DIY Fall Signs

DIY - Give thanks

What you will need for this project:

  • In all things give thanks printable (download above)

  • Mod Podge
  • Chip Brush
  • Pine for wood frame
  • Early American Miniwax Stain
  • 220 grit sandpaper
  • Nail gun or Rapid Fuse glue

In all things give thanks - DIY sign

How to make this DIY Fall sign

  1. Cut your MDF or pine wood down to 8 ½" x 8 ½".
  2. Next, apply mod podge to cover the entire front side of the board and carefully place your printable over the top.
  3. Smooth all of the wrinkles out with your finger and then let it dry. Do not apply mod podge over the top as it will cause the ink to smear.
  4. Once the mod podge is dry, use your sand paper to sand along the edges and remove the excess paper.
  5. Then I cut my pine down to strips - ¾" by 9 ¼" long.
  6. Stain the pine strips with Early American stain by Minwax.
  7. Once the stain is dry you can either use a finish nailer to attach the frame or use rapid fuse and clamp the frame to the sign until dry.
