Reversible Halloween/Thanksgiving Decor

The problem with Halloween and Thanksgiving being so close together on the calendar is that, often times, you’re left to choose which one you want to decorate for. I know that I can’t be the only one that feels like Halloween decorations go up one week and then it’s time for Thanksgiving the next! Luckily, Darice has a perfect solution to this problem. With only the flick of your wrist, this reversible DIY fall craft decor will work perfectly from October right into November.

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-1Reversible DIY Fall Craft Decor Supplies:

  • Darice Wood Pumpkin with Open Mouth
  • Darice Maple Leaf & Sunflower Floral Pick
  • Stencil Vinyl
  • Transfer Paper
  • Cutting Machine
  • Darice Brown Matte Acrylic Paint
  • Darice Sponge Dabbers
  • “Thanks and Giving” Free File

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-2Step 1. Since the front side of the pumpkin decor is already perfect for Halloween, we’ll just be adding a little bit of paint and embellishments to the back for Thanksgiving. Use a cutting machine to cut the “Thanks and Giving” free file from the stencil vinyl. Weed out the letters so that you’re left with a stencil.

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-3Step 2. Use transfer paper to put the stencil in place in the center of the back of the pumpkin. Carefully pull away the transfer paper.

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-4Step 3. Use a dabber to apply paint to the stencil letters. You’ll find that dabbing the paint on (verses paint strokes) really helps cut back on the paint bleeding under the stencil.

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-5Step 4. Carefully remove the stencil. I found it easier to remove it while the paint was still drying but you do have to be more careful that you don’t accidentally smudge the paint.

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-7I absolutely love how easily this reversible DIY fall craft decor goes from this:

Reversible-DIY-Fall-Craft-Darice-9Hope you have fun making one to enjoy for many Halloween and Thanksgivings to come!
