Don’t sleep on Dollar General, y’all! You can EASILY transform decor like this into something that fits your style. Come along with me as I show you how I did just that!

When I spotted this $3 find, I instantly had the idea to use scrapbook paper behind it!

To see the ENTIRE process, be sure to watch my LIVE VIDEO on FACEBOOK!

here’s what you’ll need…

*tap on the bolded items to shop my affiliate links!*

• dollar general $3 pumpkin decor
• re-fabbed hot glue gun/hot glue
• paint brushes (check out my faves!!!)
• the best scissors!
• re-fabbed scrapbook paper (currently sold out)
• apple barrel white paint (I HIGHLY recommend using spray paint to save time!)
• apple barrel black paint

First, I painted the pumpkins and edges of my sign white!

This process took a good 20 minutes, so like I mentioned above, I would DEFINITELY recommend spray painting your sign to save on time!

Next, I grabbed my scrapbook paper and cut into two vertical strips to fit behind my sign.

It looks very obvious I connected the two pieces here, but trust the process!

To adhere the scrapbook paper on, I simply dabbed some hot glue onto the sides of my sign, and laid the scrapbook paper on top. I apologize I don’t have pictures of this process!

See what I mean… You would NEVER know!

Finally, I painted on some whimsy black stripes around the frame of the sign!

This really made the sign STAND OUT, don’t you think?!?

After this, I went back and touched up some places with more white paint to give it more of a finished look.

AHHH! I am obsessed with how this turned out! I hope this inspires you to see what a generic sign COULD be!

How adorable would this be hanging on a gallery wall or in built in’s???

RUN over to your local Dollar General and pick up this sign, but don’t forget to take my advice and spray paint it!

PIN FOR LATER!
