Dollar store revamp

I havent been doing much in the way of crafting lately but a few weeks ago I came across this little sign at the dollar store and loved its acorn shape and burlap top

 But I thought the harvest picture was a little cheesy and not my style. I held on to it for a week then decided that it would make the perfect chalkboard sign! Enter one of the best crafting invention of the past few years - chalkboard paint....

 It took 3 coats to completely cover it but it dries quick so it didn't take long. Then I wanted to add some wear to the chalkboard part so it wasn't to shiny black so I rubbed white chalk on it, wiped it off, rinse repeat......

 Then I free handed the word WELCOME and tada, a cute little welcome sign for a dollar :)

 Other autumn decor I put up.....
