Simple Give Thanks sign with Mini Pumpkins
How did November get here already? I do love the fall season. However, this year has flown by. I was able to get all my Halloween decorations down over the weekend and worked on putting up a few things to celebrate Thanksgiving. Every year I notice how little decorations I have for Thanksgiving. I always think I will make or purchase more items but, I think the holiday comes so fast and then we are ready to get things going for Christmas. I love it when I can create something that comes together quickly. This Simple Give Thanks sign with Mini Pumpkins is perfect if you love a quick and…

Fall Harvest Two Tiered DIY Tray
Tiered Trays are all the rave right now and there are so many darling one’s out there. Have you noticed the price tag on some of those tiered trays? I have yet to find one that I like under $45.00. Making your own tiered tray is so much cheaper then buying one so here is a simple tutorial to follow on how to make your own. First off you will want to find two separate trays either both round or both square. Make sure one tray is smaller than the other. By using different sizes of trays you can see the items on the lower tray better. If not you…

Festive Fall Leaf Sewn Table Runner
Do you remember our plethora of Table runners that we purchased many years ago? If you do not remember let me spark your memory! Check out these previous posts on our table runners: St. Patrick’s day table runner Summer Table Runner or our fun Patriotic July Runner. Little did we know that these runners would create so many fun projects! Since we have done every season we felt a Fall Leaf table runner would be perfect! The reason this one was so perfect is because the already pre-cut burlap leaves came in a pack for only $1.00 at the dollar store! Each pack includes 5 leaves so it makes sense to buy a…

Fall Harvest Wood Pumpkin
I know this may sound crazy but the dollar store has some awesome and cute deals. We found the leaves and the metal Harvest wording at the dollar store. If you cut your own pumpkin you will want to make the pumpkin with a flat edge along the bottom. This is so the pumpkin can either stand on it’s own or lean against something. I cut the pumpkin out of pine on my scroll saw and made sure the edges looked wavy like a pumpkin. The versatility is endless on which type of wood you want to use. Once the pumpkin is cut you can sand down the edges of…

Fall/Thanksgiving Feather Slat Board Sign
Have you ever had that moment when you pull something out of storage and find that it is in pieces? This happened to me a few weeks ago. I was pulling out my Thanksgiving decorations and as I lifted up my large Gather shutter it came apart in a million pieces!!! I wanted to cry! My Gather shutter was a key decoration for my front porch, and it was broken beyond repair. As I stood there looking at all the shutter slats everywhere, I realized that they could be repurposed and made into something different and, I had a large void to fill on my porch. I decided to create…

DIY Fall Pumpkin Harvest and polka dot painted birch logs
This has to be one of my all time favorite crafts that I have made to date. It is a classy statement piece. Pair the large pumpkin with a smaller birch log pumpkin and these Harvest pumpkins can be displayed from September through November. Perfect for Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving. First gather your round birch bases – Luckily we scored these from an awesome neighbor who had a lot sitting by the side of her house. She was kind enough to part with them! Each log is cut into a 4″ thick slab. The dimensions around the flat surface of the log are approx. 12″ to 14″. So you can…

Festive Fall Signs
There are so many fun Autumn sayings out there! While we were making gifts for our Halloween party last month, we made several fun fall signs to give away as prizes. One thing I love about fall décor and signs is you can leave them up for 2 months! To create the signs I used different sizes of scrap wood that I already had. I painted each board white and then distressed the boards using a sander. I purchased some of the wording templates and used my personal cutting machine to cut the vinyl. After I placed the vinyl on the boards, I had fun embellishing them with different ribbons…
