Last week I shared with you my new Rustic Fall Signs. Today I’ll share how to make the Simple Rustic Wood Frames! As I mentioned before, I’m loving the phrase “Hello Fall” and wanted to find a piece of art for my mantle so I made it.

To get started on the Simple Rustic wood frames you’ll need the following:
Supplies Needed:
Wood, 1/2″ thick x 1 1/2″ wide
Saw
Nail gun & Compressor
Wood Stain
Sanding block
Art (you can download my art here)
Stapler
To get started cut the wood to size. I made my frames 8 1/2″x 9 7/8″ (hello fall) and 14″x8 3/4″ (thankful). To copy these dimensions you’ll need to cut 2 pieces at 7 1/2″ and 2 at 9 7/8″ for the hello fall sign. Then 2 pieces at 14″ and 2 at 7 3/4″ for the thankful sign.
Next, lightly sand the edges then start assembling together with a nail gun. I only used 2 nails at each end.
Next, add the stain. I used Minwax Weathered Oak mixed with a couple drops of Dark Walnut.
Now you’ll need some art prints. I created my own and you can download here. Otherwise print out your prints and cut to size.
To attach to the frame I just used your everyday stapler and stapled it in a couple places.
Turn your frame over and that’s it!

Thank you for the fall signs they are just the right colour and script for my daughter. I am putting these together for her as a surprise. Just one thing though, did I miss something? the size that you give for the 14″ for the thankful sign seems off ? I printed mine out and it fits on regular printer letter size paper. Sorry if I missed out on how to print or something. ?
Thank you.
Where do you find wood at that dimension? I’ve looked around and didn’t find any.
At Lowes.
What kind of paper did you use? I would think it has to be thick or specialty paper so it doesn’t billow or tear.
ThankS!
