Wood Block Pumpkins
Wood Block Pumpkins Pin Me! – Pinterest The other day while at Lowes I picked up an untreated 4x4x6. I can’t remember the cost, I think around $10. But, for $10 this one piece of lumber is going to make me a couple cute crafts. These wood block pumpkins were my main reason for buying the 4×4. I got my hubby to cut them down to size and I did the rest, of course. These were so easy to make, let me show you how you can make them, too! Materials: 4×4 orange paint antiquing paint if you want a more rustic look Paint brush Sanding block (Only needed if…
Bath Luffa Pumpkin
Bath Luffa Pumpkin Pin Me! – Pinterest Fall is quickly approaching and I’ve been working on some DIY’s to add to my decor. I always struggle with my bathroom. My bathroom is small… very small.

Materials: Bath Luffa ( I wanted some tan and white ones also but couldn’t find any) stain or coffee if you like the grungy look (If you chose the stain method you’ll need a foam brush)…
Flannel & Pine Cone Garland
Flannel & Pine Cone Garland Most of the supplies needed for this Flannel & Pinecone Garland can be found right at your fingertips! We went to the local park to gather all the pinecones along with a few other supplies for another craft. Since my husband didn’t have any old flannels that I liked I headed to the Goodwill and picked some up. I bought the sunflowers at the dollar tree and while I was there I found that they also sell raffia and twine. I would use the raffia, but I would advise against the twine, as I don’t think it will be long enough or strong enough. You can head to…

Cement Candy Corn Yard Ornaments
Cement Candy Corn Yard Ornaments These Cement candy corns are fun to make and will be a great addition to your fall decor. Because they are made out of cement they are durable enough to use both inside and outside. I have made 4 of these and plan on using mine randomly outside in amongst my flowers. Materials needed: Cement ( I like to use a fast setting underlayment, It’s a little more expensive but I like that it sets within minutes of pouring.) cheap plastic bowl cheap wooden spoon water Traffic cones from the dollar tree cooking spray paper towel sandpaper paint ( white, orange, and yellow) paint brush…
DIY Tomato Stake Fall Tree
DIY Tomato Stake Fall Tree I have been seeing these around everywhere lately and decided to try making one of my own. They are really easy to make and look so stinking cute! I wish I would have made one last year! I want to mention that in the photo above I made a mistake, I should have wrapped the lights on and THEN the Burlap ribbon. You can see how it looks a little funny with the lights going around the burlap.. Oops! Also, it will probably look a lot cuter once those mums beside it bloom 😉 What you will need: Tomato Stake 7-8 Packs of leaf garland…
DIY Burlap Napkin rings
DIY Burlap Napkin Rings The other day I was pondering about all the strange things I know being a DIY/food blogger and one of those strange things is the fact that I know a toilet paper roll is 4 inches long. I mean that’s not normal, is it? I’ve been kind of obsessed with empty toilet paper rolls lately. There’s so many cool DIY projects you can do with them as you will be seeing over the next couple months (that was your warning). But I am in love with these burlap napkin rings that I made. These are very inexpensive to make and fairly easy! I think they would…
DIY * Dollar Tree White Pumpkins

If you use that, you will only need (I’m guessing) 1/2 a yard for 3-4 pumpkins. And you can skip the coffee dye step.) cheap coffee for dying (dollar tree sales it!) Dollar Tree bouquet of fall flowers ( you need 2 flowers per pumpkin) Dollar Tree foam pumpkin ( as many as you want to make) scissors burlap ribbon ( I bought mine at walmart, but saw some at the dollar tree the next…

What you need: cupcake papers ( 1 cupcake paper makes 1 candy corn magnet) Button magnets (found in the craft department at Walmart) 3 paint brushes (one for each color of paint) Orange, Yellow, & White paint ( I used the acrylic, plaid brand, paint at Walmart. It’s about $1 a bottle) Glitter ( I used white) Glue ( I used a hot glue gun because it dries fast, but school glue would work fine, too) How to make them: 1.) First you need to fold your cupcake papers in half, then in half again, then again. With each fold place a small dab of glue to keep them from…
