🍁 Project 1: Autumn Flower Transfer Block

1. Prep your raw wood chunk by making sure it’s clean, dry, and pre-sanded.

2. Select your favorite floral design from the Autumn Flower Rub‑on Transfer Set. Trim closely around the design.

3. Position it where you want on the block and burnish using the Essential Rub-On Transfer Tool until the design releases.

🎃 Project 2: Pumpkin Word Pattern Block

1. Center the Pumpkin word stencil from the Sweet October Pumpkins Mini Stencil pack onto your block and tape it securely.

2. Using a stencil brush and metallic antique copper paint, lightly swirl over the stencil for an even coat.

3. For extra charm, add a pumpkin design from the Fall Forest Gnome Rub‑on Transfer Set to the lower portion of the block. Burnish in place with the transfer tool.

🍎 Project 3: Homemade Apple Butter Block

1. Tape the Homemade Apple Butter stencil from the Fall Farmhouse Apples Mini Stencil pack onto the bottom center of your wood block.

2. Stencil the design in a rich red paint.

3. Cut the leaf garland from the Fall Forest Gnome Rub‑on Transfer Set and burnish it onto the upper part of the block for balance.
