30+ of the cutest DIY Halloween Signs you NEED to make.

Hi friend. I hope you are having a great Tuesday so far. Yesterday was the first day of Fall. YAY! It’s been pretty chilly here in Utah lately which is totally fine now because it’s that time of year. And that means my baby girl will be here in no time. I scheduled to be induced on November 22nd and I am so excited. I can’t wait you guys! It’s so crazy to finally be having a baby after so many years of infertility. If you haven’t ready our infertility story and want to you can HERE. Because it’s Fall I have been writing all the Fall and Halloween blog posts. You can see them all at the bottom of this blog post. But I want to share some of the cutest farmhouse DIY Halloween signs.

You will adore these signs as much as I do I’m sure. I have a side business where I make wood signs and have had booths at tons of shows so making farmhouse signs is something I really enjoy doing. Not everyone does though! So you can purchase any of these cute DIY Halloween signs rather than making them.

I have included 10 links to some of my favorite Etsy shops. But a lot of the listings include multiple signs in each one. So you will see 30+ Halloween signs here.

Learn How to Make These Easy Pumpkin Crafts for Cheap.

Hi Friend. Thanks for stopping by the blog today. The weather has been a little chilly in Utah lately, and I’m all about it! It’s means Fall is here. I have been in Fall mode for the past few weeks. Even though it was pretty hot last week still. So if you have been following the blog for a while you probably have seen all the Fall and Halloween crafts I have been posting lately. I’ve been all about easy pumpkin crafts and spooky Halloween DIY’s.

My goal this year while creating new Fall and Halloween DIY’s was to create crafts that were budget friendly. A lot of the projects I have been working on I used items I already had around the house or that barely cost anything. These easy pumpkin crafts can be done in no time. You will be able to make your own farmhouse wood pumpkins to display anywhere in your home.

Some of the links on my blog are affiliate links, meaning no additional cost to you, I earn a commission if you purchase through the links. Thanks for supporting my dream!

Items your will need for this cute farmhouse pumpkin project:

3 – 2X4 wood pieces. Each wood piece was 6 inches tall
Orange Acrylic Paint
Cream Acrylic Paint
Paint Brush
Rope
Scissors
Twine
Hot Glue Gun
Hot Glue

You will need to cut your 2X4 into 6 inch pieces. I used 3 of them to bundle together.

I painted each wood piece Orange on the front, back, and all 4 sides.

It will take a little while to dry. I let it dry for about 30 minutes.

Once the entire wood piece was dry I put Cream paint over the top. I lightly brushed it over the Orange paint. But made sure you could still see spots of Orange peeking through.

Keep reading.

This is a technique I use to avoid sanding. You don’t always need to sand you can just lightly brush over with paint to create a weathered rustic look.

Same as before you will need to let the paint dry for about 30 minutes. Once the paint is dry you can hot glue the pumpkin stem.

I just used rope and cut it into 2 inch pieces.

I hot glued the rope onto the top of the wood block.

After the pumpkin was complete I bundled them all together using twine. And tied a bow on the front.

They are sitting on my mantel and look super cute.

I love how they still have the Halloween look but also add the farmhouse touch that I adore. It’s crazy what you can make that barely costs anything with items around the house. You just have to be creative and open to trying new things.

If you make these pumpkins don’t forget to tag me on Instagram. I love seeing your DIY’s that you make from my tutorials.

So I can’t forget to ask you… Have you ever thought about making your own blog? I get this question all the time “How do you start a blog?” or “Can you really make money from blogging?”

The answer is YES!

I never thought I would be able to make a full time income from my blog but I am. It still blows my mind everyday. Because I get to work on my own time, and be my own boss.

Items you will need:

Let’s get down to business!

I had these bottles in my craft room just waiting to be used. I used two wine bottles and one vintage style glass bottle. You can get it HERE. I got it from Dollar Tree which is one of my favorite affordable stores to purchase DIY supplies.

I use this technique all the time to create texture on items. It’s super easy. You will rip paper towel pieces up and mod podge them on your bottle. This creates a really cool effect when it dries.

They will take some time to dry. I let the 3 bottles dry over night. To make sure they were ready to paint.

Once the mod podge textured paper towel layer was dry I painted the bottles black. I used black acrylic paint.

It will take at least 2 layers of acrylic paint to cover the bottles completely.

Once the bottles were painted and dry. I wrapped twine a few times around the top of the bottle.

These cute skulls were plastic rings that I cut off the ring part and hot glued them on the end of the twine.

DO YOU LOVE FREEBIES?!

Next, you will need to mod podge the FREE POTION LABELS on the bottles you will get them sent right to your inbox by filling your info below.
