Fall is one of my favorite seasons! Fall is definitely in the air. I also love pumpkin theme fall decor!! I was inspired by the fall pumpkin wall art decor that I saw at Hobby Lobby and Instagram. For this fall craft project, I used 2 Dollar Tree picture frames, a pumpkin cutout from a Dollar Tree fall sign and adhesive plaid vinyl paper. This is an easy fall craft project! I hope you will make your own Fall pumpkin wall art decor. Cheers to Fall! :)

Supplies-Pumpkin cut out from Fall Sign

For my pumpkin theme Fall wall art decor, I used a pumpkin cut out from this cute Dollar Tree Fall sign. You can also use a pumpkin template and trace the pumpkin shape on an orange foam sheet or orange card stock.

1 picture frame w/o backing and glass cover

1). First, remove the cardboard backing, glass covers, and metal tabs from both picture frames. You are going to reserve 1 cardboard backing and 1 glass cover. Set aside the second picture frame.

Glue cardboard backing to picture frame

2). Using the hot glue gun, glue the cardboard backing on the first picture frame. The black part of the cardboard backing will be the back.

The black part of the cardboard backing will be the back. This is how the picture frame looks from the back.

Plaid vinyl paper and glass cover

3). Get the 1 reserved glass cover and the adhesive plaid vinyl paper.

Tracing the outline of the glass cover

4). Roll out the adhesive plaid vinyl paper with the back part facing up. Put the glass cover on top of the adhesive plaid vinyl paper. Using a pen, trace the outline of the glass cover. Cut out the traced plaid vinyl paper with scissors or an x-acto knife.

Apply plaid vinyl paper on glass cover

5). To decrease the appearance of air bubbles, gradually apply the adhesive plaid vinyl paper on the glass cover. Remove the backing slowly and apply by sections on the glass cover.

6). The next step is to place hot glue on the back of the plaid print glass cover. Then place the plaid print glass cover on top of the picture frame with the cardboard backing.

7). Grab your second picture frame. You will leave this picture frame as is. A glass cover or cardboard backing will not be glued to this second picture frame.

8). On the first picture frame that has the plaid print glass cover, apply e6000 or another heavy duty glue on the borders.

Gluing the 2 picture frames together

9). Glue the second picture frame to the first picture frame. Place a heavy book on top of the glued picture frames. Let dry for at least 1 day.

Pumpkin cut out and Alphabet stickers

Gather the pumpkin cut out and Alphabet stickers.

10). Apply the Alphabet stickers to spell out a fall quote on your pumpkin cut out. I decided to spell out this fall quote, "Hi Fall!"

Glue pumpkin to plaid print glass cover

11). With the hot glue gun, apply glue on the back of the pumpkin, and place in the center of the plaid print glass cover.

Glue artificial Fall leaves

12). This last step is optional but if you want, you can further decorate the top part of the picture frame with artificial fall leaves. I used a hot glue gun to glue 3 artificial fall leaves to the top part of the picture frame (as shown in the picture)

The final Fall Pumpkin Decor!
