A FALL FARMHOUSE STYLE WREATH MADE FROM scraps & lids What?!

Hi and welcome ! nice of you to stop by. I know everyone would love to have something nice and not pay a high price so today I want to share a wreath that I have crafted using.....

 Yes .....just some plastic tops that I have been saving , also a duvet cover that has seen its day , a scrap piece of wood some stencils and a wire base all of which I have on hand.

 After ripping the pieces of material I  gave all the lids a lick of dark paint ya see these will be the pumpkins yep pumpkins

 And there you have it not much to it … one the paint was dry I added some shading with a bit of white and orange, don't worry if you cant paint pumpkins well there are several examples on the internet for you to see.

 Not to bad for free with a bit of imagination

This wreath will be hung on the front gate so it will have to weather the storms!  Will you be giving this a try? So the checklist for this project is scrap material and wood scrap , some lids, a base, paint hotglue , and what ever else you like.

Thanks so much for stopping on in today

An old plain closet door, an old tool box make a pretty barn door

Hi there, so happy you could stop in today!  I want to share with you today a door that was layed to rest brought back to life with a lick of paint! I am so loving the vintage doors I see about online. But here I never run across any old vintage doors so I painted this one up and dressed him for Fall.

 The first step was to give the door a brown coat of paint.

 Then a vanilla color of paint taking care not to get ahead of myself I did about 2 ft at a time, and I took a yard stick and drew lines using the opposite end of a paintbrush so what you see is the brown paint on each line.

Which makes it look like this.

 I also dry brushed a trim and made also painted the barn look crossed pieces of trim

 I had an old small toolbox I added to the front and filled it with these small primitive little pumpkins  that I crafted from some old tin cans.

I just brushed them with a very light orange and added some darkness

I let some rust come through....these poor cans have been out in the rain for days

I crafted a Fall wreath

 I had a metal hanging piece that I used for the wreath

 

 

And to finish it off I crafted a sign to complete it!  It sits againt the glass doors in my dining room and has quickly became a favorite.  Be sure to save your old doors even if they are totally ugly and also you tin cans , they are becoming a favorite to craft with! 

Hope I have inspired you to give a lick of paint to a poor old door sitting in your garage!

 

Thanks so much for stopping in

RAG AND RAFFIA FALL WREATH

Fall is upon us and what could be better than a Festive front door wreath? I have put together this wreath with scraps of material and Raffia. Then faux leaves and flowers are the finishing touch.

Just a 12 inch ring, about 1/4 yard of material some raffia and faux leaves and flowers was all I used for this Autumn pop of color. I just tied the raffia on about 1/4 of the ring and torn pieces of material around the other 3/4.
This wreath can be purchased on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Thanks so much for visiting today!
