How to Make a Black and White Fall Pumpkin Sign

Start this DIY project by removing the stake from the Dollar Tree metal pumpkin. You can twist and bend the stake until it breaks off, just be careful not to hurt yourself!

Next, you’re going to score lines horizontally across the back of your Dollar Tree sign. This is the base for your faux shiplap finish.

Deepen your lines with a screwdriver. Next, you’re going to paint the back of the Dollar Tree sign with brown paint. I used Apple Barrel Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint for this.

Allow the brown paint to dry completely. I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process. If you don’t have a heat gun, you can use a hairdryer on the low-cool setting.

Then, use a dry chippy paintbrush to lightly apply white paint over the coat of brown paint on your fall sign.

Use horizontal strokes and don’t go for full coverage. This will help you achieve the rustic, shiplap finish for this DIY fall decor!

Next, cut two strips about an inch thick out of your Dollar Tree cookie sheet. These strips will go vertically on the sides of the sign.

How to DIY with a Dollar Tree metal pumpkin stake

Don’t get me wrong, the metal pumpkin is adorable. But for it to work for my DIY idea, I had to make some edits to it!

I folded the metal leaves up so they wouldn’t get paint on them, then I painted the pumpkin white. The pumpkin had an indented embossed design, and I didn’t want the paint to get into the indents.

I let the white paint dry completely, then painted over it with the Apple Barrel Pavement Acrylic Paint.

Once the pavement paint was dry, I did a final coat of white paint over top. Then, I painted the stem of the pumpkin with the same pavement paint.

Lastly, I painted the leaves of the Dollar Tree metal pumpkin with Apple Barrel Moss Green Acrylic Paint.

I let the green paint dry, then folded the metal leaves back down into place. Next, I worked on painting the strips of the Dollar Tree cookie sheet.

I painted each of the tin sheet strips with the Apple Barrel Pavement Acrylic Paint. Let the paint dry on each strip

Make your DIY bow

I used something new to make the DIY bow for this adorable Fall sign: Dollar Tree Creepy Cloth! I’m serious, that’s what it’s called!

I laid it out flat and folded it over in small sections several times, then cut the folded section from the rest of the cloth.

Then, I cut the folded strip in half and folded one half in thirds. I pinched the middle, and it started to look like a bow!

Next, I cut two strips of the ticking fabric and got a few pieces of raffia to add to the bow. Place the fabric in an X pattern, place the folded cloth on top, and bundle up the raffia on top of the cloth.

Pinch the center and secure it with a piece of jute twine. Finally, hot glue a small button over the center of the bow and secure the adorable bow to the pumpkin, just below its stem!

Bring it all together

Dry place the pumpkin on the center of the sign and hot glue each of the painted tin strips on either side of the pumpkin.

Remove the jute from your Dollar Tree wired jute cord and thread your wood beads onto the wire until you’re happy with the length of the hanger.

Flip the sign over and hot glue the ends of the wire to the back of the sign! I hot glued a piece of fabric over each end to really secure the hanger in place.

Lastly, hot glue the metal pumpkin to the center of the sign.
