3-D Framed Wood Pumpkin
Check out how I made this 3-D Framed Wood Pumpkin. I love to turn other people’s trash into treasures! Sometimes other people don’t see the value in items like I do. Going to yard sale’s and find things for fairly cheap to make new again is one of my favorite past times. Finding this cute turquoise chicken wireframe at a yard sale for .25 got me really excited and knew I couldn’t pass it up. At the time of the purchase I had no idea what I would use it for. A few months later I purchased a 3-D wooden pumpkin for $1.00. The size of the pumpkin fit perfectly…

Fall Harvest Two Tiered DIY Tray
Tiered Trays are all the rave right now and there are so many darling one’s out there. Have you noticed the price tag on some of those tiered trays? I have yet to find one that I like under $45.00. Making your own tiered tray is so much cheaper then buying one so here is a simple tutorial to follow on how to make your own. First off you will want to find two separate trays either both round or both square. Make sure one tray is smaller than the other. By using different sizes of trays you can see the items on the lower tray better. If not you…

Fall Harvest Wood Pumpkin
I know this may sound crazy but the dollar store has some awesome and cute deals. We found the leaves and the metal Harvest wording at the dollar store. If you cut your own pumpkin you will want to make the pumpkin with a flat edge along the bottom. This is so the pumpkin can either stand on it’s own or lean against something. I cut the pumpkin out of pine on my scroll saw and made sure the edges looked wavy like a pumpkin. The versatility is endless on which type of wood you want to use. Once the pumpkin is cut you can sand down the edges of…

DIY Fall Pumpkin Harvest and polka dot painted birch logs
This has to be one of my all time favorite crafts that I have made to date. It is a classy statement piece. Pair the large pumpkin with a smaller birch log pumpkin and these Harvest pumpkins can be displayed from September through November. Perfect for Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving. First gather your round birch bases – Luckily we scored these from an awesome neighbor who had a lot sitting by the side of her house. She was kind enough to part with them! Each log is cut into a 4″ thick slab. The dimensions around the flat surface of the log are approx. 12″ to 14″. So you can…

Polka Dot Mini Pumpkins make over DIY
During one of our many garage sale adventures we found these Mini Pumpkins. They were painted but pretty basic and just a little out dated. We were able to purchase all of the pumpkins that they had for only $1.00. These Mini Pumpkins were going to come home with us to get a little face lift! First off I sanded a few of them down to a rustic and faded orange. I made sure to get rid of the dark orange lines on the pumkins. Once they were sanded I then added glittered polka dots to the existing orange paint. The easiest way to glitter them is by putting dots of…

Annual Halloween Party and the unknown Witch who crashed it – 2015
It is that time of year again when we adorn our bodies in all sorts of fun costumes, make up, accessories and masks for our annual Halloween party! Although this year had a twist. To kick of this year here are Mine and Krystal’s costumes! We went as Jack (Sandyclaws) and Sally from Nightmare before Christmas! This year’s annual ladies only Halloween party was yet another success! Although, I do have to say there was a HUGE twist in this year’s party that had everyone intrigued, nervous, and skeptical. Let me say first off I had NO part in this twist in the party so it made it even more…

Simple Square Wood Handmade Fall Pumpkins
Square pressure treated wood pumpkins These pumpkins are made from left over pressure treated posts that I used for my grapevine Trellis. My husband cut 3 different pumpkins down to 3 different sizes. The pressure treated posts are already square so it is easy to cut a 3″, 6″ and a 8″ tall pumpkin. The first set in the first photo did not get any paint. Fun patterns of scrapbook paper came in handy to cut to size and mod podge on to the front, sides and back of the pumpkins. Add a dowel and some ribbon! Attempting to hand paint / stencil mine is no easy feat! They…
