Some Fall Goodies and a Tutorial

Two things I've worked on this week:





I am loving this Fall wall art. I couldn't decide if I wanted to add the word 'Harvest', 'Faith', or 'Give Thanks'. So I listed it in my shop with the buyers option.



The other items was this Candy Corn inspired wreath:
My kiddos were asking for something "Halloween-y", and I don't really have much in the way of Halloween decor. So I quickly came up with this this morning.


Want to know how to make one? It's super easy and {at most} will cost you less than $3

Supplies needed:
Dollar Store foam wreath
White crepe paper streamer
Orange crepe paper streamer
Glue

Wrap the wreath form in desired color.


Once that's done, cut several strips of each color crepe paper. About 4-5" long.


I alternated my colors, but you could put them however you like. I started with my top and then did the sides.


I decided to leave the center empty as it was just easier and my guys were begging me to hang it up "right now". I'll probably add more to it/change it completely. But it's super cute and works for them.
Just FYI, I completed this this morning in less than an hour...


Have you started you Halloween decorating yet? 
Is it too soon? 
When do you normally start?

Aqua Nest Pot


A few months ago I made this darling little nest decor...thingy. I have no idea what to call it so I will just refer to it as an Aqua Nest Pot.



While browsing my local thrift store I found a stack of these mini pots (8) for $.60. In that same week A.C. Moore was having a hug sidewalk sale so I grabbed all the nests they had. I think it was something like 18 or 19. I only paid 3.80 for all the nests. They also had a ton of little bags with eggs on clearance as well. I grabbed 20 bags and paid 2.40 for those. For $7 I got a ton of fun goodies!



I decided to make this little pretty to sit on my desk in my craft room. It makes me happy every time I look at it.
