Pumpkin season is here and this Hello Pumpkin sign made with Fairfield World’s Oly*Fun® and Project Foam is perfect to add to your decor! It can be hung on the wall, the door or set on a shelf or table. I love it as a door hanger!

Materials used:

Fairfield World™ Oly*Fun® in Orange Crush & Hot Fudge
Fairfield World™ Project Foam
Pre-made Wood Sign
Scissors
Sewing Machine
Glue (I used E6000)
Wood Letters (I cut mine on a laser, but you can purchase them)
Paint for the letters

How I made it:

I first started by drawing a pumpkin and stem with a marker on the Project Foam. I knew that my sign was only 14″x14″ so I needed to make it smaller than that. I cut it out with my scissors.

I laid the foam pumpkin and stem shapes on the orange and brown Oly*Fun® and traced around them, adding about a 1/2″.

Once everything was cut out, I sewed the pieces together with a 1/4″ seem and leaving an opening for inserting the foam.

I flipped the sewn Oly*Fun® so the seam was inside and them inserted the foam.

I sewed the openings closed. I then sewed a curved line on each side, giving it a more realistic pumpkin look.

Then I glued the stem to the pumpkin.

Using my Glowforge, I cut out the Hello Pumpkin letters and painted them orange.

Then it was time to glue everything down to the sign.

I love how the sign turned out! Fall decorations are my favorite decorations! I hope you like it too! You could make lots of different size pumpkin signs and make a collage! There is a variety of Oly-Fun® colors!

Until next time….Happy Crafting!

Welcome Signs for front doors are very popular right now and this adorable upcycled welcome sign is perfect on my door! I’m joining some of my favorite crafters for the 9th edition of Creative Crafts – Recycled Crafts Edition to create upcycled crafts. I made this sign from a sign that I recently took down from my craft room.

Materials:

An old sign
Welcome cut out that I cut on my Glowforge and then painted black
9″ x 12″ craft cut of Kunin Felt® Classicfelt: (1) Peacock, (1) Apple Green
Acrylic Paint
E6000 glue
Paint Brush
Scissors

How I made it:

I started by painting my sign. I picked this bright yellow paint from DecoArt. Bright colors are just making me so happy lately! Before painting, I pulled the wire up front the front so that I didn’t paint the little curls in the ends. I ended up having to do three coats of paint to get it covered to my liking.

Next, I made felt flowers. There are plenty of options for making felt flowers but these are the ones I picked. The first one I cut a circle from the blue felt and then cut it to create a spiral. I then wrapped it from the center outward, gluing it in place as I went. The second flower I cut a long strip of the blue felt, folded it in half and glued it on the ends and along the edges. Using my scissors, I cut short slits in the folded side, making sure not to cut all the way to the edge of the glued side. I then rolled it up, gluing it as I rolled. I cut leaves from the green felt.
