🍂 “hello FALL” round insert

To bring your sign to life, gather the following:

• Paint — acrylics work best

• Brushes or small makeup sponges for smooth coverage

• Paint markers — great for crisp lettering and fine details

• Glue to attach wood layers — I recommend a gel type super glue you can get from the Dollar Store, or try E6000, Stick Fast, or Gorilla Glue

• Optional embellishments — ribbons, buttons, glitter, or anything your heart desires

• Optional finishing touch — add a clear coat spray for durability or try antique wax for a rustic aesthetic

🖌️ Painting Tips

• Base coat first: Paint the background circle and sunflower petals before layering text or accents.

• Dot details: Use paint pens, a stylus, toothpick, or Q-tip for clean polka dots and dashed lines.

• Group-friendly: Pre-label paint cups or use color swatches to simplify paint choices. 

• Optional sealant: Finish with a clear matte spray for durability if displaying outdoors.
