I purchased a whitewashed framed wood piece from Hobby Lobby around Easter time for the mantel. I am using the same piece, changing it up to go on a shelf for Fall. Just in time, this week Hobby Lobby is running their wood craft supplies 50% off.

For a shelf in our laundry room I took my frame, two Dollar Tree items and craft paint to create a sign.
I took Terracotta craft paint and painted the back of the frame.
DIY Blessed Fall Sign
Next, I took the Dollar Tree wall decal and I cut out the wording. You could also can use your Cricut and create your own wording.
I applied the blessed decal to the bottom of my sign, using my Cricut roller making sure it is all adhered to the sign.
I took a Dollar Tree Fall wall hanger and separated the two leaves.
Taking the larger of the two leaves, traced around the leave with a pencil, leaving off the stem.
I took the smaller leaf and carefully removed the pattern paper off the cardboard. Started at the points of the leaf slowly.
I applied the paper to the frame with wallpaper paste.
I painted the larger leaf and lettering with parchment.
Trying the technique Tammy over at Patina and Paint shared in one of her videos on her pumpkins. If you haven’t seen Tammy’s tutorial click here → PUMPKIN PAINTING. So I grabbed 4 different colors. Spice red, terracotta, evergreen and parchment to try out the technique. I just loved how this turned out.
Placed a little dab of each color to a plate.
Dipped my brush in the parchment and then in each other color. Applied it to the leaf in a shallow C shape.
I did the same with the little stem but only used the parchment and evergreen paint.
Let the paint dry and then sealed it with polycrylic.
Displayed my Blessed sign up on my shelf.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Terrie your blessed sign is absolutely gorgeous! I love all the colors and the 3D affect you created with the leaves. You are so darn creative, my friend!! Happy weekend!

Thanks Niky, I love working with Dollar Tree items to share inspiration. I am happy you like my sign. Thanks for hopping with us Niky!
Very cute sign, Terrie. I love the mix of colors and the layering of materials. I never think to decorate my laundry room. Thanks for the suggestion and hosting.
Thanks Carol. The laundry room is used more than our front entryway so I do like to add a little bit of decor in there as well. So happy to hop with you!
I love the paint technique. Really softened the whole look. Perfect fall decor piece. Need to learn this skill! Did you trace the lettering and then paint white? Somehow I missed that step.
Thanks Kelli. I did trace over the wall decal in the white craft paint and painted it all in. I like black but I wanted a white and orange sign. Not sure if I shared the painting words but did mention I painted over the wording.
As always I am amzaed at what you can create from something. Turned out so pretty!
Thanks Corine. I love to create sometimes it turns out and sometimes it doesn’t, but you never know until you try, right? Thanks again for joining us this month. Always love working with you!
I love how your ‘Blessed’ sign turned out, Terri! It’s a lovely handcrafted work of art and a great way for everyone to realize just how blessed we are! Perfect for these times, Fall, and Thanksgiving!
Terrie, I am over the moon in love with this sign.
Woo Hoo a Dollar Tree us almost finished by us.
The stickers will be top on my list!
Thanks for hosting!
Thanks Cindy. I am glad I shared some inspiring crafts with you. The wall decal was super easy to work with. Happy Fall sweet friend.
Thank you Gail. I have to agree with you. We are so blessed and sometimes we forget this!
