sign used from hobby lobby

We will start by white-washing our sign from Hobby Lobby! I found this on sale for 50% off, making it about $3.50!

White wash your board by brushing on white paint

Go ahead and dry brush your white paint onto the board. You do not have to be perfect with this… because the sanding will do all the magic!

sand the white paint to make it look more smooth

See what I mean? Sanding it down with your sanding block helps mesh the paint into the board!

hot glue twine around the bottom of the sign

After that, simply wrap your twine around the bottom of the board a few times! I love the neutral look this brought to it.

hot glue your ribbons onto the sign

Now it’s time to work on the pumpkin! I simply found two styles of ribbon that matched my decor… and hot glued them on!

remove the greenery from the stem

I popped off the greenery that came with the pumpkin, and decided to add a a raffia bow!

After attaching my raffia bow, I hot glued on a little button to the middle, and stuck some white picks behind it!

I also added a little more twine to the edges of the pumpkin!

    Absolutely adore your inexpensive makeovers.
    I love to move things around in my house & decorate seasonal as well.
    Your decor style inspires me to have nice, quality decor in my not so fancy 100 year old Farmhouse.
    Thanks Brooke for sharing great finds & teaching your followers how to decorate on a budget.
