Rebel of Cornucopias

I have never liked cornucopia decor. BUT. I found a way to join in the Thanksgiving festivities with my own twist of the traditional centerpiece.

So I turned this pile of junk (purchased from the dollar store, except for the cornucopia).

Into my own celebration of Thanksgiving that even I can appreciate.

All it took was some paint, a paper mat, and a TON of patience (the fake produce took a gazillion coats of paint).

Fall Blocks Craft

I have been wanting to add more fall decor to my collection this season.  My buddy Jenny and I got together to make these fall blocks. I totally love how this lil' beaut' turned out.

The quote says "Autumn is a second spring when ever leaf is a flower."

A closer look...

 -The blocks are 10", 12", and 14" in length.

-I used acrylic paints and sanded the edges afterwards.
-The vinyl was cut from my silhouette machine in three different fonts.

Fall Wreath

I decided that my naked door needed some autumn lovin' this year. So I got together with my friend Jenny (who is going to soon by joining me here on Craft Envy), and we made some fun little wreaths.

What you will need:

~ One styrofoam wreath

~12 yards of ribbon

~Pumpkin wooden cut outs (Hobby Lobby)

~various sizes of wood circles (also Hobby Lobby)

~scrapbook paper in autumn colors
~straight pins
~Mod Podge

1. I apologize for not taking pictures of this process along the way. First you will Mod Podge your scrapbook paper to all your wooden shapes and let it dry.

2. Once Mod Podge process is complete, paper can be cut from the wooden pieces.

3. Wrap ribbon around the styrofoam wreath and secure down with straight pins.

4. Hot glue your pieces of wood down to the ribbon wrapped wreath.
