Unique Autumn Sign
Don’t you sometimes want to let go and do weird? I did with this unique autumn sign, yesterday.
This project is soooo easy…
you don’t even have to clean your paintbrush!
And I don’t like cleaning my paintbrush…as you can see! :/
But I do like easy
and unique!!!!
So make a pile of “dead” dried-out paintbrushes. You know the ones when you were soooo excited about your DIY project, you didn’t even think about the paintbrush until 3 days later. Yep, I do that too! 🙂
Pick out 6 paintbrushes that are about the same size. It doesn’t matter what the color is of the dried-on paint.
Because…
You’re just going to add on MORE paint!
Spell out A~U~T~U~M~N on the dried brush bristles.
Tip: On my first try I used only the barn red color but on the first “U” and the “M” the red didn’t show well. So, I repainted using more autumn colors. Use dark paint on light-dried paint and dark on light-dried paint.
I used small nails and hung my unique autumn sign directly on my old door.
A piece of twine threaded through the paintbrush holes and it would be a cool banner. Plus the “sign” could say anything. Fun for a paint party or children’s party.
I like two-minute projects!

jeanette i would love to be inside your head just for a day my brain couldn’t download any more than a days worth of ideas ha ha i want to run to the store and get some cheap paint brushes and do this now it is cool cool cool xx
Chris, so funny! Inside my head even for a day would be frightening. My problem is getting it to turn off. By the way, I love dollar type stores paintbrushes. I do have a few good brushes I’ve had for years, but for most of the painting I do a dollar brush works just fine. ~Jeanette
