Wreaths and flower arrangements for outside

Yep, the title says it all, I have made a new wreath with the same things I used to make the garland and then I got some of the foam pumpkins, the smallest was from Michael's with a coupon of course, and the other two were from Walmart and still cost less than the one I got with the coupon!!  Oh well, they all worked out...  and Believe it or not all of the flowers came from the dollar store!!!

Here is the wreath, I  added some grapevine pumpkins to it to give it a little interest!  I will have a final post to show you where I put everything and how it looks all decorated in a few days! 

this is the wreath when I first thought I was finished with it!

this is the finished wreath that hangs on my door now!  

Now on to the flower arrangement in pumpkins!  I have 3 different sizes of them, you will see all three when I have the final showing!

Fall Bannister Garland

Hey guys, so this is a first, not that I have stairs in a house but that I have this open space that just screams for decorations!!!  These stairs lead down to the finished basement that houses my craft area...  I don't say room because I have grown out of one room, ok well maybe not outgrown it but I have spread out into multiple rooms because honestly they aren't being used at the moment...  When we have guests I will clean them up and let the guests have them but right now they are all mine!   Except of course my daughter room... Her room is set up for when she and the son-in-love come to visit!!! 

So I thought this space needed some garland and I had some mesh and some ribbon and found this work garland at Hobby Lobby.  So you cut the garland into semi squares, I say semi squares cause I didn't measure anything...  I just eyeballed everything! 

So I love being able to leave the ties from a work garland or wreath exposed, I think it adds to the finished project, and it's one less step I have to do!!  Sometimes I don't have the right color to be able to do that, and most of the time, I am using left over pipe cleaners that aren't the right color at all, but this time I did and I love it!!!
