Instructions
- Start by printing the jar silhouette printable and transferring it to the top of your pallet sign. Line up the top and side and then trace with a pencil. Repeat on both sides.
- Use a scroll saw to cut around your lines. Be sure to be cautious of staples holding this sign together. Remove before cutting if they are in your cutting area. Use a sander to clean up your cuts.
- I also rounded the edges of the other end. I did not use a template for these cuts but rather free handed the design.
- Add two coats of a good quality outdoor paint to the entire sign. I used a sand color from Americana Outdoor Living. Allow to dry completely before continuing.
- Print the leaf template. Lay on top of the painted sign in the place where you would like it to be. Trace with a pen while pushing down hard. You will be left with an indentation where your design should be.
- Fill in your leaf design with a copper colored paint. It took me about four coats to get proper coverage in this area. Again, use a good quality outdoor paint and allow to dry in between coats.
- I also added the copper paint in the “lid” area. After all the paint was dry, I tied on some burlap ribbon around the jar “neck”.
- I also added a burlap flower with some hot glue to finish off my mason jar sign. Add this fall decor to your front porch for a touch of autumn.
