DIY Acrylic and Wood Fall Sign

Supplies

Acrylic or glass sign or frame (similar)
Unfinished wood letters
Americana Decor Texture in Bronze
Paint brush
Texture tool and/or palette knife
Adhesive mounting squares

Directions

You can use purchased unfinished wood letters from the craft store or you can make your own in the exact size and font of your choice like I did. If you’d like to cut out your own letters with a Cricut or cutting machine, feel free to use my cut file and you can read more about cutting wood with a Cricut machine here.

First, apply a thin coat of Americana Decor Texture over the entire surface and sides of the wood letters with a paint brush. Once dry, dip a texture tool or palette knife into the Americana Decor Texture and apply generously over the surface of the letters. To make the letters easier to control, I secured them onto my painting surface with adhesive mounting squares. You have a good amount of play time with the Texture so you can play with different patterns with the texture tool or palette knife until you have a design you like. I liked this rustic bark look I happened upon with my texture tool.

Allow to dry overnight since the the Americana Decor Texture was layered on thick. Make sure the acrylic or glass surface of your sign is clean. Apply mounting squares onto the backs of your wood letters and secure them onto your Acrylic and Wood Fall Sign in the arrangement you like.
