I started out by drawing an arrow shape on a fence board and cutting it out.
I was able to cut three 2' long arrows from one 6' long fence board.
Then I painted the arrows in different fall colors
and used my Silhouette Cameo
to cut vinyl stencils to use to paint the words on each sign.
If you do not have a die cutting machine, no worries.
You can click here to see another sign project that I used a chalk tracing method on.
I sanded the edges and lightly distressed each sign before
adding some raffia.
I used a few other pieces of scrap lumber as stakes for each sign.
These stakes are screwed to the arrows from the back.
Now they can be used in the yard or stuck in a bale of straw.
Three of the signs are made with just one arrow.
and this sign is made using three arrows.

I am loving these. So cute and perfect for fall! I like the raffia, it adds the perfect touch. :-)

Thank you Sherri! Happy Fall to you too. I even think you guys might have gotten a little cooler weather recently!
DeleteI like the Fresh Apple sign, too. (I like them all.) I think it could be used as a decoration from summer to fall and even at Christmas. I wish I was going to the festival, it sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin sign sold first, but I still like the fresh apple one. I've had fun doing the festivals, but the only down side is that you can't really walk around and see much of it because you are at your own booth most of the time.
DeleteOh my! Those fall signs are super adorable! I love the font type, which has a very halloweenish vibe, and of course the mandatory fall colors of browns, yellows, oranges and reds. I'm sure your yard looks even more gorgeous with such darling additions. Thank you so much for sharing! Wishing everyone a happy autumn season!

DeleteDOn't you love the Silhouette Cameo..I also will use overhead projector sheets you can get the rolls as well to make great stencils with....Sheryl
ReplyDeleteSheryl, you must tell me more about these overhead projector rolls? I'm going to look into that. I do love my Sihlouette!
