Two autumn projects—and lots of techniques to inspire your fall creating!
In this video, I’m creating two very different autumn pieces using DecoDIY Paint, dimensional castings, resin, clay, and some of my favorite finishing techniques.
First, we’ll create old-world architectural panels, using moulded details, layers of paint, blending, and a wonderfully aged, cracked finish. Then we’ll switch gears an build a richly layered pumpkin and pomegranate assemblage, combining a vintage-inspired background with dimensional elements and beautiful autumn color.

![The Most UNEXPECTED IOD Swan Projects you NEED to try
Today’s video is filled with vintage-inspired creativity and a few unexpected twists along the way. I’m sharing three beautiful DIY projects using IOD transfers, moulds, salvaged pieces, and layered details to create one-of-a-kind decor for summer and beyond.
In this tutorial we’ll create:
✨ An unconventional use for the IOD Swan Mould
✨ A linen-covered book makeover with Silver details
✨ A salvaged summer sign transformation — including a design change from swan to songbird
These projects are all about looking at supplies differently, mixing textures, and turning simple pieces into something collected and artistic. If you love vintage decor, creative DIY, IOD inspiration, and unique home accents, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
Thank you so much for spending part of your day creating with me here at ellen j goods.
