I just love decorating for fall, especially incorporating all the amazing colors of the season. This year, I wanted to create something special. I used a found a thrift store plate stand and added Chalky Finish paint and Creme Wax to make something unique and festive.!

Here’s my bargain find— a metal plate stand.

Paint the metal stand with Delicate.

Then do a light coat of Rustic on the leaves. The idea is to layer the paint, so that much like a fall leaf, there will be many different colors.

Brush Romance on the leaves.

Add some Heritage.

Paint the frame with Rustic and paint a little New Leaf on the leaves. Then go around the leaves with Rustic. Apply Creme Wax.

Punch holes in the chipboard letters and string with twine. 

Arrange faux pumpkins on plates.

Tie a burlap bow on frame.

Add letters and plates.
