Happy fall, y'all! I heard we might get a little fallish weather in Central Florida this weekend, and it's all over the news. People are freaking out with excitement, including me. We need this low-to-mid 80s weekend, like, stat.
I'm usually not in the mood for fall stuff until it really cools off in November. But when you live in a warm climate, sometimes you just have to force yourself into fall or it'll pass you by. I suppose fall is a state of mind.
So I made it fall at my place. I picked up some mini styro pumpkins at Joann last weekend, and fancied them up with a bunch of stuff I had on hand. I was determined not to buy any new stuff for the pumpkins. I have a redunkulous amount of scrapbook and craft supplies, so there was no reason for me to spend more moolah.
I displayed the fancy pumpkins on a small glass cake stand. Oh, and I did buy some reindeer moss to tuck underneath to add a little contrast and a natural element. Which, btw.. have you ever used reindeer moss? This was my first time, and I liked it, but it's a little odd. And it has a peculiar smell. Nothing I can't live with though.
Here's a close-up of the pumpkins so you can see what I used to decorate them. Actually, one of the glittered pieces is a gourd. It kinda looks like a shimmery turkey leg, don't you think?
I used Tacky Glue to adhere the ribbon, glitter, and paper flowers. The rhinestone stickers already had adhesive on the back... and that's literally it. Easy as pie.
I used faux pumpkins for this project, but you could replicate these ideas on real pumpkins or gourds too.
What are you doing to fall-ify your place this year?
