There is something about the crisp fall weather that inspires me to focus on warming up the house with seasonal touches. Normally I put out store-bought decorations, but this year a challenge at the Paper Posies site inspired me to make these items with their October 2009 kit.
The pumpkin garland is an idea from Lisa Dickinson and I thought it was too cute not to make! The patterned paper is adhered to pumpkin-shaped chipboard, then embellished and strung onto burlap cord.
And this paper wreath is now decorating our kitchen. For this project I free-hand cut about 50 leaf shapes from patterned paper, rolled them a bit, and attached them to a styrofoam wreath with Zots. A glue gun would probably offer better adherence if you have one. Lastly, I just added some flowers and a burlap cord to hang from the top.
Love having reminders of fall in my home!
