My Easy Fall Crafts

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!
