I have lots to share with you guys today, so be prepared for a longer than usual post! |
The fall mantel that I created this year has green touches on it....a color I don't normally use very much of in my fall decorating. |
I like for things to balance......lol....so I have pretty much the same thing on each side of my Pumpkin Patch sign. |
On the left side I have a couple of pumpkins.....one of them carries on more of the green color.....more ferns....and a really pretty sunflower print that I got free! |
I'll share where I got the free prints at the end of my post......they are gorgeous! |
Now for a look at the other end of the mantel......it's almost the same as the left side except the sunflower print is different. |
The lovely green velvet pumpkins I have on the mantel came from Hobby Lobby. I only found 2 of them after looking at 3 different HL's so I don't know if they are just scarce in my area or everywhere. |
The colors on the prints that Andrea is giving away on her blog are so soft and pretty.....just the way I love to decorate for fall. |
The big pink and cream buffalo check pumpkins on each side of the fireplace are new. H made them using some left over plywood from a shelving project he made me in the studio. |
I drew the pumpkins directly on the plywood and H cut them out...... |
Then he sprayed the plywood with 3M adhesive......laid my fabric over it.....smoothed out the fabric and then used a razor blade to cut away the excess fabric. |
I wrapped the stem with some ribbon that I've had forever and don't remember where it came from A good sub would be to cover the stem with burlap. |
H screwed a couple of left over pieces of 2 x 4 on the back of the pumpkin to make it free standing. |
