I found myself in the Dollar Tree looking at their Fall and Halloween decor. They have some cute wooden cut out’s that I want to get creative with. I thought it would be fun to give these wooden cut outs a rustic look.
The supplies that I’ll be using are listed down below.
1. Wooden cut out from the Dollar Tree
2. Hot glue
3. Dollar Tree wall tile
4. Scissors
5. Orange chalk paint by Waverly
6. Black acrylic paint
7. Rust Effect Paste from Amazon
8. Rust Effect Paint from Amazon
9. Paint brush
10. Wax paper
The first step is to trace the raised sections of the cut out onto a piece of wax paper.
Cut the pieces out and then trace them onto the wall tile.
Once you have the pieces traced onto the wall tile you’ll then cut them out.
Once you have the pieces cut out you’ll then glue them onto the wooden cut out.
Once I had the pieces glued in place I then painted the entire cut out with black acrylic paint.
Once the black paint was dry I then added the rust effect paste.
Once the rust effect paste was I then added some of the orange chalk paint.
Do not cover the entire cut out with the orange paint.
The last step is to add some of the rust effect paint over the orange paint.
This was so easy to make and turned out amazing. You can do this to a variety of cut outs that the Dollar Tree has. I hope you’ll get creative and give this a try.
They are both so very cute … I think they are perfect for fall…but I have to say that My favorite is a pumpkin. It’s just so pretty…watering 💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦🎃💦
Barb, they both turned out beautiful! You always know what to do for sure
Love them both !!!
I like the leaf!
They both look great, but I like the gold/bronzie sheen on the leaf!
They both look good especially together. But I’m a pumpkin girl so that’s my fav !! 🎃🍁
Looks great! I watched you live when you did the leaf!! Love these. I’ll be trying this.
Pumpkin turned out amazing. Love how you show other items (leaf) that can be made as well.
I love both but I think the pumpkin is my favorite 🧡
Great ideas Barb!
Love both I watched the replay of the wreath and came to see this blog of the pumpkin . Not sure if this is where you comment on the blog because I am very technology challenged
I meant to say leaf
Both are amazing, but I choose the leaf
Great idea I’m going to try this love the way they turned out ❤️❤️🥰
Barb they turned out fantastic !!! So cute on a porch table with candle little greenery and your adorable squirrel .
I love them both and I watched you do the leaf on your live post but I have to go with the pumpkin. I think they look amazing together. Thanks for sharing this great idea Barb. Love the Shabby tree!
I love both and will be headed to my dollar tree tomorrow, To buy the cutouts. Love, love, love.
I really love this craft. You are so creative. I’d love to give this one a try. Thanks barb
I like how the pumpkin turned out but I love leaves so I think I will try it in another color, maybe different greens. Love love your creativity!
I’m lovin the pumpkin❣️
I do love them both, but would have to say the pumpkin.
Both, hard to choose!
Beautiful! Love them both.
They are both very nice, but I love ❤️ the pumpkin 🎃!! I will have to visit my Dollar Tree and give this a try.
So very hard to decide which one I like best but if I absolutely have to choose one I guess I’d go with the pumpkin but I do truly love them both!
I love both but am partial to the pumpkin.
Very pretty!
Love this makeup over. I’ve never seen or heard of rust paste but it looks good on your project! I would love to do this even without the rust paste! Good job Barb!
Love how this turned out!
So, so pretty! Love both!

PS: I have really needed lately. I fell out of bed 2 weeks ago and broke my ribs lots of pain. Of course it’s the same side as I did the same stupid thing 3 months ago. They didn’t hurt like this. So tuning into you and your sister Lisa distracts me and makes me happy. Love ya!
