Pumpkin Sign
This is a great way to welcome visitors to your home. You get to inscribe your message onto the pumpkin. Making the sign is easy and straightforward.
Cut a hole at the back of the pumpkin, scoop some pulp and seeds. Remove some of the flesh, so it is light enough to hang. Carve an outline of the desired phrase on the pumpkin — Color the center of the letters with a black oil-based paint pen. Finally, cut holes at the top of the pumpkin where you will attach the rope that will hang the sign.
Rustic Wood Sign
A wooden sign is a great way to express your woodworking expertise. You can use a scroll saw or jigsaw to cut out a maple leaf on the sign. Stain these letters with different colors to achieve a rustic look. You can paint your wood or use reclaimed wood, so it appears a bit weathered.
Glowing Leaf Jars
Maple leaf lanterns are made using silk or real leaves. You will also need some mason jars. It is better to go with silk leaves because they last longer.
