“It's Fall Y'all” Wood Sign Tutorial
designed by: Vicki Chrisman
Hello Little Blue House Friends.
Today I’m going to share with you how I
created the Fall wood wall hanging décor project I made with goodies from my Front Porch Kit. There are so
many fun things in this kit, I could have easily done this up with many
different variations, but this is what I chose.
Cut one strip of the
brown patterned paper (Harvest Acorns) 10”x 3 ¼”. Measure down from the top of the wood plaque
4 ½” and attach this piece temporarily with a small bit of repositionable
adhesive.
Flip your wood piece and
paper over and trace both edges where you will trim to fit. Once you have
trimmed by edges, you can permanently attach it to the wood piece.
You will do the same with
the cork paper. Fitting it at the bottom of the wood piece under the brown
paper you have just added. Lay the cork
paper down and trace for trimming in the same way.
Once you have the cork
paper trimmed to fit your plaque, adhering it is easy because the cork piece
has a self-adhesive backing. All you have to do is remove the backing and add
the cork to the wood piece. Cut a 1/4”
strip of the (Sweater Weather) paper and adhere just above the top of the cork
piece on your plaque.
Finish off by adding the
gold checked paper to the top section that is left, in the same way.
At any time now you can
adhere you ribbon for hanging.
Attach to the back of the wood plaque with a hot glue gun.

Now, cover five of the
chipboard banner pieces with a mix of the gorgeous fall papers from the kit.
Once they are all covered, punch holes with a small punch. Run the jute thru
each of them to create a banner. Tie
bows with the jute to attach to the ends of the banner once you have adhered it
to the bottom of the project (on the cork).
I found that the glue gun worked well for this.
Layout all the letters
and “Fall” word for the saying onto your plaque and make sure it’s where you
want it before adhering permanently. I
added some (Royal Coat- Dimensional Magic) to the word “Fall” to make it stand
off the page even more, Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze will work for this step too. (this is
optional) #note: be sure to let this completely dry before working any further.
Your last step is you
create and add your flowers. I used a
die to cut the paper flower pieces. You
can use any flower shaped die you might have, or you can cut the flower shapes
by hand.
Any simple flower shape will work fine.

To create the fabric base piece to start
with, you’ll be using the strip of muslin from your kit. With a needle and thread, just do a simple
loose running stitch along the inside edge.
Once you have finished, just pull it to gather and tie the two ends of
the thread together. Now you have your
base piece. Using a hot glue gun, layer
the other flower paper pieces on top, largest to smallest. Using the orange twine, run it thru the
button and tie a big bow. After attaching this to finish off the flower, add
the finished flower to the plaque.
I hope you feel inspired
to create a wall hanging/ plaque of your own.
It's great way to welcome in Fall.
