Who’s ready for a fun pumpkin door hanger makeover?! I found this gorgeous piece as I was shopping at Big Lots for Fall, and just HAD to have it! It technically doesn’t have to be used as a door hanger… but I thought it was the perfect piece to display on a front door!
As you may know, my Fall decor doesn’t include much orange… so, I wanted to fix it up to match my style!
What you will need for the makeover…

The very first thing I did, was paint the “welcome” words black. I knew this wouldn’t be the end result, but I needed to cover up that orange color, so it wouldn’t peek through.
By painting it black, when I sand it down after painting the green on top, the black will just barely show through… which is exactly what I want!
I also popped off the raffia bow that came with the sign!
Next, paint the leaves! You could totally leave them with the galvanized look, but I thought the green would help tie it all together!
Time to work on the welcome word!
I went over it a few times with my green paint. I kept adding more coats until I got the green color I was going for!
The color paint I used with Marsh Green from Apple Barrel, and mixed it with a bit of white! After The paint dried, I sanded down the whole word.
I decided to go with a raffia bow for this one, but you could totally make a Re-Fabbed Bow to go in it’s place!
Check it out!!! What a simple and easy makeover, am I right?!
When my green paint was dry, I added some white highlights!
The way the original galvanized look was coming through the green paint on the leaves was GORGEOUS!
I loved it so much, that I decided to gift it to my mom! She was tickled pink with it… and it’s going to look SO GOOD on her front door for Fall!

Love the green, I’m really tired of seeing so much black!
Brooke, I got a blue pumpkin sign with “thankful” on it at the Dollar Tree. Wish I knew how to attach a picture to this post.
Yours if beautiful but I think mine is cute for a dollar.
Super cute, be easy remake.
I love the makeover. That green is beautiful and looks so much better than the orange.
