Rustic Stenciled Pumpkin Patch Sign
I started this rustic fall project because I just put out my fall decorations and I needed a sign.
You'd think I'd have a sign by now, after 12 years of making signs and projects for Homeroad but I don't so I made one in no time...
First, I found an old rough hewn board with lots of texture.
I painted the board in Raw Silk by Fusion Mineral Paint.
When the paint dried I grabbed a few of my favorite Old Sign Stencils for the fall.
I used a combination of these signs...
I took the pumpkin from the Fall Produce stencil, the word PATCH from the Pumpkin Patch stencil and the word Pumpkin from the Pumpkin Spice stencil. Finally I used the words you pick and the 5 cents from the You Pick Orchard stencil.
I began by finding the center of the board and stenciled the pumpkin. I added darker shading at the bottom of the pumpkin using a little dark green paint.
After I finished stenciling the sign I needed to add a black line at the bottom and top of the board.
I used Frog Tape to create a small line between the tape and stenciled it in black. Frog Tape is the absolute best painter's tape for no leakage.
When the sign was finished I gave it a good sanding to distress the painted words.
And now I have a pumpkin patch sign!
Thanks so much for visiting and before you go be sure to sign up for the Homeroad emails so my next DIY tutorial will be sent straight to you.
