Every year around this time, I like to bust out my pumpkins and set the tone for Fall. Decorating for Fall does not have to feel like an overwhelming task. If you think about it, you have three months to enjoy Fall decor in your house. That’s 25% of the year! Enter girl math… That’s how I justified all my pumpkins. But in all seriousness, decorating for Fall is easier than you think. In September, I pull out all of my fall deco- pumpkins, little squirrel figurines, anything that gives off that autumn vibe. Under some of my current home decor, I’ll add a linen or burlap table swag to transition the look. I’ll also add cozy throw blankets to chairs or the sofa. Once I get everything set up around my house, the season of Fall is instantly alive! All of my pumpkins and Fall decor act as a canvas for what’s to come. As Halloween approaches, I’ll add a little bit of spooky whimsy here and there. But my pumpkin canvas always remains and that’s what effortlessly ties it all together.
With fall just around the corner, I want to share a craft with you guys that you might remember from last year. This floral pumpkin craft is the perfect addition to your fall decor and can be displayed through Halloween and Thanksgiving. Not only was this so fun (and fairly easy) to make, but it looks stunning as a center piece for your table or even displayed on your front porch. Step by step instructions below & I’ll also link original video.
What you’ll need:
A pumpkin (I picked a real one from a local farm, but you could use a plastic one if you wanted to)
Mod podge
Hot glue gun
Glitter
Dried flowers (again you could use fake ones if you wanted)
A fake crow (not necessary but adds that little extra touch of whimsical detail)
Step 1:
Find your perfect crafting pumpkin
Step 2:
Gather supplies
I like using different types of glitter for a more textured and layered look
Step 3:
Apply mod podge, then glitter
Crafters tip: let dry for a little while & then mod podge over glitter to set into place (this prevents glitter from transferring onto everything in sight)
Step 4:
Add your flowers with a hot glue gun
Get creative here! Anything goes and layering them gives more dimension
Step 5:
Add whatever else you feel your pumpkin needs! I added a fake crow and absolutely love how it turned out. He really added just the right amount of extra I was going for!
Don’t be afraid to make a mess and have fun with this!
This dry erase board is perfect for practicing math or spelling without the mess of pencil shavings everywhere.
2. These little doodly-doos are great for teaching kids emotions and expressing them. They’re fun to play with and also educational.
3. Straw dispenser as a pencil holder! Some of you might remember the video I made a couple years ago on this. Such a fun and easy way to store pencils at home or in the classroom. Parent tip: makes for a great teacher gift! Don’t be afraid to customize!
4. These organizers that I picked up from The Container Store are amazing! I grabbed a couple and stacked them together. Aesthetically pleasing and love how organized my desk is now.
5. I don’t know about you, but I love being able to write down my schedule & kid’s events they have coming up. This yearly planner is perfect for organizing and keeping track of all the events that come your way.
6. Last but certainly not least, this tackle box turned sticker organizer is a game changer for all my sticker fans out there! Again, makes for a great teacher gift & customizing will make it feel that much more special.
