Create a faux wood finish on this fall sign made with Dollar Tree supplies.

Materials

White foam board
Felt pumpkin decoration
White chalk spray paint
Acrylic paint in gray white and black

Tools

Paint brushes

Instructions

Start by painting a faux wood finish on the foam board.
To do this paint the whole board with gray paint.
While that paint is still wet, use a wide dry brush to streak white paint over the gray. The gray should show through the white.
Using a small brush, add black lines across the foam board to look like planks of wood.
Finally, use the white paint brush to smooth out and fade the black lines so they appear worn.
Let the foam board dry completely.
Take the board outside and place the pumpkin shape in the middle, weigh it down with rocks.
Spray multiple light coats of white chalk paint covering the entire board until the wood finish is no longer visible.
Remove the pumpkin and let everything dry.
