Autumn Market Truck Sign
Materials Needed:
- Vintage Autumn Trucks Rub-on Transfer Set
- Essential Rub-On Transfer Tool
- Stencil Brush Set
- 12x16" framed wooden board (from Michaels or Hobby Lobby)
- Brown acrylic paint
Step 1: Prepare Your Surface
Start with a clean 12x16" framed board. Make sure it’s smooth and free of dust to help the transfer adhere well.
Step 2: Add the Transfer
Cut out the truck design from the transfer sheet. Place it in the center of your board and use the transfer tool to burnish it firmly.
Step 3: Ground the Design
Using a stencil brush and brown paint, lightly dry brush underneath the truck to “ground” it and make the design look natural.
Final Reveal
Helpful Tips:
- Burnished transfers release best when you go slowly and evenly.
- Grounding with a little paint makes designs look more realistic.
- If the transfer lifts in small spots, lay it back down and rub again.
Farmstead Turkey Turntable

Final Reveal
Helpful Tips:
