 Fall is probably my favorite time of the year!  I love cool sweater days!  I always have a difficult time with fall decor because my mind instantly jumps to Halloween.  This year I vowed to give autumn it’s due welcome!  Whip up your own DIY Fall Decor in less than 30 minutes!  This can easily be used again for Thanksgiving decor!

I created a stencil using my cutting machine and some adhesive vinyl.  The wooden plaque I purchased at Michaels and stained it with a weathered oak stain.

Carefully peel and apply the adhesive vinyl to your wooden plaque.

Choose an acrylic craft paint to use on the lettering.

Pro tip:  I use a foil cupcake liner for easy clean up!

Begin applying the paint using a blotting sponge.  This also gives it a vintage appearance.  Continue until all lettering is filled in.  Allow to dry.  (May require a second coat depending on the color you chose.)

Once dry, carefully remove the adhesive vinyl.

I added some paper leaves for a finishing touch!

It looks adorable on my side table next to a mason jar votive!
