Autumn Themed Wood 'Canvas' Crafts

There is nothing quite like crafting for autumn, am I right? For some reason I feel so much more motivated to craft this time of year. I can't be the only one, right?!

This year my first craft of the season were decorated wooden squares.

Much like the craft I shared from last fall, this project is super flexible and can be modified easily to the supplies you have and the season you want to craft for.

How to make these decorative wood canvas crafts:

1. Start with your raw wooden block. Paint or stain desired color.

2. Apply any paper/photographs. For larger pieces, you can apply Mod Podge first. For smaller pieces, you will want to apply first, then add coat of Mod Podge. Check out the exclusive resource library to get some of the graphics and photos I used for this project! For some graphics, this may mean using an X-acto knife or scissors to extract graphics or text.

You may opt to add additional color or sparkle using colored pencils or pens prior to cutting them out.

3. Apply coat of Mod Podge with a paint brush. If you are using glitter, promptly apply once the coat ofMod Podge is on.

4. Heat up hot glue gun. Apply any bulky items (ribbon, fabric, sequins, etc.).

5. [OPTIONAL​] Apply additionalMod Podge if desired.

6. If using acrylic paint accents (including acrylic paint pens), add these last.

And you're done!
