Fall Watercolor Farmhouse Sign and Craft Day with my Daughter

This week, Audrey and I have been watching Shannon's YouTube videos at The Daily DIYer for inspiration for a craft to do together during Labor Day weekend. We wanted something for fall that was easy and that we could create for some of our family and friends, as well. We were inspired by her DIY Fabric and Wood Farmhouse Fall Sign.


We tweaked the project just a little to bring down the cost and time since we were making so many. Instead of fabric and heat transfer vinyl, we printed our sign on cardstock. The beautiful watercolor printable I found was graciously offered for free by Allison at Crafty Mama Online and it added some subtle color to the sign. We also added some orange tulle to give it extra texture since the sign itself was paper.



The signs were incredibly simple and took only minutes to make. It took longer for the stain to dry than anything.We made one for ourselves and a few for friends, both of the kiddos grandmas for Grandparent's Day and one for Audrey's teacher. Literally the only hard part was running out of printer ink on the very last print, which meant a trip to town to get some more.

I truly enjoyed the time together with Audrey and we hope that our friends and family will enjoy their new fall signs!
