted as well and then to hold them into place a little bit better i started by putting hot glue right onto the wreath form and then just pressing my strips of raffia that i've made with a knot onto the glue to make sure that they don't move around i then just continued that step over and over again of tying strips of raffia around my wreath form and then attaching them with some hot glue until i had my entire wreath form covered in raffia after i was all done tying on all the strips of raffia i did go through with some scissors and trim up the really long pieces some of them were extremely long and my wreath was looking super messy so i needed to trim those up a little bit and for the pieces that i'm trimming off i did end up using those to fill in some of the spaces that you could see my wreath form so i just bent those pieces in half and then just poked them in like all the spaces where you could see the wreath form and i attached those pieces using some hot glue [Music] now i'm taking some of these pumpkins with clips on them and i'm just taking the clips and the stems right off of the pumpkins i am using four of these pumpkins for this wreath and they do come in packs of three so i did use two packs of pumpkins for this and i'm painting them with the waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and to speed up the process a little bit i would paint half of the pumpkin with the ivory color and then i used my hair dryer to dry the paint and then once the paint was dry then i would just paint the other side of the pumpkin and then use my hair dryer once again to dry that paint it made the process so much faster so if you have like a little fan or a hair dryer and want to get this project done really quick i highly suggest using one of those and i did go ahead and do two coats of paint on all four of these pumpkins then i'm taking some of the waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut on a really small paintbrush and i'm painting this color in all of the grooves of the pumpkin this is going to give my pumpkin some more detail and give them a more realistic look and i am doing this to all four of the pumpkins that i painted with that ivory color next i'm taking these a pumpkins that come on a stick these obviously are also from dollar tree and i'm painting them with the folk art chalk paint in the color sage i am using five of these pumpkins for my wreath and they come in packs of five which is really great i did two coats of paint on all five of these pumpkins and i did the same process as i did with my other pumpkins only since these ones are on a stick i didn't have to paint just half of the pumpkin i could paint the whole thing at one time and then i dried it really fast with my hair dryer once that paint was all dry i then went in with the waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut and added that to all of the grooves around my pumpkin and then once i had the hazelnut color on i wanted to add a little bit of that ivory color on the pumpkin as well so i just dry brush the ivory color in between like all of the grooves of the pumpkin and then on the top and the bottom of all five of the pumpkins these pumpkins do have two sticks there's a top stick and a bottom stick the bottom one i just pulled out of all of the pumpkins and then the top one i left in for the stem of my pumpkin and then i painted those with that waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut now that i have all of my pumpkins painted i'm placing the stems back into the ones that i painted the ivory color and i had a little bit of wet paint on my hands so here i'm just touching up the stems with the hazelnut color wherever i just accidentally got paint on that you saw me do here and i am leaving the clips off of those pumpkins and now i'm going to be making the bow for my wreath i'm using some of this burlap ribbon from dollar tree and i'm cutting three strips a large medium and small and then i'm hot gluing the ends of the strip together to form a circle i did not measure all three of the strips that i cut i just kind of go with however long i think i want my bow to be and then i cut a large medium and small piece and then just make those into circles for the large one that you see me have here i just folded that in half and i'm having the loops facing downward for the medium ribbon that i cut i folded that one in half as well and i'm having the loops facing upward and then for the small one i'm just placing that right in the center and then bunching that up in the center of that piece then i'm taking some cotton cord i believe this cotton cord is from hobby lobby it might be from michael's but i'm pretty sure it's from hobby lobby i'm tying that around several times in the middle of my bow and then i'm just taking the ends of that tying those off on the back side and then i'm using a little bit of hot glue to hold all of the cotton cord into place then to attach my burlap bow i'm taking some hot glue and i'm placing it on the front side of my wreath form right over top of the raffia and then placing my bow over top of the glue and i did hold that bow into place until the glue dried and then taking all of my pumpkins and i'm placing them on the front of my wreath to get an idea of where i want to attach them then to attach them i just took some hot glue placed it on the back side of each pumpkin and then placed it right down on top of the raffia and i held each pumpkin into place until the glue was dry so that they didn't move around then for the last step i'm creating my hanger and for my hanger i just used a double piece of jute i made it into the length that i want my hanger to be tied that off in a knot and then i'm hot gluing that on the top back side of my wreath form here is my raffia pumpkin wreath all finished i think it turned out super cute and even better it was easy and inexpensive to create i've seen reads similar to this at michael's and joanne fabrics and they are way more expensive than what it took for me to create this one now moving right on into diy number two i'm making potted pumpkins for this one i took this harvest blessings hanging sign from dollar tree and i started by painting it with the waverly chalk paint in the color ivory i did paint the front and the sides of this sign for the front i did three coats of the paint and then for the sides i did two coats the front had the words on it so it just took an extra coat to get those all covered up once all of my paint was dry i then took my craft smart wood stain in the color brown and i used an old towel to apply it to the front and all of the sides of this sign i did apply it really muscly because i wanted this piece to have a really rustic look to it after the wood stain dried i then took my waverly chalk paint in the color java and i dry brushed that around all of the sides and then just a tiny bit on the front side of this piece next i moved on to my pots and i'm taking that same craft smart wood stain in the color brown on an old towel and i'm wiping it just kind of randomly all over all three pots these are the small pots from dollar tree and they do come in a pack of three and i'm using all three of them for this project and i did put some of that stain along the inside edge of my pots as well once the stain was all dry i then took my folk art chalk paint in the color java on an old chip brush and i started just dabbing that color over top of the stain and this is going to give my pots a really nice textured look once the java colored paint was all dry i then took the waverly paint in the color ivory on a chip brush as well and i just dabbed that over top of the stain and the java color this is going to give my pot even more texture and give me the really nice distressed look that i'm going for now moving on to my pumpkins i'm using three of these pumpkins with clips on them and i'm just removing the clips and the stems from all of the pumpkins these do come in a pack of three at dollar tree and they have them in this like creamy color and then they also have them in orange i did not have the orange ones so i'm painting mine orange myself and the color that i'm using is from waverly and it is the color pumpkin i just painted all three of those pumpkins with this pumpkin color chalk paint and i did two coats of this paint on all of them then i took my waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut and i just really messily painted all three of the stems with this color paint then i'm taking that same hazelnut colored paint on a small paintbrush and i'm just kind of like dry brushing that color in all of the grooves of the pumpkin this is going to give my pumpkin a little bit more dimension and make it look somewhat more realistic after the paint on my pumpkins was all dry i then put the stems back into all three pumpkins next i'm assembling my stand i'm taking all three of the pots that i painted and i'm placing them on the front of the sign that i painted and i'm just making sure that those are all centered and spaced out exactly how i want them and then i'm just taking some hot glue and i'm placing it on the bottom of each pot and then just setting that back down into place now i'm taking some spanish moss and i'm placing a little amount of this in each one of my pots i'm also using some raffia i took strips of raffia and i just cut them down into really small pieces and then i'm placing those small pieces in each one of my pots right on top of the spanish moss i'm then placing my pumpkins on the tops of my pots and i'm taking that spanish moss and raffia that's in each one of my pots and i'm just pulling it out around the pumpkin a little bit so that you can see it to add some more detail to my pots i'm taking some of this buffalo check ribbon that i picked up from hobby lobby they do have similar ribbon to this at dollar tree but i already had this one on hand and i just measured it around the underneath the lip of my pot and then i'm cutting three strips of it and then taking some hot glue and just attaching it to the underneath lip of each one of my pots next i'm painting some wood letters that spell out the word fall these ones are from hobby lobby but they do have wood letters also at dollar tree again i just had these ones on hand so i just used what i already had and i'm painting them with the waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and i only had to do one coat of paint on all of my letters once the paint on my letters was all dry i then started attaching them to the front side of my stand i just placed hot glue on the back side of each letter and then just set it down into place where i wanted it to be because i wanted to add a little bit more detail to my stand i decided to use some of these a wood leaf stickers that i picked up from dollar tree last year and i'm painting them with the waverly paint in the color ivory and then once i had all that ivory color on and it was all dry i then took some of my folk art chalk paint in the color moss and i just very very lightly painted that on the front of both leaves i just wanted these leaves to have a little bit more detail to them so i just painted them this way and i did really like this green color then for the stems i used the waverly paint in the color hazelnut and then to attach the leaves i used some hot glue on the backside of both of them and then just place them down in between my pots here are my potted pumpkins all finished this project again was super easy and inexpensive to create this would be the perfect fall piece on top of a mantel or used as tabletop decor now for the third and final diy today i'm making a welcome pumpkin sign for this one i took these unfinished wooden pumpkins they do come in a pack of five and since i'm going to be using seven of them i did have to use two packs of them and i took some a wood filler and i wanted to fill the holes that were in all of the pumpkins so i just put a small amount of wood filler in all of the holes on all seven pumpkins after the wood filler was all dry i then used a small piece of sandpaper and just sanded off all of the extra wood filler that was still on there so that i had a nice smooth surface for all of my pumpkins next i'm painting all of my pumpkins and the color i'm using is from waverly and it's the chalk paint in the color pumpkin i only had to paint one coat of paint on each one of them then for all of the stems i used my folk art chalk paint in the color java next i wanted to give my pumpkins a little bit more detail so i'm taking my waverly paint in the color ivory on a small paintbrush and i'm just making the outlines of like where the grooves of a pumpkin would be and then i'm painting that same color around all of the outside edges of all seven of my pumpkins now that i have all of my pumpkins painted i'm moving on to painting my unfinished wooden letters these ones are from dollar tree and i'm using the letters that spell out the word welcome the paint color i'm using on them is the waverly and the color ivory once again and i only did one coat of paint on each letter now it's time to assemble everything together i'm just taking all of my wood letters and i'm placing them in the center of all of my pumpkins i like to do this beforehand before i start gluing everything down just so i can have an idea of where everything needs to be once i had them all set where i wanted them to be i just put some hot glue on the backside of each letter and then just placed it back down into place on top of my pumpkin now i'm going to be attaching all of my pumpkins together i flipped all of the pumpkins over to their back side and you want to make sure that you keep the letters in order because there's nothing worse than attaching them and then flipping it over and your word being misspelled and then to attach them together i'm using this cotton cord from hobby lobby and i'm just placing the hot glue on the back side of my pumpkin and then attaching the cotton cord to the hot glue and i'm just doing that on each side of the pumpkin with the cotton cord and i'm continuing this step all the way around each side of the pumpkins this is my a welcome pumpkin sign all finished i ended up placing mine just on a shepherd's pole out front and i think it turned out super cute and it could not have been an easier project for diy number one i'm making a pedestal crate for this one i used a mini wooden crate from dollar tree and i started by applying the craft smart wood stain in the color brown with an old towel and i just applied that stain to all of the sides of the crate i also did the inside of the crate and then also the bottom side of the crate after the stain was all dry i then went in with my waverly chalk paint in the color ivory on a smaller paintbrush and i just started by dry brushing that color around all of the top edges of my crate and then i just continued that same dry brushing technique on all of the rest of the crate next i'm taking four of these wooden finial caps i picked these ones up from walmart they did come in a pack they had this size and then also a smaller size ones as well but i'm taking these ones and i'm painting them with that same waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and i only did one coat of paint on all four of the caps now it's time to assemble my crate i'm taking the finial caps and i'm placing them on the bottom side of my wood crate just to get them in place before i start hot gluing them down i took the hot glue just placed it on the bottom side of the cap and then just pressed the cap back into place on my wood crate i found some of these word sayings in the target dollar spot i'm going to be using the one that says hello fall to attach it to my crate i'm placing hot glue onto the back side and then just pressing that right down in the center on one of the sides of the crate next i'm placing some spanish moss inside of my wood crate i did use some scissors to cut the moss down a little bit so that it was easier to work with i also put some raffia on top of that spanish moss and then i'm using some of these pumpkins that i picked up from walmart this had eight different pumpkins in it for 298 and i just love the color of all of these pumpkins i just put all of them on top of the spanish moss and the raffia to complete my project here is my pedestal crate all finished i'm so happy with how this one turned out and it could not have been an easier project i'm really loving the greens and whites for fall this year it goes perfect with all of my home decor now moving into diy number two i'm making a thankful sign for this one i'm using one of these square dollar tree signs this one already had this a gather word in the middle of it but it's already popped off which is perfect because i wanted to have it not attached and then i really liked the outside color of this since it was already like a distressed white but i did want to have the front edges have a little bit more white color on them so i'm taking my waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and just kind of not dry brushing but painting that color just randomly all over those front edges to give them more of a little bit of white color after my paint was all dry i then took a screwdriver and took off the back hanger that was on this sign i needed it to be off for when i pop out the back side of this sign to pop it out i just used some pressure with my thumbs and it came out very very easily i just mainly put the pressure around all of the edges of the sign next i'm using the square backing for my sign is a guide to help me trace out this fabric i'm just placing it onto the side of the fabric and i am leaving a little bit of space on the side of it because i'm going to want my fabric to be overlapping so i'm just using a pen to trace that out and this fabric i did pick up from walmart it came as a fat quarter and i just really loved the print on this and i believe it was only a dollar 47. once i had everything all traced out then i just used my scissors to cut the square of my fabric now i'm going to be attaching my fabric to the backing of my sign as you can see i do have the overlap of the fabric on each side of the sign and this is just going to be really easy for me to fold the fabric over the back of the sign to attach it i just placed hot glue around all four sides of the back of the sign and then folded the fabric over onto the hot glue to fully attach it next i'm attaching the backing back into the frame that it originally came in i'm placing hot glue on the inside of the frame then taking the square backing and just placing it back into place moving on to the pumpkin i'll be using for my sign i'm using some of this plastic wood to fill the hole that's in the pumpkin this one came as like a pumpkin garland from dollar tree and i really didn't want the hole in it so i'm just filling it with a wood filler and then once the wood filler is all dry then i took some sandpaper and just sanded off any excess and i really wanted to have a smooth base for my pumpkin so by sanding it down it's really going to give me a nice smooth finish then i'm painting my pumpkin with my folk art chalk paint in the color sage and i only had to do one coat of this paint and for the stem of my pumpkin i painted it with the waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut to give my pumpkin a little bit more detail i'm using the waverly paint in the color ivory on a small paintbrush and i'm painting on what would be like the grooves of the pumpkin and the little um like cutouts at the bottom of the pumpkin i'm using as a guide to help me paint on those lines and i'm also taking that same ivory color and i'm painting it around all of the outside edges of the pumpkin as well i'm also painting this rectangle that was originally on the front of my sign it's really cute with that gather word on it but i wanted mine to be all white so i'm painting mine with the waverly chalk paint in the color uh ivory and i did have to do three different coats of paint to get that gather word all covered up and now i'm painting a little bit more i'm using my waverly chalk paint in the color ink to paint this wooden thankful word sticker that came from the target dollar spot these are for like the fall stuff from the dollar spot so if you haven't seen them out yet they should be out real soon i'm just using a really small paintbrush to paint this color on and i only had to do one coat of paint now it's time to assemble everything together i'm placing some hot glue on the back of the pumpkin that i painted and placing it right in the center of my fabric on my frame once i have that attached then i'm placing hot glue on the back of the rectangle that i painted with the ivory color and i'm placing that right in the center of my pumpkin and then i'm taking the little sticker part off of the back of the thankful word that i'm paid in and i'm placing that right in the center of the rectangle i was gonna leave everything as is but then decided i needed to have a little raffia bow on the front of my pumpkin so here i'm just tying a really simple bow with some strands of raffia and then just making my bow a lot smaller since my pumpkin is kind of small i needed to have my raffia bow really small so here i'm just working with the raffia sometimes it takes a few tries to get it exactly right or for me anyway once i had my bow all made and then i just hot glued it right underneath the stem of my pumpkin this is the thankful sign all finished this one was so easy and inexpensive to create and it is the perfect table top sign for this fall now moving into diy number three i'm making a grateful sign for this one i used a scrap piece of wood that i had and it is 11 inches by five and a half inches and i'm using my craft smart wood stain in the color brown on an old towel and i'm just applying this stain on the entire piece of wood and this stain is a water-based stain so it dries really quick after i unstained all of my wood i'm taking this a grateful word this one is from hobby lobby and it comes in a pack with a few different um wood word cut outs like this and i'm painting it with the waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and i only had to do one coat to get it all covered up since this is a lighter wood underneath and for this project i'm also going to be using some of these small wooden pumpkins i picked these ones up from hobby lobby as well and they already have like this really pretty like green around the stem and everything's already painted except for like the pumpkin it's just that unfinished wood color but i wanted mine to have like a dry brushed pumpkin color to them so i'm using my waverly paint in the color pumpkin and i'm just dry brushing that over top of four of these wooden pumpkins now that i have everything all painted i'm attaching my grateful woodward cutout to the very top of my wood sign i'm placing hot glue on the back side of the letters and then just pressing that right down onto my wood like i said in the center next i'm taking some of this white cotton cord from hobby lobby and i'm attaching it to the back side of my wood i'm placing hot glue on to the back side of the wood and then placing that cotton cord right over top of the glue to attach it then to ensure that the cotton cord stays in place along the front side because i'm gonna have it hanging kind of like garland i'm doing some more hot glue on the front side of the sign just right on like the outside edge and then placing the cotton cord over the hot glue just to hold everything into place and i'm continuing that same step for attaching the cotton cord with the glue on the other side i wanted to add a little bit more color to my sign and to match my orange pumpkins i'm using some of this orange and cream color plaid ribbon from hobby lobby i'm cutting two strips of this ribbon long enough that i can have them going along the front of the sign and then the two ends wrapped around the back side to attach them i'm just placing them kind of underneath that cotton cord and then i'm placing the two ends on the back side and just hot gluing those down and i did them on each side of my sign next i'm attaching the four pumpkins that i've already painted on top of the cotton cord along the front of my sign i'm just using some hot glue on the back side of each pumpkin and then pressing them down onto the cotton cord the hanger for my sign i'm going to be using some of this jewelry wire to create it i'm bending the wire to the shape that i want and then cutting it down to the size that i need i'm going to be stringing beads onto this wire so i'm just bending the end of the wire so that the beads will stay on and the beads that i'm using are from hobby lobby this comes in like a variety pack of a few different sizes and the size that i'm stringing on to this wire are the smallest ones that come in this pack and i just continued stringing them on until i had my wire completely covered in the beads once i have all of my beads strung on i'm then bending the other end of my wire so that the beads stay on my wire and then just kind of working with it to see how i want the shape of my hanger before i use some hot glue on the back side of my sign to attach my two ends of my wire i do not recommend this if you guys have a staple gun i really recommend just stapling the wires on the back side of the wood instead of using hot glue but i didn't think it through and i ended up just using hot glue to attach them and this is my grateful sign all finished this one screams classic fall to me and i cannot wait to display it in my new home this fall for diy number one i'm making a grateful pumpkin sign and for this one i took a square sign that i picked up from dollar tree and i first started by removing the raffia bow that was on the sign and then the words autumn blessings had a bunch of glitter on them and i didn't want that so i'm taking my scraper tool and i'm just scraping off as much of the glitter as i possibly can if you ever have signs that have glitter on them using a scraper tool does work really well once i got as much of the glitter off as i could i then took some sandpaper and sanded over top of both of those words just to have a smoother surface next i painted my sign with my waverly chalk paint in the color ivory i did have to do three different coats of paint on the front side to cover up that orange pumpkin then once that paint was all dry i took my folk art chalk paint in the color castle on a chip brush and i dry brushed this color on the entire sign on the sides and then on the front side i made sure that i stayed painting in the same direction just back and forth i wanted to use this wooden pumpkin that came on this stand from dollar tree but i needed to remove it so to do that i'm taking my scraper tool and i'm wedging that in between the wooden base and then the back side of the wooden pumpkin and i just kept doing that over and over until the pumpkin eventually popped off you want to be really careful when doing this not to cut yourself with the scraper tool and you also don't want to break the wooden pumpkin so i just did it really slowly and carefully now this back pumpkin that i took off i'm going to use that one for a different project but this front one that i removed is going to be used for today's project now that i have my pumpkin removed i'm painting it with my folk art paint in the color sage and i only did a one coat of this paint on my pumpkin then once that was all on i painted the stem of the pumpkin with the waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut to add some dimension to the pumpkin i took the waverly paint in the color ivory on a really small paintbrush and i dry brushed this color around all of the outside edges of the pumpkin and then also around the outside edges of the cutouts that are in the middle of the pumpkin i really love the black and white buffalo check for fall so here i'm using a piece of this ribbon that i picked up from hobby lobby and i'm just tying a simple bow around the very top stem of the pumpkin and just making it to the size that i want before cutting the ends of the ribbon off in a diagonal shape for the last few steps i need to assemble everything together so i'm placing some hot glue on the back side of my pumpkin then i'm placing the pumpkin on the front of my square sign that i've already painted and then i'm also using this wooden grateful sticker letter or word that i picked up from the target dollar spot my camera stopped filming but i just took the sticker part off of the back of the word and then placed it in the center of my pumpkin here is my grateful pumpkin tabletop sign all finished i'm using it as a tabletop sign but it does still have the hanger on the back of it if you wanted to hang this as well i think it turned out really cute and it's super simple to make and really affordable as well now moving right on into diy number two i'm making a happy harvest sign for this one i'm using this square thankful grateful and less sign from dollar tree and i'm removing the jute hanger that's originally on the sign and then flipping it over because i'm going to be using the back side of this sign for the front side of my sign and then i'm taking some wood filler and i'm just filling in those holes that had the hanger originally on the sign once the wood filler was all dry i then took some sandpaper and just sanded those down so that they were nice and smooth i actually probably didn't even need to do this step because the hanger that i make later on kind of covers up those holes so you could opt out of doing this step completely for this sign i'm going to be making stripes on the front of it so to do that i'm taking a piece of painters tape and i'm placing it right down the center of my square then i'm going to be taking a smaller piece of tape and just placing it right next to that and this is going to be my spacer piece in between my stripes or my pieces of painters tape that i'm going to be putting down to create my stripes i then took another piece of tape and placed it next to the spacer piece and then i'm taking the spacer piece again and just continuing that same step until i have all of my painters tape on the very front of my sign to make all of my stripes now that i have all of my tape applied i'm then painting the two spaces between the painters tape that are towards the outside of my square with my folk art paint in the color spanish moss i'm then painting the two spaces between the painters tape on the inside of those with my waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut and i did do two coats of paint on all of these then after all of my paint was dry i then removed all of my pieces of tape next i'm using more painters tape i'm placing the tape right over top of the stripes that i just painted on this is going to help me protect the colors that i've painted on because i'm going to be adding more colored stripes to the front of my sign for my center stripe i'm using that folk art paint in the color spanish moss once again and i did do two coats of that paint just like i did when i used it on the other stripes and then for the two spaces between the painters tape next to the middle green stripe i'm using my waverly chalk paint in the color pumpkin and again did two coats of that paint and then for the two outside stripes i'm using that waverly paint in the color hazelnut once again as you can probably see here i goofed up a little bit and on the right side i started painting it with that pumpkin color so i just easily painted right over it with the hazelnut color once all of the paint was dry i then removed all of my tape and then i really didn't like how bright these colors were so i wanted to tone them down just a little bit so i took my folk art paint in the color castle on a chip brush and i very lightly dry brush this color on top of the entire front of the sign and then i still wasn't really happy with it so i went in with my craftsmart wood stain in the color brown and i just started applying that with an old towel and just kind of smudging it around to make this sign look really rustic and distressed by adding the stain it really toned those colors down and gave me the look that i was going for if you guys like the brighter colors without the distressing you could definitely leave it as is before i added the stain then because i like layering colors if you guys have seen any of my other videos you know i always layer paint and stain so i'm taking that waverly paint in the color ivory and just dry brushing that over top of the entire front where i just applied the stain next i'm painting this happy harvest wooden cutout that i got from joanne fabrics i'm painting the leaf with the hazelnut colored paint and then i painted all of the words the happy harvest words with my waverly paint and ivory and i did make sure to paint around all of the outside edges of the word because you will see that when it's on my sign and because i love layering paint so much i used some of that ivory colored paint on top of the leaf and then after the ivory color i added some of the waverly paint in the color maze on the leaf as well next i'm attaching this white wire basket that i picked up from dollar tree to attach it to the front of my sign i'm using my staple gun i'm just using the staple gun on a few of the wires along the back side and it was really easy to use that then to attach my happy harvest words i'm just placing some hot glue on the back of the words and then placing them on the top of my sign above my wire basket to make the hanger for my sign i used a few strands of this raffia from dollar tree and i tied a knot off on one of the ends and then measured how long i want the hanger to be before tying another knot off at the other end i then clipped off the excess strands of raffia but i did leave a little bit extra hanging out so that it looked kind of like tassels i guess you could say on the ends then to attach the hanger i placed hot glue on the front of the sign and then just placed the knots on top of the glue after the sign was made i ended up going back through and using my staple gun over top of those knots so that my hanger stayed on my sign a little bit better than just having the glue now i'm using some of this burlap ribbon from dollar tree i'm cutting it down to size so that it fits in the very bottom of my wire basket once i have it all cut down i'm then adding some spanish moss over top of the burlap ribbon and then i'm using some raffia on top of the spanish moss once i have that all placed where i want it to be and then adding some really small pumpkins i believe these ones are either from dollar tree or they came in a pack from walmart and as you can see here i'm adding some of these orange pumpkins from dollar tree but i ended up removing those because i really didn't like the bright orange color and i liked the white ones better and this is my happy harvest fall sign all finished i think this one turned out really good and it is the classic fall colors you could switch this up and do whatever colors that you want with whatever colored pumpkins that you want and really make it fit your own decor now for the third and final diy today i'm making a pumpkin tabletop sign for this one i'm using an 8x10 canvas from dollar tree and i needed to remove the canvas from the wooden frame so i'm taking my box cutter and i'm cutting around all of the staples that are on the back side of the canvas and i'm removing the canvas from the frame now some of the edges were a little hard to get off so i used my scissors to cut the canvas and i didn't have to be real careful because i wasn't trying to save the canvas since i'm not going to be using it for this project after i had my canvas all removed from the frame and then taking the wooden frame and i'm placing it onto this plaid fabric that i'm going to be using this fabric is from walmart and it came in a fat quarter and i believe it was a dollar 47. i just used the frame to help me cut out the correct size of fabric that i'm going to be using so once i had it all measured i then cut the fabric out next i'm painting my wooden frame with my chalk paint in the color ivory and i only did one coat of that paint once this paint was all dry i then wanted to make it look a little bit more rustic so i took my folk art paint in the color castle and dry brushed that over top of the entire frame now i'm attaching that fabric that i cut out to the back side of my wooden frame to do that i'm placing hot glue right onto the wood frame and then i'm pressing the fabric over top of the glue i continued this same step around the entire frame until i had all of my fabric attached next i'm painting this pumpkin wooden cutout that i got from joann fabrics just like the last diy with the wooden cutout these are super inexpensive for the stem of the pumpkin and the stem of the leaves i painted those all with the hazelnut colored paint then for the actual leaves themselves i painted with my pumpkin colored chalk paint but i just dry brushed this color on top of the leaves because i wanted them to not be so dark i guess you could say and then for the actual like pumpkin cutout i painted that with the ivory colored chalk paint and for the letters of the word pumpkin i painted those with my waverly paint in the color ink [Music] i thought this design would be a really cute with some burlap fabric on the back side of my words so here i'm just taking a scrap piece of burlap fabric and i'm cutting that down to size so that it will fit really nicely on the back side of the word pumpkin now it's time to place everything together i put my burlap fabric right in the center of my frame on top of the plaid fabric and then i'm using my hot glue around all four edges of the burlap to attach it to my plaid fabric then for the last step i'm using hot glue on the back side of my wooden pumpkin cutout and i'm placing that in the center of the burlap fabric and this is my pumpkin table top sign all finished this one again is the classic fall colors and i think it turned out really good first up is this reverse canvas farm fresh pumpkin sign and for this project i'll be using a 5x7 canvas this farm fresh stencil from joann fabrics waverly chalk paint in the color ink ivory and also in pumpkin folk art chalk paint in the color castle paint brushes a stencil brush a utility knife buffalo check ribbon and my hot glue gun for the first step i'm taking my utility knife and i'm cutting the canvas off of the wood frame i'm cutting in the outside of where the staples are and once i have it all cut i'm just pulling the canvas right off of the frame now that i have the canvas off of the frame i'm now cutting off the edges of the canvas so that when i glue it back on to the outside of the frame it doesn't overlap next up i'm painting my frame with a folk art chalk paint in the color castle and i did have to do two coats of this paint once all of my paint is dry i'm then taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color ivory and i'm dry brushing that right over top of my frame and i am using a little bit more paint than i normally would so that i have a really distressed look next i'm hot gluing the canvas onto the back of the frame and instead of gluing it to where the white side of the canvas is showing i'm doing it so that i have more of that creamy off-white color on the front and i'm just going around all of the edges putting a little bit of hot glue right on the frame and then pressing the canvas down over top until it's completely glued to my frame after i have my canvas glued back onto my frame i'm then taking the stencil and centering it and just taping it on and there's paint already on the stencil because i attempted this already and it was a fail so this is the second time i'm doing this i definitely suggest taping your stencil down the first time around i did not do it and i think that's why it didn't turn out but here i'm taking that waverly chalk me in the color pumpkin and my stencil brush and i'm just painting that right over top of the pumpkin now i'm taking the waverly chalk paint in the color ink and as you can see here when i put paint on my brush i'm wiping most of the excess off on a paper towel and this is going to help when you stencil over your letters for it to not bleed underneath and that's exactly what i'm doing here i'm just stenciling over all of my letters and i'm dabbing it on instead of rubbing it so that it doesn't bleed through underneath and also holding the edges of the letters down when you're painting helps you could wear gloves i did not i had paint all over me but it just easily washes off and i'm very carefully peeling off the stencil once i'm done painting next i'm taking this buffalo check ribbon that i picked up from hobby lobby and i'm just measuring it around the inside of my frame because i'm going to be gluing that down now i'm taking some hot glue and putting it right along the edges of the canvas and i'm placing the buffalo chuck ribbon right over top of the glue to attach it i'm making sure not to put too much glue down because i don't want it to smush out past my ribbon and that's the last step for this reverse canvas farm fresh pumpkin sign i absolutely love the way that it turned out even if it did take me two tries it was definitely worth it let's move on to the second diy which are these potted pumpkins and for this project i'll be using three inch terracotta pots foam pumpkins from walmart spanish moss from dollar tree waverly inspirations chalk paint in the colors hazelnut and also in the color ivory and this lambs your stem from the target dollar spot i'm starting out by taking the stems out of these foam pumpkins and then i'm painting them with that waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and i did have to do three coats of this chalk paint once my coats of paint have dried and then taking the folk art chalk paint in the color castle and i'm painting this into all of the grooves of the pumpkin this is going to give my pumpkin a more realistic look and then i'm also going to take that waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut and i'm painting that right over top of where i just painted the hazelnut color after i'm done painting my pumpkins i'm simply just putting the stems back in i'm painting over my terracotta pots with that waverly chalk paint in the color ivory i'm putting a little bit of paint on my brush wiping off the excess and then painting that over top of the pots and i still wanted the terracotta color to show through so i'm just kind of splattering the paint all over to give it a really messy distressed look now that my pots are all finished i'm placing the spanish moss right inside of the terracotta pots i only want to use some of the leaves off of this lamb's ear stem so i'm taking some pliers and i'm just cutting the leaves right off next i'm taking these lambs ears and i'm sticking them down into my spanish moss a little bit and placing them on top as well once i have my leaves all adjusted for the last step i'm simply just placing my painted pumpkins right on top this is the final look for these potted pumpkins this is probably the easiest diy for today's video now that we're finished with that one let's move on to this gather pumpkin sign for this project i'll be using this wooden pedestal pumpkin from hobby lobby this gather word cut out from hobby lobby burlap leaves from dollar tree raffia waverly chalk paint in the color ivory folk art chalk paint in the color java also in the color sage paint brushes scissors my hot glue gun and nautical rope i'm first starting out by taking the waverly chalk paint in the color hazelnut and i'm painting this on the two outside panels of the pumpkin i only had to do one coat of this paint and i'm making sure that i'm painting that on all of the edges of the pumpkin as well now i'm taking the folk art paint in the color sage and i'm painting that on the middle panel of my pumpkin and i did have to do two coats of this paint and i am painting the paint right into the slats because i know that later i'm going to touch it up and again i'm making sure that i'm painting on all of my top and bottom edges next i'm taking my waverly chalk paint in the color ivory and i'm painting that on the two panels that are left over and i'm just touching up any paint that i had messed up on earlier i did have to do two coats of this paint so that it would cover up the other colors of paint that i was a little messy with earlier now i'm painting the stand of my pumpkin with this hazelnut color and i did only have to do one coat of this paint once my paint has all dried i'm then taking this ivory color and i'm dry brushing that over top of the hazelnut and the sage colors by adding this dry brush color it's really going to add some dimension to my pumpkin and help with the distressing aged look that i'm going for now i'm taking the hazelnut color and i'm dry brushing that over top of the ivory painted panels and also the panel that's painted in sage then i decided i wanted to add some of the sage color on top of my ivory panels so here i'm just dry brushing the sage right on top of the ivory panels and i didn't want to leave the stand of the pumpkin painted without distressing it so here i'm adding the ivory color onto the painted stand now i'm taking this gather word cut out and i'm painting it with a folk art chalk paint in the color java next i'm hot gluing this nautical rope onto the stem of my wooden pumpkin i'm placing the hot glue right on the wood and then placing the nautical rope over top of that so that it attaches to the pumpkin and i'm just continuing this step until the very top once i get to the very top of my stem i'm cutting off my nautical rope and then i'm just hot gluing the end piece down now i'm taking some hot glue and placing it on the back of my gather word so that i can attach it to the front of my wooden pumpkin i'm taking this raffia and i'm wrapping it around the pumpkin stem and then i'm just simply making a bow once i have my bow just how i want it i'm using a little bit of hot glue to glue that down to the pumpkin stem and then just cutting off any long pieces of the raffia for the last step i'm attaching this burlap leaf and i'm just taking the stem of the leaf and i'm placing it through the raffia and then just moving it around and adjusting it how i want it and this is how the wooden pedestal pumpkin turned out for the first diy in today's video i'm going to be making this pumpkin patch sign and to make this i'll be using these three signs from dollar tree i'll also be using the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color plaster the folk art chalk paint in the colors castle and also in sage pumpkin stickers from dollar tree this pumpkin patch wax paper print out from my computer paint brushes and my hot glue gun to start out i'm painting all three signs with the waverly chalk paint in the color plaster i did have to do two coats of this paint and on one of the signs i did not paint the top and bottom because it was not going to be showing once my paint was dry i took that folk art chalk paint in the color castle and i'm dry brushing that on top of all of the white i'm focusing my paint on all of the edges of this sign so that i can have a really distressed and weathered look i'm taking my paint in the color sage and painting this wooden pumpkin sticker and then i'm going to paint the stem and that color castle next up i'm taking some hot glue and i'm placing it on the side of the sign that i didn't paint and i'm placing another one of the signs right on top of that so that they're attached together once i've got those two attached i'm taking some more hot glue and i'm placing it on top of the sign that i just attached to the first one and then i'm placing the third sign on top of the second one and then just holding those together until they're all three attached now i'm taking my wax paper print out and i'm centering it in the middle where i want it and then i'm taking the end of a paintbrush and i'm just going over all of the words that are on my sign so that the ink transfers onto my painted surface i'm making sure to hold my paper really still so that the ink doesn't smear to make my transfer i created this design on my computer i cut the wax paper down a printer paper size put it in my printer and hit print and for the last step i'm attaching this wooden pumpkin sticker with some hot glue right in the middle of the words you in pick and this is the final result for this sign let's go ahead and move on to diy number two which is this framed thankful and blessed sign for this diy i'll be using this buffalo check craft paper from hobby lobby waverly chalk paint in the colors ink and also in the color plaster the folk art chalk paint in the color castle an 8 by 10 frame from dollar tree i'll also be using this thankful and blessed design printout from my computer paint brushes matte mod podge a sponge brush and a black paint pen to start this diy i'm taking this 8x10 frame apart and i'm going to be painting the outside of the frame with that waverly chalk paint in the color plaster and i did have to do two coats of this paint once that paint was dry i'm taking my paint in the color castle and i'm dry brushing that all over my frame once i have that color all dry brushed on i'm going to be taking my paint and the color ink and i'm going to be dry brushing that over top of the castle color that i just dry brushed on i wanted to add a little bit of black onto this frame to match the buffalo check and now i'm just going to be taking the glass part of the frame and i'm measuring it out on my buffalo check paper and i'm cutting it down to size i'm cutting the excess paper off of this thankful and blessed printout so that it's a little bit easier for me to see where i want to center it in the middle of my frame and then here i'm just marking off where i want to cut off a little bit more of the excess paper now that that's cut down to size i'm going to be taking some scrap paper and using this as a guide to help me make a border around all four edges of my printout i'm just using a scrap piece of paper kind of like a ruler to make a straight edge around all of the sides and then i'm using my black paint pen to make the black border you could also use a sharpie marker now that i have my border all made i'm taking this matte mod podge and i'm painting it on the back of my printout with a sponge paintbrush now i'm taking the printout that has the mod podge on it and just placing it in the center of the buffalo check paper to glue it down and the very last step in this diy is just placing everything back into the frame and this is the finished thankful and blessed frame sign let's move on to the third and final diy for today which is this harvest sign to make this diy i'll be using this harvest blessing hanging sign from dollar tree the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the colors plaster truffle and also in the color hazelnut folk art chalk paint in the color sage and also in the color castle paint brushes painters tape i'll also be using this harvest word from dollar tree raffia and some burlap ribbon from dollar tree to make my sign i'm going to be using the back of this dollar tree sign and i'm first starting out by taking out the jute hanger it's going to be easier for me to paint this way and then i'm taking some painters tape and i'm marking off where i want to paint a few different colored lines on the front of this sign i wanted to make really thin paint lines on this sign and i'm using the holes that held the jute hanger as a guide to make my straight lines i'm just placing the painters tape on each side of that hole once i've got my painters tape on i'm going to be taking my chalk paint in the color plaster and i'm painting this on the two ends of my sign and also in the middle i did have to do two coats of this paint and i made sure that i painted around all of the edges as well once i got that painted on i'm now taking the castle color paint and i'm just painting that in between my painters tape after all of my paint has dried i'm now taking off all of the painters tape that i had put on in the beginning next i'm going to be adding some more painted lines on this sign and to do that i'm using some more painters tape and i'm using the cutouts that are already on this sign as a guide to help me make a straight line and i wanted my lines to be really thin just like the other lines that i already made now that i've got my tape on i'm going to be taking my paint in the color castle and i'm going to be painting that right in between the painters tape that i just applied now i'm making another line with my painters tape on the bottom and the top of this sign and i'm going to be painting my chalk paint in the color hazelnut in between the painters tape that i just applied once all of my paint has completely dried i'm carefully peeling off all of the painters tape that i've applied next up i'm taking my paint in the color sage and i'm painting this on the two outer thick lines that are still unpainted on the sign after i've got the sage color all painted on i'm then taking this color truffle and i'm painting it on the two inner lines that are left over on each side of the sign and i'm using a small paintbrush for this so that i can stay really neat and not mess up any of my painted lines once all of that paint's dry i'm taking the color castle and i'm dry brushing that all over the entire sign then i'm going to be taking the color truffle and dry brushing that right over top of castle that i just did then to distress the darker stripes that i painted on i'm going to be taking the color plaster and just dry brushing that right over top i'm going to be adding some of this burlap ribbon right to the center of my sign and i'm going to be doing that by using a little bit of hot glue i'm just placing some hot glue on the back of the sign and then folding the burlap ribbon over top to attach it now i'm going to be attaching this metal harvest word and to do that i'm just using some hot glue i'm placing the glue right on the actual metal of the word and then i'm placing that on top of the ribbon now i'm reattaching the jute hanger that i took off in the beginning i was going to leave my sign like that but i decided to add a raffia bow so here i'm just making the bow and once i've got my bow made i'm going to be attaching it with some hot glue i'm placing the hot glue right on the back of the center of the raffia bow and then i'm just attaching it to my sign for the very last step in this diy i'm cutting off any of the extra long strands of my bow this is the finished harvest sign and that was the last diy for today all of these were so inexpensive to make the first diy for today is this home sweet home decorative plate charger and i'll be using a plate charger from dollar tree home sweet home wooden stickers from the target dollar spot americana chalk paint in the color linen folk art chalk paint in the color java my hot glue gun paint brushes and maple leaf garland from dollar tree to start out i'm taking my chalk paint in the color linen and i'm painting this onto my plate charger i did have to do three coats of this paint you could skip this step completely if you bought a white or a cream color charger but i already had this silver one on hand so i decided to use it once that paint is all dry and then taking my chalk paint in the color java and i'm dry brushing that around all of the edges and raised parts on the plate charger just to give it a little bit of a distressed look after my paint's all dry and then taking my wooden stickers and placing them out on the charger where i want them to be before i start gluing them down after i have my letters placed where i want them to be to glue them down i'm placing a little bit of hot glue on the back of each letter and then i'm just pressing it down onto the plate i'm continuing this step until i have each one of my wooden letters glued down now that i have all of my letters glued down i'm then taking this maple leaf garland and i'm hot gluing it around the inner edge of my plate i'm putting the hot glue right onto the plate charger and then i'm placing the plastic garland stem right over top of the hot glue to attach it i'm continuing this step until i get back around the top and then i'm cutting off the end of the garland and gluing it down i forgot to film me cutting off some of the leaves from the extra piece of garland but here i'm just gluing the leaves that i had cut off around the edges of the plate charger i'm not adding them in any specific order i'm just placing them or i think that they would look good and then hot gluing them down and this is the last step for this decorative fall plate charger this was so simple to make and i just love how it turned out since we're all finished with this diy let's move on to the second diy for today which is this wooden pumpkin patch sign for this diy i'll be using this wooden slatted circle from the target dollar spot these pumpkin patch wooden stickers from the target dollar spot waverly chalk paint in the color ink hazelnut and also in the color pumpkin americana chalk paint in the color linen paintbrushes my hot glue gun and also some buffalo check ribbon i'm starting out by painting my wooden circle with my chalk paint in the color linen i'm making sure that i'm painting around all of the edges as well and i did have to do two coats of this paint once my paint has dried i'm then taking my chalk paint in the color hazelnut and i'm dry brushing that over top but i'm focusing mainly on the edges and then in between the slats of the wood after i have the hazelnut color painted on i'm then taking my chalk paint in the color ink and i'm dry brushing that over top just like i did the hazelnut color i'm focusing mainly on the edges and in between the slats i wanted this piece to look very distressed once i was finished with my wooden circle then i moved on to my wooden letters and i'm painting these in the chalk paint color ink and i'm making sure that i'm getting around all of the edges of the letters and then i'm also painting my pumpkin and my chalk paint and this color is in the color pumpkin and then i'm painting the stem in the color hazelnut after all of the paint on my letters has dried i'm just placing them on top of my wooden circle where i want to glue them down next i'm just taking some hot glue placing it on the back side of each letter and then sticking it back down onto the wooden circle to attach it for each letter i'm only using a small amount of glue on the back side so that the glue doesn't smush out past the ladder once i place it down now i'm going to be making my double bow i'm taking my buffalo check ribbon wrapping it around my two fingers once then twice the outer ribbon i'm going to be pushing that through the hole by my hand and my two fingers and pulling that through the ribbon piece that i just pulled through i'm going to be taking that and then i'm going to be putting it through the loop around my thumb and then pulling that piece through once again and then just pulling it really tight to form my double bow i'm cutting off the extra long ends of my ribbon and for the very last step i'm using some hot glue to attach my double bow at the very top of my wooden circle and this is my finished pumpkin patch sign let's move on to the third and final diy for today which is this wooden buffalo check pumpkin for this project i'll be using a wooden ornament pumpkin from the target dollar spot buffalo check craft paper from hobby lobby wooden letters from dollar tree waverly chalk paint in the color ink americana chalk paint in the color linen matte mod podge a paint brush a sponge brush my hot glue gun scissors jute spanish moss and some sandpaper the first step for this project i'm placing my ornament pumpkin on top of my buffalo check craft paper and i'm just outlining that on my paper so that i know where to cut once i've got that all traced i'm using some scissors to cut out my pumpkin it's okay if you can see the black marker line and you won't be able to see that later on now i'm taking my paint in the color ink and i'm painting this around all of the edges of my pumpkin which i probably could have skipped this step and just painted it later on you'll see later in the video what i mean but after that paint was all dry i took my matte mod podge and i'm painting that over top of one side of the pumpkin with my sponge brush and then i'm taking my buffalo check cut out pumpkin and just placing that right over top after i let that dry for about 15 to 20 minutes then i'm taking my mod podge once again and just painting that over top of my buffalo check paper after my mod podge is all dry and then taking my sandpaper and sanding around the edges of my pumpkin this is going to take off any extra overlapping pieces of the craft paper and this is why i should have waited to paint around the edges of my pumpkin because i didn't realize that sanding it was going to take the paint off so here i'm just going around the edges with some more of that ink paint once the paint's all dry and then flipping the pumpkin over and placing some hot glue down with the juice over top to attach it i'm going to be wrapping the entire stem of this pumpkin with the jute so i'm just placing some hot glue down i'm putting the juice over top and then continuing this step until i have my entire stem completely wrapped in jute once i get to the top of my stem i'm cutting off the jute and then i'm hot gluing the end piece down next i'm painting my wooden letters f-a-l-l with the chalk paint in the color linen and i only had to do a one coat of this paint after the paint has dried i'm placing them in the center of my pumpkin before i glue them down to attach my letter to the pumpkin i'm placing a little bit of hot glue on the back of each letter and then placing it back down onto the wooden pumpkin for the last step i'm taking just a very small piece of spanish moss and i'm hot gluing that right underneath the ju onto my pumpkin and this is my finished buffalo check pumpkin i've been seeing these everywhere in stores and i'm so happy i was able to create my own the first diy today is this vertical home sign and for this project i'll be using a vertical beware sign from dollar tree unfinished wood letters from michaels a decorative pumpkin from hobby lobby waverly chalk paint in the color ink americana chalk paint in the color lace folk art chalk paint in the color castle painters tape paint brushes shoot and my hot glue gun i'm starting by cutting the lace ribbon off of the sign and then flipping it over since that's the side i'm using and then i'm taking my painters tape and i'm applying it on both sides of this sign and i'm using the little cutouts at the top as my guide to make straight lines once i have my painters tape applied then i'm taking my chalk paint in the color lace and i'm painting the two outer sides of this sign and i did have to do two coats of this paint after my paint has completely dried i'm going to be peeling off my painters tape then i'm going to be placing it about an eighth of an inch away from that lace color that i just applied i'm going to be making what appears to be wood slats and then i'm going to be painting my chalk paint in the color castle along that lace color and my painters tape to make my lines after that paint is dried then i'm peeling off my painters tape originally i was going to do multiple colors on this sign and then i decided to stick with just the two so here i'm taking that lace color and painting it in the center and then along the castle color i painted on to make my flat lines it would have been a lot easier for me to just paint the entire sign in this lace color in the beginning and then put on my painters tape and create my slat lines but i did it the hard way once i have this paint color all dry then i'm going to be taking some more painters tape and applying it in the center of the sign using those cutouts again as a guide to make my lines straight i placed my tape about an eighth to a quarter inch apart and i painted in between in the color castle once that paint was dry and then i just peeled off my tape now i'm taking my color castle and i'm dry brushing that over top the entire sign i'm focusing on the edges so that they look really distressed once i have that color painted on then i'm going to be taking the color lace once again and i'm dry brushing that over top where i made my lines i wanted those to look distressed as well and not newly painted on and i'm just dabbing my brush over top of the lines now that i have my sign all painted i'm moving on to my letters and i'm using the waverly chalk paint and the color ink i'm painting all three letters this color and i'm making sure that i'm getting around all of the edges since you'll see them when they're glued down i did only have to do one coat of this paint once my paint's all dry then i'm placing the letters and my little wooden pumpkin that i picked up from hobby lobby on my sign to make sure that everything's centered before i start attaching them to attach my letters in my pumpkin i'm using a pretty good amount of hot glue along the back side and then i'm pressing them down onto my sign you could always use e6000 which works great as well when doing this i was working a really quickly with the hot glue since it does dry really fast for the last step in this diy i'm taking a piece of chew and i'm putting it through the holes that were already made in this sign to make my hanger i'm making some pretty large knots along the back side so that the jute doesn't come through the holes that were already made and this is the finished sign you could always use a small wreath or something different instead of the pumpkin if you wanted to use this sign year round let's move on to diy number two which are these wooden pumpkins for this project i'll be using three scrap pieces of wood that i got in a bag of wood from hobby lobby three wooden caps americana chalk paint and the color lace waverly chalk paint in the color pumpkin and also in the color hazelnut folk art chalk paint in the color java my hot glue gun paint brushes jute scissors spanish moss from dollar tree and raffia from dollar tree i'm starting by painting my largest piece of scrap wood and my chalk paint in the color lace i'm painting my middle sized piece of wood and the chalk paint color pumpkin and then i'm painting my smallest piece of wood in the color hazelnut and i only had to do one coat after my paint has dried on all of my wooden pieces then i'm taking the color java and i'm dry brushing that over top of all of my wood and i'm focusing along the edges to make them look distressed for the stems of my pumpkins i'm going to be using these wooden caps and i'm painting them in that java color once the java color has dried then i'm going to be taking that lace color and dry brushing that over top of them to give them more of a distressed look as well next up i'm using some hot glue to attach the stems to the tops of my pumpkins i'm putting the hot glue right on the bottom of the cap and then centering it right on the top of my wood next i'm adding some raffia to each one of my pumpkins i'm just tying it around the stem and then using a little bit of hot glue to attach it and keep it in place and then i thought it needed a little something extra so i'm taking a very small piece of spanish moss and just hot gluing that around the top by the raffia i did do the same thing for all three of the pumpkins with a raffia and spanish moss i also trimmed the ends of the raffia to make them a little bit shorter and these are the pumpkins all finished they were so easy to make and i just love how they turned out the first diy for today is this pumpkin toppery and for this project i'll be using three pumpkins from dollar tree two of the velvet and one burlap i'll also be using a four inch terracotta pot americana chalk paint in the color lace folk art chalk paint in the color castle paint brushes burlap and lace ribbon from dollar tree raffia nautical rope scissors spanish moss a six inch grapevine wreath an old sweater for my fabric and my hot glue gun i'm starting out by painting my terracotta pot and my chalk paint in the color castle and i did only have to do one coat of this paint i'm also painting on the inside of the pot so that you can't see any of the original color once my paint has dried i'm then taking my chalk paint in the color lace and i'm dry brushing that over top of the castle color once i have my pot all painted i'm moving onto my pumpkins i'm removing all of their stems and on the two velvet pumpkins i'm removing the fabric and then on the burlap pumpkin i'm just removing the stem and i'm leaving the fabric as is next i'm painting a stem from one of the velvet pumpkins i do only need one stem for this project and i'm painting that in the chalk paint color castle and then once that's dry i'm dry brushing it with the color lace now moving on to my pumpkins i'm placing a pumpkin from one of the velvet pumpkins in the center of my sweater and i'm cutting around in a circular shape i didn't use measurements when cutting this circle around my pumpkin i just cut it very large and i knew that i could always cut off any excess later on with my pumpkin centered in the middle of my sweater fabric i'm then pulling up the sides of the sweater and then i'm poking it in the hole that was in the top of the pumpkin and i'm using the end of a paint brush to do this this works really great to get the fabric nice and tight i'm working in sections with my fabric i'm pulling a small amount up and then i'm using the end of the paintbrush to push it in the very top hole of the pumpkin and then continuing this step until the pumpkin is completely covered in the sweater fabric [Music] [Music] i have my pumpkin all covered in the fabric but since i didn't measure in the beginning i did have some extra so here i'm just using my scissors to cut some of the extra fabric off the top and then i'm using the end of my paint brush once again to push the extra fabric down into the top of the pumpkin and then i'm using a little bit of hot glue and pushing the fabric down on top of it so that everything stays in place for this pumpkin i'm going to be adding some nautiluca rope along the sides and here i'm measuring around the pumpkin and then i'm cutting five different pieces of nautical rope to glue onto my pumpkin make sure you use some good sharp scissors because the nautical rope is hard to cut through to attach the rope i'm using some hot glue and the top of the pumpkin pulling the nautical rope down to the bottom of the pumpkin with some more hot glue and i'm continuing this step for all five pieces of the nautical ropes after all my ropes are attached i'm going to be setting this pumpkin aside until we start creating the temporary later in the video moving on to my second pumpkin i'm going to be using the burlap and lace ribbon from dollar tree and here i'm cutting a triangle shape at the very top of my ribbon before i place it on the inside of my pumpkin and i'm using a little bit of hot glue to attach it and then i'm bringing it down on the bottom of my pumpkin and i'm cutting another triangle just so that it lays a little bit better once i have it all hot glued down again i'm cutting the end of my ribbon into a triangle shape so that it's easy to put into my pumpkin i'm placing some hot glue on the inside of the pumpkin and then placing the ribbon over top to attach it pulling the ribbon down cutting the end of that into a triangle shape and then putting some hot glue on the pumpkin and placing the ribbon over top to attach it to the pumpkin you don't have to cut the ends of your ribbon into a triangle shape i just find that it helps the ends lay down a lot better this way once the ribbon is completely covering my pumpkin i'm going to be setting this one aside for later in the video and moving on to the third pumpkin for this pumpkin i'm leaving the original burlap fabric i'm taking some hot glue placing it on the very top of my pumpkin and then putting a piece of raffia over top of that wrapping it around the pumpkin i'm cutting the raffia at the very top and then hot gluing the end of that down i'm then taking a second piece of raffia and i'm doing the same thing i did to the first one i'm placing some hot glue on the top of my pumpkin with the raffia over top wrapping the raffia around the pumpkin cutting off the excess and then gluing the end of the raffia down now i'm going to be attaching all of my pumpkins i'm placing some hot glue around the top of my ribbon pumpkin since that's my bottom one and then i'm putting my sweater pumpkin on top of that holding it for a minute so it stays in place then placing some hot glue on the top of my sweater pumpkin and placing the burlap one on top of that again i'm holding it for just a minute so it stays in place i forgot to leave a hole for my stem so here i'm just using some scissors to cut a new one in my raffia and then placing the stem on the very top next i'm taking my grapevine wreath and placing it around the edge of my pot and then placing the pumpkins on top of the pot to attach the wreath to my pot i'm using a little bit of hot glue on the sides and then just pushing the wreath over top of the glue once that's all attached i'm then placing hot glue right on to the wreath and then i'm placing some spanish moss on top of the glue so that it sticks to the wreath i'm also going to be placing spanish moss in between all of my pumpkins where they meet together doing the same step of placing some hot glue right on the pumpkin and then placing the spanish moss over top of that to attach it [Music] next i'm making a bow out of a piece of raffia and here i'm not doing anything special i'm just making a bow like if you would tie your shoes and then i'm cutting off any of the really long end pieces now that i have my bow all made i'm going to be attaching it to the very top of the burlap pumpkin using some hot glue for the last step i'm trimming my spanish moss so that it looks a little bit more put together and not so messy this is the finished temporary i'm so happy with how it turned out and it fits with my decor in my home perfectly now for the second diy it is this reverse canvas framed leaf for this project i'm using two dollar tree canvases a five by seven and a six by eight one leaf ornament from dollar tree americana chalk paint in the color lace waverly chalk paint in the color maze folk art chalk paint in the colors castle and also in the color java paint brushes wood filler spanish moss a utility knife my hot glue gun and some sandpaper to start out i'm taking my utility knife and i'm cutting around all of the edges of the canvas so that it's easy to take the canvas off of the wood frame once i have my canvas cut all the way around i'm using my fingers to pull the canvas apart and off of the frame the edges can sometimes be tricky so you might have to go over them a few times with your knife and i am only going to be using the 5x7 canvas i have the main part of my canvas off and instead of taking the staples out to get the extra canvas off of the back i'm just pulling it through the staples because sometimes the staples can be tricky to get off next i'm painting both of my frames with my chalk paint in the color castle and i only had to do one coat of this paint after my frames have been painted and the paint has dried and then dry brushing my paint in the color lace over top of both of the frames next i'm cutting the canvas from my 5x7 frame down so that it doesn't overlap when i glue it on the back of the frame next up i'm placing some hot glue around all of the edges of the 5x7 frame and then placing the canvas over top to attach it i am using the more creamy side of the canvas instead of the really white side because i liked this a little bit better now i'm taking some hot glue and placing it on the inside of the 6x8 frame and then putting some spanish moss over top of that to attach it and i'm doing this around all four sides after i have all of my moss attached i'm then going to be placing hot glue around all of the edges of the 5x7 frame and then placing it inside of the 6x8 frame moving on to my leaf this leaf is meant to be an ornament but i didn't want there to be a hole so i'm taking some wood filler and filling the hole i'm letting that dry and then i'm taking some sandpaper and sanding the wood filler off so that my leaf is nice and smooth then i'm taking my chalk paint in the color maze and i'm painting over my entire leaf and i am painting along all of the edges as well once my paint has dried i'm then taking my paint in the color castle and i'm dry brushing that over top of my leaf but i'm focusing the paint along all of the edges of the leaf then i'm taking my paint in the color java and i'm going over all of the places where i just painted the color castle this is going to give my leaf more dimension once i have that paint all on and then i'm taking some hot glue placing it along the back of my leaf and pressing it right in the middle of my canvas there was a few empty spots in between the two frames so i'm just filling that in with some more spanish moss for the very last step i'm trimming my spanish moss so that it doesn't look so messy and it's more put together [Music] and this is the finished framed leaf and last diy for today both diys were so much fun to create the first sign that i'll be making over is the steak sign and i'll be using the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color hazelnut plaster truffle maze and pumpkin i'll also be using these wooden leaf and pumpkin stickers from dollar tree some jute my hot glue gun some wax paper word printouts from my computer a spoon a few different size paint brushes and some sandpaper i'm starting out by taking my sandpaper and i'm sanding off all of the glitter that's on the sign and thankfully on this one it was just over the word welcome once i have that all sanded i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color plaster and i'm painting the top board of the sign i did paint three coats of this paint and also made sure i got all of the edges painted as well next up i'm painting the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color hazelnut on the middle board and i did two coats of this and then i'm going to be painting that plaster color on the bottom board and again i did three coats of this while i was waiting in between coats of the boards to dry i painted the steak part of this sign with the waverly inspirations paint and hazelnut [Music] next i'm dry brushing this color plaster over top of the middle board that was painted in the hazelnut color and i'm trying to do my brush strokes all in the same direction so that it gives it more of a wood grain appearance i'm also dry brushing that same plaster color all over the stake then i'm going to be taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color truffle and i'm dry brushing that over top all three boards and this is going to help give it more of a wood grain appearance this bottom board originally had the word patch that was a little bit raised and i knew that when i dry brushed it that word would pop back through now i'm taking my wax paper printouts and i'm going to be transferring the words onto my board to do the transfer i'm just centering my wax paper where i want it to be and then i'm taking a spoon and i'm pushing over the letters so that the ink transfers onto the board to make my printouts i just created these sayings on my computer and then i cut the wax paper down to printer paper size and then just simply place it in my printer and hit print when placing the wax paper onto the board you want to make sure that you're holding it really still so that the ink doesn't smudge all over the place and also you can use whatever you want when you're going over your letters to transfer your ink onto the board i just like using a spoon and for the last board i'm just taking a little bit of the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color truffle and going over that word patch that was already originally on the board i'm using a tiny bit of paint so that it still looks distressed then i'm painting this wooden pumpkin and the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color pumpkin and then i'm dry brushing the color plaster over top i'm also painting this wooden leaf but this time i'm painting it in the color hazelnut next i'm taking a little bit of hot glue and placing it on the back of the top board and then i'm placing some jute over top of the hot glue so that it sticks to the board and then i'm just wrapping the juice around in a couple different directions until it gets to how i like it and then i'm just tying it off on the back and then hot gluing the excess piece down once all of my jute's on i'm going to be taking this wooden leaf and gluing it over top of the jute on the board i wasn't really happy with the color of the leaf so here i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color maze and just repainting it for the final step i'm taking this wooden pumpkin and i'm hot gluing it on the bottom board right next to the word patch and this is the final result let's go ahead and move on to sign number two for this one i'll be using this wooden pumpkin the waverly inspirations chalk paints in the color plaster truffle and pumpkin i'll also be using some jute and a few different paint brushes i'm first taking off the raffia that was glued to the top stem and then i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint and the color plaster and i'm painting three coats of this onto the wooden pumpkin i'm letting the paint dry between each coat of paint as well once i have the pumpkin all painted in that white color i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color truffle and i'm dry brushing this around all of the edges and the front of this wooden pumpkin once i have that color all dry brushed on i'm going to be adding even more dimension and i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint and hazelnut and dry brushing that over top too now that my pumpkin's all painted i'm going to be adding some hot glue on the wooden stem part and then i'm going to be placing some jute over top of the hot glue so that it sticks to the stem and i'm just going to be wrapping that around the stem until it's completely wrapped in jute and then hot glueing the end piece down now i'm going to be using my hot glue gun to attach some jute to the back of the pumpkin and i'm going to be wrapping this jute around the pumpkin about five or six times and then i'm going to be cutting off the excess piece and gluing it down on the back of the pumpkin now i'm painting this wooden leaf and the color pumpkin and once that's dry i'm dry brushing the color truffle over top for the last step i'm hot gluing this wooden leaf right on top of the jute and this is the final look for the wooden pumpkin let's move on to the third and final sign for this one i'll be using this halloween sign from dollar tree waverly inspirations chalk paint and plaster truffle and in hazelnut these fall florals and also this metal thankful word both from dollar tree a small grapevine wreath some painters tape my hot glue gun some raffia a few different paint brushes and some pliers to cut my stems for this one i'm using the back side of the sign and i'm taking some painters tape and i'm taping off to where i would want it to appear like wood planks once i've got everything all taped off i'm going to be using the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color plaster and i'm going to be painting both outsides of the sign in this color i painted on two coats of this paint and i made sure that i painted on all of the edges and sides of the sign as well once my paint has completely dried i'm peeling off the painters tape from both sides then i'm going to be taking another piece of painters tape and i'm going to be placing it in the center to where i would have two more wood planks and i'm painting the one side with the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color truffle when painting this right next to that plaster color i'm trying to be as careful as i can so that i don't have a bunch of smudges once the truffle color has dried i'm painting on the hazelnut color on the last strip of the board and i did have to go back through and touch up some spots where i had a few smudges now i'm taking the color truffle and i'm dry brushing that over the two sides that were painted in plaster and then the one strip that was painted in hazelnut after i dry brushed those in truffle i took some of the plaster color and i dry brushed that over top of the truffle strip and also a little bit on the hazelnut strip as well after i've got my board all painted i'm going to be taking this raffia and i'm going to be wrapping it around my grapevine wreath i'm leaving about a half an inch in between and then once i get to the very end i'm going to be cutting it off and then just hot glueing the end piece down now i'm going to be painting a little bit of this plaster color over top of my metal word thankful and once that's dry then i'm going to be painting on a little bit of that color hazelnut and i'm just dabbing the paint over top next i'm using my pliers to cut the stems off of these flowers i'm only using two of these flowers but i'm just using the end of the stem that i cut off to place it in between the grapevines in the wreath i'm centering my wreath and my word down on my board so that i know where i want to put them before i start hot gluing them down i'm just putting the hot glue right on the board and then i'm pressing of the wreath down and i'm gluing it in two different spots the top and the bottom of the wreath and then for the words i'm just placing some hot glue on the back side of the metal and then just pressing it down onto the board and that is the last step for this sign for the first wraith i'll be using a metal wreath ring some burlap ribbon fall floral picks and some pliers to cut my stems to start out i'm going to be taking my burlap ribbon and i'm going to be tying a knot around one of the metal pieces around the wreath ring to make sure that it's secure now that i have my ribbon attached to my wreath ring i'm going to be making the bubbles in my wreath and to do that i'm just bringing the ribbon up through the first section of the wreath ring and then i'm twisting the ribbon twice and then i'm bringing more ribbon up through the outer wreath ring and then i'm twisting twice again before i bring it back through the inner ring just like i did the first one and i'm repeating that process over and over again until the ribbon is completely covering my wreath ring i'm twisting twice between each bubble so that they stay in place and also after every section of bubbles that i'm making i'm pushing the ribbon really close to the previous section of bubbles that i made so that at the end i have a really full wreath when i come to the end of one of my ribbon spools i'm just knotting it off around one of the metal pieces and the same for starting a new spool just like i did when we started the wreath i'm making a knot around one of the metal pieces and then starting my bubbles once again this metal wreath frame is about six inches and i used four and a half of this burlap ribbon and it comes in nine feet per spool once i got to the end of my wreath i just tied it off in a knot and then cut off the excess piece and this is what it looks like with all of the ribbon attached and now i'm cutting my fall stems with my pliers i'm going to be attaching these stems right onto the wire portion of the frame in between the burlap ribbon each one of my fall stems had wires on them so it made it really easy for me to just wrap them around my metal frame and that is the last step for this super simple wreath let's go ahead and move on to the second wreath for this next wreath i'll be using the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color ivory and in hazelnut i'll also be using the folk art chalk paint in castle i'll be using a couple of paint brushes pumpkin clips from dollar tree a lamb's ear wreath and mine is from hobby lobby my hot glue gun burlap ribbon from dollar tree and buffalo check ribbon from hobby lobby to start on on this one i'm taking out all of the stems of my mini pumpkins once i have out all of the stems of my pumpkins i'm painting them with that chalk paint in the color ivory and i only did one coat of this paint once that paint was dry i took the chalk paint in the color castle and i'm painting that in between all of the indents and the pumpkin after that color was painted on i took the color hazelnut and i painted that right over top of the color castle i used more than one paint color because i wanted my pumpkins to have a little bit of extra dimension to them and i didn't like the original white color that they came in that's why i chose to do them in the ivory and now i'm just painting my stems with that color castle as well and once they're dry i'm placing them back into my pumpkins now that my pumpkins are finished i'm simply going to be attaching them to my lamb's ear wreath that i picked up from hobby lobby and these pumpkins already have clips on them so i'm just clipping them along the stems of this wreath and i did end up only using four of the pumpkins now i'm cutting three strips of this burlap ribbon two at about eight inches and one at about ten and this is going to make my burlap bow i'm hot gluing both of my eight inch strips that i cut to make two circles next i'm taking my two strips that i glued together and i'm placing those right in the middle of that ten inch strip and i'm gathering the material in the middle and i'm going to be forming my bow and then i'm taking a piece of jute and i'm wrapping it around the middle of the bow and just making it really tight before i tie it off and then cut off the excess jute i'm taking my buffalo check ribbon and making a double bow i'm placing the ribbon over top my two fingers i'm zig-zagging it and then i'm taking the outer ribbon and placing it in between where my hand meets my fingers and then pulling the ribbon tight to make my double bow i'm taking another piece of the buffalo chuck ribbon and i'm attaching it to my burlap bow with some hot glue and putting the hot glue right on the burlap ribbon and then placing the buffalo check ribbon on top of the glue to attach it and then i'm just cutting off the excess and hot gluing that piece down next i'm attaching my buffalo check double bow right in the center of my burlap bow using some hot glue and then i'm cutting off any extra long pieces on my ribbons and then i'm cutting a diagonal shape on the end of my burlap ribbon and for the final step i'm placing a little bit of hot glue right on the stem of my lamb's ear wreath to attach my bows and this is the final result for this wreath let's go ahead and move on to the third and final wreath for this wreath i'll be using an 8-inch embroidery hoop the waverly inspirations chalk paint and the color ink this metal welcome word from dollar tree fabric from hobby lobby burlap ribbon from dollar tree a foam brush scissors my hot glue gun and some jute to start out i'm cutting my fabric out in about two inch thick strips and i cut a bunch of these out and then i'm taking that chalk paint in the color ink and i did two coats of that over this welcome word that i got from dollar tree then i'm unscrewing the top of the embroidery hoop and i'm taking out the inner circle and that's the circle that i'm going to be using now i'm going to be taking my strips of fabric and i'm simply going to be tying them in a knot around my embroidery hoop and i'm going to be doing this step over and over again until my entire hoop is covered in the fabric after every knot is made i push it close to the previous knot that i had made so that i don't have any gaps showing and you can't see the embroidery hoop through the fabric once i have all of my fabric strips tied around my hoop i'm then going to be taking some of this burlap ribbon and i'm going to be tying a knot around my hoop just like i did with the fabric and i'm going to be doing this in five different spots on my hoop just to add a little bit of extra color now i'm giving my wreath a little bit of a trim some of my fabric pieces were a little bit longer than the other so i'm just evening those out a little bit next i'm taking this burlap ribbon and attaching it in the middle of the back of my wreath using some hot glue i'm putting the hot glue right on top of the ribbon and then i'm placing that right on top of the fabric on the back of the wreath and once i have that all attached i'm going to be flipping it over and then fluffing up the fabric pieces before i attach my welcome word and i'm going to be attaching it using a little bit of hot glue i'm just placing a little bit of glue right on top of the fabric and then placing the word on top of that and then for the final step i'm just attaching some chew at the very top as my hanger this is the final result for this wreath for the first two pumpkins i'll be using these foam pumpkins from dollar tree waverly chalk paint in the color plaster fabric mines from hobby lobby jute matte mod podge floral picks from dollar tree raffia scissors my hot glue gun craft sticks pliers to cut my stems paint brushes and foam brushes to start out i'm taking the tops out of my pumpkin and then i'm painting the waverly chalk paint in the color plaster and i did have to do two coats of this paint and i thought i got better coverage by dabbing it with the foam brush once i got my pumpkins all painted i started cutting my fabric out and i cut them about one and a half to two inch thick strips and then i just measured it around the pumpkin and cut off the excess i'll be using two different fabrics and i'm measuring and cutting them both the same i didn't cut an exact number of strips out i just cut a lot of them because i knew that i was going to be needing to cover two pumpkins once i have all of my fabric strips cut i'm taking the mod podge and i'm just painting it right onto the pumpkin with my foam brush and then i'm placing the fabric on top of the mod podge and since the pumpkin has a lot of lumps and bumps your fabric's not going to sit down flat but i'm taking my fingers and just running it along the fabric to press out any bumps the best that i can for every strip that i glued down i am going to be overlapping it on the previous strip that i glued down and i'm placing the mod podge right on top of the fabric and also on the pumpkin and then just smoothing out any lumps and bumps the best that i can and then repeating this step over and over again until my pumpkin is completely covered in the fabric for this pumpkin i did two strips of the striped fabric and then i did one of the farmhouse fabric and i just continued that pattern for the whole pumpkin now that i have my fabric all glued to my pumpkin i'm going to be making the stem for this i'm taking the craft sticks and snapping them into two so that they are shorter and then i'm going to be hot gluing six of them together next i'm going to be using some jute to wrap around my craft sticks and i'm going to be attaching it using some hot glue every few wraps i place a little bit more hot glue so that my jute stays in place once i get to the end i just cut off the excess and hot glue the tip down i'm attaching my stem with some hot glue i'm putting the hot glue right on top of the fabric and then placing the stem on top of that next i'm going to be adding some raffia around the top of my stem and to do that i'm using some hot glue once again and i'm adding some more raffia but this time i'm gluing it down in the opposite direction [Music] here i'm cutting off the pine cones from the floral stems that i picked up from dollar tree and then i'm going to be hot gluing them right on the top of my pumpkin and that was the last step for this pumpkin let's go ahead and move on to the second fabric covered pumpkin since we already have the pumpkin painted i'm going to go ahead and place the mod podge right on top of the pumpkin and then place the fabric over top of that just like we did on the last pumpkin only on this pumpkin i'm using a little bit more mod podge than i did on the other one i found that using a little bit more glue helped saturate the fabric really well and then my fabric was able to stretch out and lay down on the pumpkin a lot better for this pumpkin i'm using just the one striped fabric and i'm doing the same method i did on the last pumpkin i'm overlapping each strip that i place down i'm placing the mod podge on half of the fabric and half of the pumpkin and then putting the fabric over top of that until my pumpkin is completely covered in fabric for my stem i'm doing the same thing i did on the other one i'm taking my craft sticks that i had broken in half and i'm gluing six of them together and then i'm taking the chew and wrapping it around the craft sticks and i'm attaching it using some hot glue i'm then going to be attaching the stem on the top of my pumpkin using some hot glue and for this pumpkin i'm going to be attaching some jute around the entire pumpkin going along the sides and for that i'm just taking the jute i'm hot gluing it at the very top by the stem i'm bringing the jute down and then hot gluing it on the bottom and then repeating that step until it's covered next i'm making a bow out of my chew i just wrapped it around my hand about five or six times and then i'm taking a piece of this raffia and tying it in the middle of the jute to make my bow i cut off any extra long pieces and now i'm going to be taking the raffia and i'm going to be tying it around the stem and then hot glueing it down [Music] i'm now taking a second piece of raffia and i'm tying it around the stem the opposite direction and then hot gluing that down as well [Music] i'm then cutting off any extra long pieces of the raffia and for the last step i'm hot gluing the bow that i made right on the top of the front of my pumpkin now i'm going to be moving on to a pumpkin with a floral arrangement for this one i'm using a foam pumpkin folk art chalk paint and castle lace ribbon a utility knife floral picks from dollar tree scissors my hot glue gun spanish moss foam brushes and floral foam to start out i'm painting my pumpkin and that chalk paint in the color castle and i did two coats of this paint once i got my pumpkin all painted and my coats of paint were dry i took my utility knife and i'm cutting out the top of my pumpkin once i had the top of my pumpkin all cut out i'm then going to be taking the floral foam and i'm going to be cutting it in half so that it fits inside of my pumpkin i'm placing the floral foam right inside of the pumpkin side by side next i'm going to be attaching this lace ribbon to the sides of my pumpkin i'm putting a little bit of hot glue on the inside of the top of the pumpkin i'm bringing the ribbon all the way down the side of the pumpkin and then i'm hot gluing it on the bottom and i'm just repeating this step over and over until it's completely covered in ribbon around my pumpkin and i did about two or three inches between each ribbon i wasn't really measuring it i just kind of eyeballed it i've got my pumpkin all finished on the outside now i'm going to be making the floral arrangement i'm taking my pliers and i'm cutting off the stems of all of the floral and then i'm going to be placing them in the floral foam that i had already placed inside of the pumpkin now that i have all of my stems in place i'm going to be taking some of the spanish moss and placing it along the inside top part of the pumpkin for the final step and this is the final result for the pumpkin floral arrangement let's move on to the final pumpkins for this one i'll be using these three pumpkins from dollar tree waverly chalk paint in plaster hazelnut and in truffle folk art chalk paint in the color castle and also in sage and some paint brushes i'm first taking the stems out of these two pumpkins and then i'm painting on that chalk paint in the color castle and i did have to do three coats of this paint after my paint is all dry i'm taking my paint in the color plaster and i'm then painting it on the indents of both pumpkins after that i'm taking the color truffle and i'm painting that on the indents of the pumpkins just like i did with the plaster color i'm then going to add a little bit of that paint along the sides of the pumpkin and then i'm going to take my hazelnut color and i'm going to be painting that on the inner grooves where i painted the other two colors by layering the colors it's going to add a more realistic look to your pumpkin for the final pumpkin i'm taking the stem out and then i'm painting three coats of this folk art chalk paint in the color stage once that paint has dried i'm then taking the hazelnut color and i'm painting that on all of the inner grooves of the pumpkin then i'm going to be taking the plaster color and i'm going to be dry brushing that all over the outside of my pumpkin and i'm also going to be taking some of that hazelnut color and dry brushing that on the top and the bottom of the pumpkin to give it a more realistic look i painted the stems in the color truffle and then once that was dried i dry brushed them in the color hazelnut before placing all three stems back into my pumpkins and that was the last step for these three pumpkins up first is the framed wreath and i used waverly inspirations chalk paint in the colors hazelnut and in plaster i also used a few different paint brushes an embroidery hoop some floral fall picks burlap an 11 by 14 frame from dollar tree i used pliers to cut my stems scissors jute and a sharpie pen i'm starting out by taking my frame apart i'm going to be painting my frame so this is going to make it a lot easier to paint with the backing and the glass part out once i've got my frame all taken apart i'm done painting it and that waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color hazelnut and i did end up doing two coats of this paint i wanted to make sure that that black color that the frame originally was was all covered up and you couldn't see it popping through after my two coats of paint have dried and then taking that waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color plaster and i'm going to be kind of dry brushing this onto the frame normally when i dry brush i don't use hardly any paint at all so i'm using a little bit more paint than i normally would when i dry brush but i wanted to give this frame a really distressed look and i wanted it to have a lot of white color on it with that tan hazelnut color popping through so i'm just doing that all over the frame here and i did go over it just once with this dry brush technique until it was completely finished next up i'm using the glass part of the frame as a guide so that i know how large i need to cut out my burlap and i'm doing that using my sharpie pen and then once i've got that all traced out i'm just cutting it with my scissors now i'm going to be gluing on the burlap sheet that i just cut out right onto the glass part of my frame to do that i'm just using my hot glue gun i'm placing a little bit of hot glue on the glass and then pressing the burlap on top of the glue so that it sticks to the glass and i am working in small sections so that i don't have any lumps or bumps in the burlap [Music] after i've got my burlap all glued on i'm going to be moving on to my embroidery hoop i am undoing the screw at the top and i'm just going to be using the inside of the hoop and i'm painting it and that way really inspirations chalk paint in the color plaster and this paint dries really fast that's what i love about chalk paint so by the time i was done painting the top portion of the hoop i could set it back down on the table and then do the top part and by the time i was done with that it was completely dry i only painted one coat of paint on this embroidery hoop but it covered everything just fine after my hoop is all dry i'm going to be attaching this fall stem to my embroidery hoop by wrapping the end of it around the hoop and i'm also going to be taking a piece of chew and attaching it to the hoop by tying a knot and then wrapping the jute around the hoop and the fall stem i want to make sure that everything is attached securely and this step is really going to help with that i'm not being very picky on what my jute looks like wrapped around the hoop because at the end of the project this will not be visible and once i've got my jute wrapped all around i'm going to be tying it off with a knot and then cutting off the excess jute now that that one's all attached i'm going to be adding some greenery that i had from another fall stem and to attach it i'm using some hot glue i just placed the hot glue right on top of the embroidery hoop and then place the greenery on top of that and next i'm going to be adding another fall stem on the other side of my embroidery hoop and i'm going to be doing it the same as i did the first one i'm wrapping the end of the stem around the hoop and then i'm going to be attaching the jute over top of that and for this one i did cut off the cotton part of it because i only wanted one cotton piece on this wreath and again i'm not being too picky on how i'm wrapping the jute around the hoop because you will not see this in the end and once i've got the ju all wrapped around i am going to be hot gluing another piece of greenery to the other side of the hoop and i originally was going to put some pumpkins on here but i decided to leave them out this time now that i have my wreath all made i'm putting my picture frame back together and as you can see here i have a little bit of excess burlap that was popping through but by pushing down on the backing of the frame it ended up fitting just fine now i'm placing my wreath in the center of my frame before i start hot gluing it down i'm putting the hot glue at the very top of the hoop on the two sides and on the bottom and i'm just doing a little bit of hot glue right on top of the burlap and then i'm pressing the hoop on top of the glue to attach it to the frame i'm not using a lot of glue because i don't want it to smush out past the hoop and have a really messy look i've got my wreath all attached to the frame and i originally was going to leave it just like this but then i decided that it needed a bow on the top of the hoop and to do that i'm taking two pieces of jute and just making a bow out of them and then i'm going to be attaching it with hot glue i'm placing my glue in the center of the embroidery hoop and then placing the bow on top of the glue to attach it to the hoop and any extra jute pieces that were hanging that were a little too long i cut off as well this diy is all finished so let's move on to the floral arrangement for this one i'm going to be using the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the colors plaster and in truffle i'm also going to be using some fall florals this black and white buffalo check ribbon a paint brush floral foam this tin vase from dollar tree my hot glue gun pliers to cut my stems because i don't have wire cutters and some scissors to start out i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color plaster and i'm lightly painting that onto the vase i put paint on my brush and then took off the excess paint with a piece of paper towel before i started painting it on i still want some of that tin color to pop through i want to have a lot of dimension to this face i'm painting this on in all different directions this is really going to help give me that weathered aged look that i'm going for and once this white color paint is completely dry i'm taking the waverly inspirations chalk paint in the color truffle and i'm painting this on the same way i did the white paint i'm putting paint on my paintbrush and then wiping off the excess paint on a piece of paper towel before i start painting it on and by adding this second color it's really going to give me a lot of dimension to the vase and help with that weathered aged look that i'm going for once i have my base all painted and it's fully dried i'm going to be placing in some floral foam in the inside of my base so that it's ready for me to place in my flowers now i'm taking my pliers and cutting the stems of my sunflowers so that they're easier to place in my foam that's inside of my vase these ones i think i got from hobby lobby last year but you can use any kind of flowers that you want once i've got my stems all cut i'm simply going to be placing them inside of my vase and pushing them into that floral foam that i've already put inside of my base once i have the sunflowers all in my vase i'm going to be taking some of these stems that i picked up from dollar tree and i'm ripping them apart and then just cutting off the extra wire so that i had a few more bundles to put in my vase and i'm just pushing those into the floral foam just like i did the sunflowers now that i've got all of my flowers placed inside of my face i'm going to be taking this black and white buffalo check ribbon that i picked up from hobby lobby and i'm measuring it around the very top of my base because i'm going to be gluing it over top of that jute i'm placing a little bit of hot glue on the back of the vase and then i'm just wrapping the ribbon around and gluing the end piece over top of the already glued on piece of ribbon and that is the last step for this diy floral arrangement i really love how in both of these diys you can switch up the florals and the ribbon and really make it your own and that wraps it up for today's fall inspirational video i hope you enjoyed today's video if you did please give it a thumbs up and as always thank you so much for watching [Music]
