• Wood canvas (I bought this in the craft area at the dollar store, just flip it upside down to make a tray)

• Mod Podge
• Paintbrushes
• Spooky lettering (stickers, handwritten or use your Cricut machine)

Paint and Decorate a Halloween Wood Tray

Start by flipping your wood canvas over and painting the inside with white paint.

Once dry, add some painters tape on the inside and paint the outside black. You can skip the tape if you have any sort of precision with painting, but I don’t.

Remove the tape and wait for your tray to dry.

You can use your tray now but I decided to make some fun Halloween lettering to add to the middle. I used my Cricut machine to cut the word BOO.

Add a layer of matte Mod Podge all over the Halloween wood tray and wait for it to completely dry.

Once it’s dry all you have to do is decorate your Halloween wood tray with your spooky decorations!

DIY Thankful Wood Sign

This is how the wood sign looked when I got it. I’m going to transform it using some paint and contact paper.

First gently pop off the little thankful lettering. This breaks easily so be careful. You can always use stickers or make your own letters from a Cricut machine.

Carefully remove the backing.

I painted the letters with brown paint to match the edge of the sign. 

Use any contact paper you have to wrap around the backing. I love the marble look but you can buy different styles at the dollar store. You can use paint instead but you may have to do a few coats.

Reattach the backing to the frame.

Glue the thankful letters back on to the sign. I chose not to attach it so I could change it up. I plan to use it as part of a fall centerpiece for our table.

All you have to do is find a place to display it. This one came with hooks so you can add it to a wall, shelf or mantle. I love how this DIY thankful wood sign turned out! Its minimal and you can also use it as a wooden tray when you’re done displaying it.
