How to Make a Fab Fall Door Hanger with Dollar Tree Supplies
I shared the tutorial for this door hanger on a Facebook Live which you can catch here or if you prefer the photo tutorial, continue reading below.
Mix equal parts water and brown paint to create a “stain”. Paint the wood panel.
Next, paint the pumpkin with white chalky paint and the edges with light blue.
Prepare the printed paper napkins by removing additional ply layers leaving just the one printed layer and cutting out the image.
Apply a thin layer of decoupage or mod podge onto the white parts of the pumpkin.
Place the napkin on top of the glued area and gently press down with your fingers. You can also place a piece of parchment paper over the glued napkin and take your heated iron and gently rub back and forth.
Remove any excess napkin by gently rubbing with sandpaper.
Complete the same steps with the wooden leaf.
Once dry, add hot glue onto the wooden panel and glue your pumpkin and leaf onto it.
Add A Pretty Bow to the Fall Door Hanger
Make a double bow (you can learn how to make one here) and glue to the top of the wood panel.
Look at how lovely this beautiful fall decoration looks on our front door. The rich autumn colors pop against the warm wood base. The pumpkin colors have a coastal vibe that is a bit unexpected.
