Fall Craft Time!

What is it about fall and spring that gets me in a crafty mood?  Fall (when the weather is actually cool here in Florida) is one of my favorite times of year!  I love getting out the fall decorations adding the warm colors to my home decor.

Fall is not complete with out a pumpkin or two sitting around!  These burlap door hangers seem to be really popular this fall (according to the pins on Pinterest).  It was super easy to make...so easy, that I made quite a few!  As you can tell, this one is not hanging on my door at the moment because we have to also show our team spirit this fall, too!

On our door for the moment is our Red and Black wreath to show our allegiance to the GA Bulldogs, which is a must when you are in Florida and surrounded by much less fashionable colors as orange and blue!

Other projects, which weren't necessarily fallish, but recently completed so they can be included in this post, are our dinner table subway art and our new bulletin board collage wall.  Pardon the bland walls in these pictures.  We are temporarily in a rental home, so we are pretty much stuck with the wall color.

I pinned several different pictures of subway art project similar to this and then used the different sayings from different ones that I liked to make ours.  It's a topic of regular discussion at our dinner table and I love that I can point out a specific written rule in our home instead of coming up with rules on the fly. 

This picture just doesn't do justice for our new bulletin board collage wall, not to mention the lack in photography skills of mine!  I took three old framed prints that we were NEVER going to hang in our home, cut the backs out and then spray painted the frames black.  I then took the old backings and cut a sheet of cork to fit.  From there I wrapped the cork and backing in burlap and slid it into the backs of the frames.

I would be completely embarrassed if anyone ever saw the backs of each board and the not so pretty duck tape holding the backs in the frames!  There is also a blank piece of wood on the wall collage as well.  Since it doesn't really stand out against our bland walls, I plan to paint it black and then add some vinyl lettering to it.  I'm still trying to decide what I want to put on the board, too.  This is where I'm severely lacking in creativity.  I hope I'm not staring at a blank piece of wood for months and months while waiting on the perfect something to come to my brain!


The girls have already picked which boards they each want to display their school work and their masterpieces!  I'll post more pics when this project is completed!
