I have been itching to make something new for fall!
First I sprayed the frame with brown spray paint
Then I sprayed the frame with orange spray paint
After the frame dried, I sanded it a bit.
I like to use a faux glaze that I have tinted with some brown acrylic paint. I applied it in small areas at a time and wiped it off rather quickly with a rag so it doesn't give it a smeared look.
When the frame was dried, I nailed some upholstery tacks in the corners and a couple down the sides.
I then, strung some jute around the upholstery tacks.
I didn't happen to get a picture of the frame before I started adding the banner!
Here are the instructions for the banner.
I used a triangle pattern and cut some triangles is 2 different sizes in a scrapbook paper. I cut the largest triangle in the burlap scrapbook paper, and the triangle that was a little smaller in the orange scrapbook paper.
I then, used double sided tape to attache some old book paper to regular printer paper, so I could run it through my printer.
I then printed the letters for FALL out on the book pages.
I then used the smallest triangle and cut out the letters.
I punched some leaves out of scrapbook paper and attached them with little clothes pins.
I glued some some string to some small pine cones I had collected and tied them on.
What did you make for fall?
