You will need:

– 4, 5×7 canvases 

– 4 pieces of scrapbook paper

– scissors

– mod podge (I used the matte finish)

– wooden letters

– paint

– paintbrush 

– glue (I used gorilla glue)

First, paint the wooden letters. While they dry, trace the scrapbook paper with a canvas and cut the paper out. Second, mod podge the scrapbook paper on to the canvas and let it dry completely. After your letters and canvases are dry, glue the wooden letters to the center of the canvases and let them dry over night. Ta da!

I propped my letters on the mantel, but you could also attach the canvases to ribbon and hang the letters from your mantel. Add some fall foliage, a scarecrow, framed fall printout, and a candle and your mantel is complete!

Helpful hint for the candle project: put the candle in the vase before you pour the beans and candy corn. It will make your life so much easier.

Here is a picture of my table. I spray painted the pumpkins with looking glass spray paint, and sprinkled leaves all over.

I hope you enjoy decorating for fall as much as I did!

Happy crafting!
