Farmhouse Fall Wood Sign: Autumn Market
You all know I love wood signs, and I can’t resist making them for the holidays. What’s more perfect than a farmhouse fall wood sign? Â I had a list of signs I wanted to make, but I started with his one. It’s an Autumn Market fall sign that’s perfect for so many places in my home!

FARMHOUSE FALL WOOD SIGN: AUTUMN MARKET
It’s an easy sign to make, and I’ve got the entire tutorial on how to make it in this post about my Farmhouse sign. I made it the same way, with a couple of differences.
Directions:
*I used MDF (3/4 in.–because it’s not hanging up) instead of a wood board, so I could be very specific with the sizing. I ripped it down to the size I wanted. You can do that, but you can also use a 1×6 or 1×8, and then cut it down the to the length you need. With the Silhouette cut file, you can resize it as needed.
*When I framed it, I put the furring strips flush with top of the sign, rather than the bottom, like I did with the Farmhouse sign. Â I like doing that with smaller signs, so it’s smooth all the way across.
*I sanded the top of the letters a little more than I did with the Farmhouse sign. When I was sanding, some of the black paint that had been sanded off (and on the sandpaper) came off on my letters. Â It actually lent itself to exactly what I was looking for! Â If you want it less weathered, that’s okay–just sand it less.
I’m also a big believer in using spray paint for stenciling–it reduces bleeding quite a bit in my experience. Â Spray a paper plate (not foam) with paint, the use a foam brush to dab the paint on to my stencil on the board. Â Repeat as necessary. Â Spray paint also dries a lot faster, which is a huge bonus! Â I’ve also used latex paint, craft paint, and chalk paint–all with their advantages and disadvantages.
I’m also sharing the Silhouette cut file. If you have a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait, you can save this file to your computer, then open it up in your Silhouette software. Â You can change the size there if you wish to, before cutting.
Cricut users, I did my best to save my Silhouette file as a SVG file, so you can use it too. It looks a little different on a couple of the letters, like the A, but I’ll share it in case it works for you.
