Fall display shelf

I'm slowly in the process of getting our home ready for fall! I finally swapped out our back to school display for something more fall like. This shelf hangs in our entry hallway so everyone who visits our home walks by it.
 


 
 
 
 
I found the free printable here. I just loved the color and of course the chevron pattern! I got the white vase on clearance at Target a few weeks ago. The wheat came from Hobby Lobby and I picked up the ceramic pumpkins at the Dollar Tree.
 
This weekend I want to work on decorating our front porch and I'll be back to share that next week.
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

Dictionary page banner

It's finally beginning to feel like fall here in Ohio. The weather is getting a bit cooler and the foliage has begun changing color. I love the fall and all the beautiful colors that it brings.
 
Last week I attempted to bring a bit of fall to our home with a small mantel makeover and a diy banner made with pages from an old dictionary.
 

 
To make the banner I used some pages from an old dictionary. I gently ripped out some pages that had fallish {if that's a word} words on them like thanksgiving, leaves, etc.
 
I folded the pages into fourths and then tore them along the fold lines. I liked the look of the rough edges. I used scissors to make the banner shape.
 
I used foam stamps and paint to stamp on my letters.
 
I used my hot glue gun to attach the papers onto a piece of twine.
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by today!
