Hello there!  I just love this time of year.  Fall is my favorite season and I start decorating for it as soon as I can.  This year I went to Michaels for all my craft supplies.  I was inspired by all the pumpkins and floral accents in Michaels Harvest Market, that I decided to create my own mini pumpkin market decor with new satin enamels and chalky paints.  It looks so good on my front porch.  Today, I am sharing how I made the DIY Pumpkin Market Fall Decor and hope to inspire you to get crafty.

Supplies:

• Americana Decor Satin Enamels 8 oz – Artifact
• Americana Decor Satin Enamels 8 oz – Deep Ruby
• Americana Decor Satin Enamels 8 oz – Honey Gold
• Americana Decor Creme Wax 8 oz 
• Bushel Basket
• Pumpkins
• Wood Tent Sign
• Floral Accents (Flowers, Berry Stems, Moss)
• Electronic Cutting Machine + Tools
• Vinyl and Transfer Tape
• Paint Brushes

All craft supplies can be found and purchased at Michaels or online at Michaels.com  Americana Decor Satin Enamels. Metallics, and Chalky Finish Paints can be found in the Stains and Finishes aisle at Michaels.  For more information about the Americana Decor Paints, check out DecoArt.com.  

Instructions:

I started by painting the wood bushel basket with one coat of Americana Decor Satin Enamels in Artifact.  This is a medium to light gray color.  Once the paint was dry, I applied one coat of Creme Wax using a round wax brush.  The wax gives the basket a white wash look and helps seals the paint.

Next, I painted some white craft pumpkins found in Michaels Harvest Market section by mixing Americana Decor Satin Enamels in Deep Ruby and Honey Gold.  One coat was plenty and I love the different shades.  By mixing paint colors, you can make your own custom colors and it’s a great way to use up any extra paint.

I made a pumpkin market sign using a wood tent sign found in Michaels wood section.  I started by painting one coat of the Honey Gold paint and letting it dry.

Next, I made a image using my Silhouette Cameo.  You can download the cut file here.  It is a simple text with an arrow 4 x 6 inches image which fits perfectly on the wood sign.  Use a piece of vinyl to cut the image on.

I placed the vinyl using a piece of transfer tape on the menu board and painted a very thin coat of Deep Ruby over the vinyl and board.  Once the paint was dry, I removed the vinyl using a weeding tool and used a piece of sandpaper to distress the surface.

I filled the bushel basket with a bag of Spanish moss, daisies, berry stems, and the painted craft pumpkins.

This DIY Pumpkin Market Fall Decor would be great to display outside on a patio or porch or you can decorated the inside of your home.  I like the traditional colors of fall and you can leave this decor up through Thanksgiving.
