Herbstliches Willkommensschild mit Blätterdruck
Table of Contents

    Bring autumn to your doorstep! For this welcome sign, real leaves become stamps: painted with various chalk paints, they leave their fine textures directly on the wood. This way, you create a very personal autumn motif, leaf by leaf.

    How to achieve the look

    Paint sign

    Divide your wooden board into two sections and mask off the dividing line with painter's tape. Paint the larger area in a dark shade and the narrower area in a light shade. Carefully remove the tape and let it dry thoroughly.

    Tip:Two contrasting colors will later make both the colorful leaves and the lettering stand out beautifully.

    Paint leaves with color

    Collect leaves of various shapes and sizes. To keep them nice and supple for stamping, it is best to place them in water after collecting them. Let them drain briefly on a cloth before painting.

    Apply different chalk paints thinly with a brush to the underside of the leaf– this is where the leaf veins are particularly pronounced. It is fine for the colors to overlap and blend with each other.

    Place leaves on the sign

    Place the painted sheet face down on the sign.

    Press down firmly

    Apply lettering

    Tips & FAQs

    Am schönsten werden die Abdrücke mit Blättern, die eine gut ausgeprägte Blattstruktur haben. Besonders die Unterseite eignet sich zum Drucken, da dort die Blattadern stärker hervortreten. Probiere ruhig verschiedene Formen und Grössen aus

    Feuchte Blätter bleiben geschmeidig und lassen sich besser auf das Holz drücken. Lege sie nach dem Sammeln deshalb in Wasser und lasse sie vor dem Bemalen kurz auf einem Tuch abtropfen.

    Ja. Du kannst deinen Wunschtext von Hand vorzeichnen und anschliessend mit Farbe ausmalen. Eine Schablone macht gleichmässige Buchstaben einfacher, ist für dieses DIY aber kein Muss.
