Fall Pumpkin Flower Arrangement

Last weekend my husband and I had a yard sale with his parents! In preparing for the sale we decided to go through just about everything we could to see what we could get rid of so we could de-clutter our home. Thankfully for me, and just in time too, I came across my fall decorations from previous years that I had completely forgotten about. One item in particular I was happy to find again and use!

I got this ceramic pumpkin as a gift two years ago and it had real flowers in it. I have been saving it since!

Keeping with the flower theme I went to the store to get this green flower arranger along with various flowers.

Then I just started playing around with some different options using the bigger flowers first.

Once I felt like it was finished I found it a new home on  our dining room table.

Then I thought about the leftovers from my last flower project and added a few leaves.

And here is the finished product!

The lace plate is a find from IKEA! Love that store! And the place setting underneath I found at a thrift store for .25c!

Fall Wreath

Newest Craft Project: Fall Wreath!

I really love having a wreath on my door for every season. If you have ever went into a store to buy a wreath you would be surprised at the prices. Even on Etsy they can get to be over 100$ for a wreath! Well I wouldn't want to pay that especially when I can just do it myself! 

First I went to Michael's Craft store to get a wreath. I picked a medium sized one and got it for 50% off with my weekly ad coupon! 

Then I went to the Dollar Store. Sometimes I have to shop around for flowers but currently they were the cheapest. I got 6 stems, four different flowers and two different leaves. 

 The stems can be hard to work with sometimes so I pull the flowers off.

I laid out the flowers on the wreath how I liked them. I started off to one side at first but then I decided to go ahead and put all the flowers at the bottom. I used hot glue to glue them down once I decided I liked how I had them.

I got some ribbon while at the dollar store, too! I formed a double bow and cut the ends. Took me a while to figure out what kind of bow I wanted but I like how it turned out.

 Here is my finished product!

Total cost: 10$
