Early Fall Door Decor (That Easily Changes With the Seasons!)

Ugh.  I’m sort of hating myself right now.  You see, I promised myself that I absolutely would not post anything fall-related until mid-September at the earliest.

But then I made this early fall door decor.  And I caved and decided to post it now anyway.  Because the truth is that I am so far behind schedule on all of my other projects that I really had nothing else to write about now.

I hope you’ll forgive me.  And I hope you like it.  (And I hope you “Pin It.” Ha!)  This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!

Supplies Needed to Make Early Fall Door Decor

  • Beadboard hanging plaque (I purchased this one)
  • Wooden letter  (I purchased this one)
  • Velcro dots*
  • Embellishments of choice (I used a faux flower and faux berries)
  • Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Primitive*
  • Minwax Stain in Dark Walnut*
  • Americana Multi-Surface Paint in Gold*
  • Foam brushes
  • Raffia*

Instructions for How to Make Early Fall Door Decor

First, paint the beadboard hanging plaque with the Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint.  I used a dry brush technique to give it a weathered look.  If possible, find a young child to make strange faces while you paint the beadboard.This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!

Next, stain or paint the wooden letter. I enjoy doing this in the grossest part of the house. This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!
Once the letter has totally dried, stencil some adorable gold polka dots on there. Who doesn’t love gold polka dots?!?  This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!
Next, gather your embellishments of choice. I tied a faux flower and berries together with some raffia, which I also wrapped around the letter. Then I attached the top part of the embellishments to the letter with a piece of velcro. Once they were on there, I attached a piece of velcro to the back of the letter and popped it right onto the sign. This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!
Easy as that! This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!
I already know how I’m going to change this out for late fall, and I can’t wait to show you that, too! This monogram fall door decor is a quick project! Use velcro to attach the letter and embellishments for a quick change with the seasons or holidays!
Since I’ve already put out a fall decoration, I guess it’s OK for me to eat candy corn now, too. Yay!

    I get you, I’ve totally be fighting the urge to do fall stuff – posts, or crafts! I think I’m losing that battle. Luckily, I just so happen to have a few children around to make goofy faces for me. . .

      Hahaha – those kids get me every time! 🙂 I think it’s OK to give in to fall now. Tomorrow is September. I’m giving you permission. 😉

    This is really cute, Bre! I love the beadboard plaque. I didn’t know they made those. A couple weeks ago I was refusing to even think about fall decor, but now that the kids are in school and we’ve had a few days that were a bit cooler, I think I’m ready :).

      Yes, I found them in the unfinished wood products section! They had a few shapes and sizes – very cute! Thanks for your sweet note. 🙂
