Oh Hello Fall Door Hanger
This “Oh Hello Fall” door hanger was so easy to make and super inexpensive using a thrift store find!
Hello, wonderful friends!
I hope you have had an amazing week! I am sharing a brand-new makeover today… for fall.
Too soon?? Ha!
I’m not saying I’m ready for fall…but I’m not saying I’m not!! lol Anyway, I saw this sign at the thrift store and decided to make something for fall with it since it’s coming up either way, ready or not. Right?
Oh Hello Fall Door Hanger

Eh, it’s cute but kind of beat up and boring. Just a cheap-o print.
So I brought it home to make over. (By the way, I found a really large tray/sign the same day that was also $6… and they were half price, so I got both for $6 total.)
Before doing anything, I lightly sanded over the whole thing and sprayed a coat of primer on.
MATERIALS SOURCE LIST
- Primer
- Snowdrop Paint
- Velour Roller
- Tracing Paper
- Winchester Paint
- Prairie Sunset Paint
- Plaster Paint
- Ash Paint
- Small Paint Brush
- Stencil (it’s an old stencil; this is the closest I could find)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Florals
Then, I painted over it with “Snowdrop”, which is a newer color by Fusion Mineral Paint that is very white.


Once that was dry, I created and printed out the words.

Then used this transfer paper to transfer it onto the circle.


Now that it is transferred, just paint it in.

I’m going old school today!! haha! I haven’t done this in forever.

I originally planned to paint the whole thing in black. (well, “Ash”, which is a softer black) But decided to paint the word “fall” in Winchester to pull in color from the florals I am using.


For the bottom, I thought this old stencil I recently came across would be fun.

And again, pulling from the colors of the florals I’m using, this is the color I chose.

For the top, I wasn’t really sure if the underneath would show with the flowers over top. But just in case they did, I decided to use a warm color to match the off white florals. Plaster…



I like to lay out the flowers before committing to hot glue. This is what I’m going for.

Give or take, anyway.
And to finish it up, I usually like to lightly sand over my lettering to soften it up and take the harsh edge off.

Better.

Now to add the flowers…

Oh, I also added this rope hanger by stapling it to the back. It didn’t really have any way to hang it on the back. Not the way it needs to be hung anyway.

I laid everything out and hot-glued it to the board. Then the leaves that were left over from the stems, I added here and there to add fullness, etc.





That’s it!!
SO easy!

By the way, in case you couldn’t guess, I’m not a traditional fall color lover. (most of the time, anyway) I love mauves, rust, some yellows and even aquas for fall. Orange and brown, not so much.



No, not quite ready for fall. But my front door is!! lol!
PIN it to save it!

Have a wonderful weekend, sweet friends!!
xoxo











Loved it, so sweet!!!
Oh, so pretty. I’m ready for Fall. It was 98 here in Jax the other day. UUggh! So, get the pumpkin crafts ready!! I’m in. Ha, ha, as you would say. I love the color you used for FALL. It looks good hanging on your door and pretty colors for late summer. Have a good weekend. (I can’t believe I’m on time with my comments today…whoohoo)
