As promised when I shared a couple of September Quote Free Printables, today I have a very short tutorial on how to make this DIY Fall Woodland Frame. I’m also joining my DIY Tips and Tricks team so those links will be at the end of the post.
What you need: picture frame, sheet moss, scissors, glue gun, acorns, pine cones, sticks or any other natural elements you can gather. (Reminder: click the yellow text (red on mobile) for links to helpful posts or sources.)
My original vision for this project was to make an actual chalkboard with a frame covered in moss and sticks. Once I got to thinking about it, I decided that a chalkboard printable would be so much easier so that’s the route I took. The heck with chalkboard paint! My shopping trip was amazingly successful because I found peel-and-stick sheet moss. I had no idea there was such a thing but it’s fun and super simple to use. Just measured the width of your frame and cut strips of the moss. Next, peel the backing off and carefully adhere it to the frame.
With your glue gun, apply pine cones, acorns and sticks to your frame. I started at the corners and worked out. You could do just the corners or embellish the entire frame.
If you can’t gather pine cones or acorns, just get a bag of fall potpourri or vase filler. All the craft stores have realistic faux items you can purchase as well. I know the chalkboard printable I used is about September…but here is a cute Trick or Treat printable you can use next month. I’ll make sure and hook you up for November as well. So…easy right?
Here are the projects my Tips and Tricks team came up with this month. These girls never disappoint so stop by if you have time.
