Well hey there. I haven't posted in over a month. Oops. I feel a little shame that I am just now posting on all of my fall decor, but I loved it too much not to share. Better late than never right? Right.
So I posted last month about my new "mantle" that we recently hung with great care.
Here is my fall mantle {that is now getting ready to come down/kind of already has...}
I got pretty creative with things that I found around the house to use.
I found these old jars {EA-ian jelly & mayo} and covered them with scraps of paper. I painted a letter on each one to spell out "fall", and then embellished the rims of each jar. I think the last "L" looks like it has one of those old school doctor mirror headband things on.
I found a couple of cute printables- this fun leaf one from The Crafty Scientist & this fun one from The Project Girl. I found this natural wood looking frame somewhere around here and thought it looked nice and fall-ish with the fall printable. I also had a few fun fall smelling candles that just happened to match.
I've loved all of the Yarn letters out there so I used the cardboard from a milk box & fun teal yarn to make my own.
Ta-Da. I also used 2 embroidery hoops with it.
AND my fall bunting!!!
I got creative here....
First, I made candy corn bunting. I wanted to paint it, but used water color pencils and it just ended up looking like i colored them with crayons. Kinda cute though.
To make the circle bunting, I used watercolor pencils and went to town doodling. Then I painted over it with water & let it dry. I used my circle cutter and made lots of little circles. I glued brown and gold paper to the back of them, with thread in between.
I'm kind of a fan.
I pulled together a few little random things to put on the table under the shelf.
And there you have it. My fall mantle that I enjoyed for a long time.
Now I'll go take it all down & decorate for Christmas.
Now I think I'll try to blog a little more frequently.
Joyfully Falled-Out,
