Hello, my sweet friends!

It’s all about fall around here now. I’m all in!! I think. ha! I miss summer but do love the crisp fall days and all that it brings.
So, today, let me show you this adorable sign I made for our front porch.

I stopped by the ReStore last week when I was out and found a few goodies to make over. One of them was this sign that I’m sharing today.

They had a bunch of these so I picked one up. I thought it’d be a great base for a new, different sign.
It was super simple to do, you can do this too!

Time needed: 1 hour

DIY Hello Pumpkin Sign

  1. Tape the frame

    I used FrogTape to tape the frame to protect it from overspray.A rectangular tray with a minimalist cactus illustration in pastel pink, green, and white. The tray edges, accented like a hello pumpkin sign, are lined with green tape as it rests on a light marble surface.

  2. Spray paint the inside

    I then spray it with BIN primer, followed by white satin spray paint. Let dry.A rectangular wooden tray painted white sits on a marble surface. The image has a light, airy feel with neutral tones, and the corner of a hello pumpkin sign logo is visible in the bottom right corner.

  3. Remove the tape

    Remove the tape to get it ready for the next step.A rectangular whiteboard with a wooden frame is placed on a marble surface, beside a cozy hello pumpkin sign. In the background, a folded gray cloth and some assorted items are partially visible.

  4. Print out image in reverse

    Lay the printed image over the board and transfer.A rectangular wooden frame with a white background lies on a marble surface. Faint, partially visible text inside the frame reads "HELLO pumpkin," creating a cozy, rustic hello pumpkin sign for autumn décor.

  5. Transfer Image

    Next, print out the image you are going to use and transfer it to your board.A rectangular white hello pumpkin sign with a wooden frame displays faint, cursive gray text. The sign is set on a light-colored surface.

  6. Paint “in the lines”

    Hand paint over the transferred image.A person paints the word pumpkin in orange script on a white wooden hello pumpkin sign, with a paint palette of black and orange nearby.

  7. Add a pumpkin, if desired

    You can leave the pumpkin off and keep it simple or add it in like so.A wooden tray with a painted orange pumpkin design and the words "hello pumpkin" styled like a sign. The pumpkin features loose brushstrokes on a white surface, with the initials acy in the bottom right corner.

I traced the pumpkin that was in the printable/image onto the board and then used several colors to create the look of the pumpkin.

Oh! And do you see my little mat there?? Yep, I painted it. If you missed my “new simple autumn wreath” post, and how terrible this mat looked then, hop over and see it here.

I just grabbed a can of paint from the garage and hand-painted it right back in.
Good as new! Yippee!! (I used Rustoleum Ultra Cover Indoor/Outdoor paint in flat black, worked great!)

See those faux ferns though?? Yea, not so good! They have faded out on the edges to a neon blue/green color.

You’ll have to stay tuned for my fall porch post to see them though. ;) Unless you sneaked a peek of it over on my Instagram.

Cute sign, so easy! And the pumpkin was easy to paint too.

Again, stay tuned for my fall porch to see what I did with those ferns and how they look up there on the porch now. Those lights are getting a makeover soon too. We are going to take them down, clean them up and spray paint them.

Oh and look who was peeking out at me as I was taking some of these photos.

The word Nancy is written in elegant, flowing black script, reminiscent of Chalk Style Paint For Furniture, with a heart shape used to form the dot above the letter i. The background is plain white.

    1. Thanks, Kathy! We haven’t fully decided what color, they are just very worn looking and either need replacing or just freshened up with paint. See you tomorrow with my very simple fall porch! xoxo
