This is a post from a couple of years ago. I love Thanksgiving and decorating for it. I am making new signs and decorations for this year but wanted to showoff an old favorite that I still love, the Thankful Sign.
As I was cruising through Pinterest I saw this graphic. I can’t find where I found it but I saved the image. I love argyle and thought it would be a great fall sign to decorate with.
I went scavenging through the garage and found the following to help make this happen:
- Some paint sample cards that I got out of the trash at the paint store last year. They were from the previous season and were being thrown away. The clerk could not believe that I wanted them. They have been living in a baggie waiting to be used.
- A wooden placemat that I got at a garage sale for 25 cents.
- Primer
- Green paper
Step One: I cut out diamond shapes. This was the hardest part. I did not have a template and they kept looking wonky. The I remembered that a diamond is really a rhombus. I googled how to make a rhombus and found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoEx5xVu5xQI followed the steps and cut some awesome shapes.
Step Two: I primed and then painted the placemat.
Step Three: I decided I did not like the half painted/half decoupage look so I decoupaged over the painted areas. I added the words and finished with a final coat of Mod Podge.
Step Four: I attached a ribbon so I could hang it on my wreath stand that always ends up having signs hung on it rather than wreaths. I like to make signs not wreaths.

I primed the placemat because I did not think I was going to decoupage the whole placemat.
I did not hand letter the sign. After the new year one of my goals is to learn how to hand letter.

I think the sign looks great! You did a great job with the diamonds, they all look pretty even to me. I love fall it’s my favorite season!
