This past Saturday we had some down time at the house before T's brother and sister-in-law came over to eat and watch football. So while T was using his time to clean out the shed, I decided to do a quick Fall craft. And when I say quick... I mean very quick. It probably took me 15 minutes (plus drying time)
I gathered my supplies and set up my work station in the garage.
What I used:
a scrap piece of wood that T cut to size
an exact o knife
Mod Podge
a sponge brush
and this cute Fall printable
I also had a fantastic cup of coffee* in my favorite mug.
All I did was lay the piece of wood and use the exact o knife to cut off the excess. Then I put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the wood, and put the paper down on top. Next, I put a thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper. Then I just let it dry for and hour or so (although I don't think it needed that long)
I put it on a plate stand by my front door. And I really love the way it looks. I think I'm going to make my mom one.
See how cute it is.....
I also found this cute fall paint chip printable, and decided to throw it in a frame. Here's a picture of it hanging on my wall...
So now I have 2 cute almost free Fall decorations in my house!
After T finished cleaning/organizing the shed (a really wish I had taken a picture of this), he put together 2 rocking chairs that his mom had gotten for us.
I think they look so sweet on our front porch. They'll look even better after I get some mums to go with them(along with my Halloween welcome mat and maybe a pumpkin or 2!)
I really love the fall!
