I guess it's Fall

I love this time of year, especially the fall decorations.  I tried a new idea for a pumpkin today and thought they were really cute and unique so here they are for all of you (probably two viewers) to see.   All you need is a quarter yard of fall fabric, a toilet paper role, a 6"stick and some fall foliage.

There is no hard part,  simply set the roll in the middle of the fabric and start bringing it up over the sides and into the tube hole.   When it is all tucked in put your stem and flowers in the hole also.  Cute huh?

Autumn Wreath

Okay,  so the weather is awful.  We had maybe two weeks of decent Summer weather, three days of fall and now it is winter so I am in my "let's do a fall project" mood.   Here is the wreath I am working on. SOOO simple... and you can use whatever colors youd like to match the different holidays!

     If you want to make one you will need a straw wreath (Ikept the plastic on)  about 1/2 yard of burlap and 1/4  yard of 2 or 3 colors that you like.   I used straight pins, greening pins and hot glue to attach everything.   I also used an accent color of ribbon for the flower centers.

To begin, cut about 3 inches of burlap to wrap around the wreath.

 Cut burlap and fabric circle of differnt sizes to make the flowers.  Poke the greening pins through as many circle as you like and stike into the wreath

.  Tie the ribbon into knots, cut, and then glue into the center of the flowers.  You could also use beads, buttons or chording for the centers.

     

     I attached a ribbon at the top of the wreath so it will hang easily.   I am anxious to try this same idea in christmas fabrics.  I hope you like yours!
