Fall Sign Craft

Fall Sign

This is a great fall craft for children, young and old. Creating a fall sign, thanks to help from local craft stores, is fun and kids will love having their sign placed on a door, in the hall, or anywhere on the wall. All that is needed is some paint, letter stencils, paint brushes, a plain wooden sign with string attached (if string is not attached , just drill two holes and cut a long piece of twine, loop through the front and tie a knot behind each hole), and fall stickers.

Materials:

• 1 Wooden Sign with string attached for each person
• Fall Colored Craft Paints
• Letter Stencil
• Paint Brushes
• Fall Stickers

(all items available at craft stores)

Directions:

1. Paint the sign Orange or Yellow and let dry (if using craft paint, probably an hour or two).
2. Decide what to write on the sign and where to put it. Use a sponge brush or a small brush and the stencils to paint the letters, use a darker color than the background.
3. Let dry.
4. Place autumn leaf stickers on the corners and 3-D stickers throughout the sign.
5. Hang the sign and add some fall to the home.

If desired, use real leaves that have been pressed and placed between clear paper and mod podge. Place a thin layer of mod podge on one side, place on the sign, let dry a while, and then lightly coat the top side with mod podge and let dry.

There are so many ways to create a sign for fall, all of which will be enjoyable and put all involved in the mood for the season.
