How to Stencil a Metal Pumpkin Sign for the Fall
A while back I ruined a potting shed sign I bought from Decor Steals, it was one of my favorites.
Unfortunately, when we built the wooden potting bench, I left the sign outside.
It looked great out on the potting bench but the sign was an indoor sign and was made with paper on metal and after a while the paper came off.
I loved the look and the shape of the sign so I scraped off what was left of the original sign.
I gave the metal sign a couple coats of off white chalky paint.
For the next step I used a combination of several stencils from Old Sign Stencils.
I began by stenciling the top and bottom of the sign with the newest stencil called You Pick Orchard.
I only used a portion of the stencil.
In the center of the sign I stenciled the word pumpkin with a very light grey chalky paint.
This part was from the Pumpkin Spice stencil also from Old Sign Stencils.
On top of the word pumpkin, I added a pumpkin, also from Old Sign Stencils, from the Fall Produce collection.
The next step was to go over the edges and the curve of the sign with a fine grit sandpaper to give the sign a rustic look.
Lastly, I sprayed the sign with a matte finished sealer for protection.
I love the way you can combine different stencils to create the look you want.
It lets you customize the sign to fit the canvas.
The stencils were the perfect size and shape for this repurposed metal sign.
I'm so happy I got to save at least a portion of the old sign.
This sign is fun because it can hang on the wall or stand on a table.
The sides of the metal are curved and helps the sign to stand alone or sit on a table.
I love the way it looks on my outdoor table.
