The stores are full of cotton boll stems this fall, but none in pink! |
So, I decided to try my hand at making some pink cotton bolls to use in my fall decorating |
I created three different vignettes with my pink cotton bolls.......this is the first one. |
The first vignette has a big metal rooster hanging on the Hossier cabinet. |
While I was playing with cotton balls to make my cotton bolls, I tried my hand at making some cotton bales. Cotton balls, bolls, bales......lol! |
While I was working on my pink cotton boll post, H was in the garage working on another project. |
The pink cotton bolls were a fun and easy project. |
Egg carton........................sections cut apart....................sections painted Apple Barrel Cameo Pink |
The metal cake plate holding my cotton boll plant is filled with acorns from out front yard. |
There are tons of acorns under the oak tree in the front yard...... |
H was sweet enough to gather a big coffee can full of acorns for me to use in my fall decor......thank you honey! |
\ So, which vignette do you like the best? .......and where will I put it? |
It's still a little early to start decorating for fall, but I like to have things ready to put out after Labor day. |
Me gusta la idea de las flores de algodón sencillas y bonitas. La viñeta que más me gusta es la tercera, con los nidos para pájaros. Un saludo.
ReplyDeleteVery creative. I love acorns.
ReplyDeleteHow darling to make pink cotton bolls. I love how you created the vignettes. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo I am curious if you grew up in a home where you were always crafting or if this was developed later in life.
ReplyDeleteLove these.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I make my own cotton bales as well but not in pink. Pinning.
ReplyDeleteI love your cotton bolls! I was in K-Mart today and noticed king-sized puffs. I had seen a post using pine cone pieces around the cotton. Always having lived in New England, I have never seen a REAL cotton plant. Love the pink but brown'd work, too! I like the roosters vignette best. I like the rusticity (is that a word?) of the birdhouses but would use them with traditional fall colors. Love the acorns!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny!
ReplyDeleteI think I like #1 best but that's because I like your hanging rooster! Lol! This is a really cute craft and as usual I'm happy to share it to my Crafts to Make board on Pinterest with my readers. <3 Love all your ideas!!! Please tell Mr. H he is a keeper for doing things for you. My hubby helps me out when he's home, too.
Have a lovely weekend,
Barb :)
