Looking for some inexpensive ways to decorate for the holidays?  I have just the thing for you!  How about this DIY fall sign to complete your Thanksgiving decorations?

You can use these printables to make a sign (instructions below)  or simply print them and add them to a frame!

This printable is available in 3 different colors

1. Give Thanks Burgundy
2. Give Thanks White Backdrop
3. Chalkboard Give Thanks

If you want to make this complete sign then take a look at the instructions below:

What you will need for this project:

• In all things give thanks printable (download above)
• MDF or Wood board
• Mod Podge
• Chip Brush
• Pine for wood frame
• Early American Miniwax Stain
• 220 grit sandpaper
• Nail gun or Rapid Fuse glue

How to make this DIY Fall sign

1. Cut your MDF or pine wood down to 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
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 – 3/4″ by 9 1/4″ 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.
