Information

      This is a fall-inspired round door sign or wall art featuring the text "Hey there Gourd-eous" and pumpkins. The file can be expanded or shrunk depending on the size round you are using.
    

Instruction

1

Step1: Paint the round (sign)

You can purchase the round sign from a craft store like I did or cut your own. Once you have the round sign cut, paint it. I stained mine with a brown stain. 

2

Step2: Set file to appropriate round size

When using the provided file, make sure the circle (round) is the same size as your round. If you need to adjust, select all the artwork and scale accordingly.

Step3: Remove the circle from the artwork

You have already cut the sign, so delete the circle from the art board. It was just used for sizing the elements.

Step4: Cut elements

Process the text and decorative elements. The above settings are for 3mm MDF. If using plywood, you will need to adjust the settings.

Step5: Paint elements

Paint the elements your desired colors. Because I used white MDF board, I did not need to paint the white letters or ornaments. I found spray paint works the best with MDF. Before painting, clean the letters off with water or a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I have found the white coating burns.

Step6: Glue elements

Using a wood glue (I used the blue titebond), glue the elements onto the round sign. (However, glue them straight, I did not)

Step7: Optional: Add a string to the back

Using staples or glue, you can add rope around the sign to hang it. Alternatively, you could add a hole to the top of the round sign or hang this with 3M adhesive.
