Fall decor

This past week, I visited a friend of mine and she gave me some nice decor items.  One of the items was this cool white box frame.  I knew that I wanted to create something with it.  Today, I was hit with some inspiration!  I had printed out this awesome Jasmine Nora Jones free fall printable from Studio Calico a few weeks ago.  I trimmed it down to fit into the box and then glued it down.

This week, I had found these amazing paper flowers at Michaels.  They were regularly priced $4.99 each, but were 90% off and I bought them for $0.49 each!  I had a hard time not buying them all! LOL!  They are so pretty and I could see many fall projects ahead!   I looked at the printable and decided which flowers I was going to use.

I used a hot glue gun and glued them down. I originally was going to put flowers all the way around the frame, but when I started gluing them down, I liked how they looked with only the flowers in the corners!  I also used some fall leaves on it. 

So pretty! 

I LOVE how it turned out!  It is already on display in my hutch!

Fall garland

Michaels has been having some awesome clearance this week for Halloween and fall products!  I bought this ribbon, regularly $9.99, for $1 each and the blue twine, regularly $2.99, for $0.89!  I knew that I wanted to make a fall project with it, but wasn't sure exactly what. I had pinned a burlap banner on Pinterest last week and decided to do a version of that.  I measured off three, seven inch pieces of both the orange and striped ribbons.  I measured one inch from the top and folded that over.

With a regular black Sharpie marker, I wrote out one of the letters on each of the pieces.

 

I cut off a piece of twine long enough to hang it, and then started hot gluing the top inch down, around the twine. 

I had some simple fall leaves that I cut off the plastic pieces and glued on the first and last letter.

The finished product! 

I am so happy how it came out! I made this garland for under $3 and it turned out really cute!!!

I have already hung it up! I can't wait to put up the rest of my Thanksgiving decorations!
