$1.00 each! what a deal, so I picked up a patriotic book for my displays in summer and the Jabberwocky for Halloween. The Guitar book is for my grand son that is learning how to play.

Two Farmhouse DIY Autumn Pumpkins using Dollar Tree Items

Two more diy project to add to my FALL decor

Using a Dollar Tree pumpkins sign

Gave this sign two coats of Waverly chalk paint.

gluing the fall plaid fleece fabric scarf from Dollar Tree added a piece of burlap to stem.  Then added fall leaves, twine, and raffia also purchased from The Dollar Tree.

After looking at this project it needed more, so I added also from Dollar Tree a metal welcome piece and painted wooden letters to spell out Fall and added them to the decor pieces.  I think the finished product turned out very well.

I made a second pumpkin sign using a pumpkin sign form and adding the fall fleece fabric plaid scarf to cover the pumpkin shape.

Using a sign piece from another pumpkin sign, I use my glue gun and made lines to imitate corrugated metal and put aluminum foil over top to make it look like a metal piece.

Hand painted Hello Pumpkin and added a little brown paint around the edge to make it look rusted.  I'm still practicing this technique and glued it to the front of the pumpkin shape.

Thank you for stopping by, And may God Bless You and Your Family!

Buffalo-Check Pumpkin - DIY for Fall Farmhouse Décor

Hi Friends,

 This week I have been obsessed with making Buffalo-Check pumpkins for my Fall décor.

Diy Project, putting my touch to a Dollar Tree pumpkin sign.

I a saw this technique done by one of my favorite you-tuber Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy she used paper to cover her pumpkin signs.

Using a couple of the Dollar Tree pumpkin sign, I painted them all with white chalk paint two coats 

then using masking tape I marked out where to make the black stripes going vertical then horizontal; the come out with this checker board pattern.

I add a few burlap leaves, raffia, jute string and a couple of silk yellow leaves to the stem and wa.. la..

Here is how I displayed the pumpkin sign in my Fall decor.

Thank you for stopping by, until the next project.

Believe in yourself, Vicki

Hello Fall

Hi Friends,

Outside the leaves are changing, light frost in the mornings, and a crisp coolness in the air.

My home decor is changing to FALL decor!

This year I'm adding orange pumpkins, bittersweet sprigs and of course the black and white check accents are everywhere. 

In a corner of my fireplace mantel I display a diy farmhouse FALL sign, a pumpkin picture from my granddaughter, a ceramic pumpkin from Dollar Tree that I painted and added fall color leaves, and a diy buffalo checked pumpkin piece using a sign from Dollar Tree.

More pumpkins in this little vignette, FALL garland and another diy hand painted buffalo checked pumpkin.

A tray on the coffee table full of FALL leaves little orange  and green pumpkins, dried corn cobs, acorns, sprigs of bitter sweet, and vine bowl fillers.

Another vignette with a hand painted buffalo checked pumpkin made from a Dollar Tree pumpkin form, stacked little orange and green pumpkins. Sprigs of bitter sweet and dried corn cobs tucked into a cigar box.

Thank you for stopping by to check out a few of my FALL vignettes, I'm sure there will be a few more diys to share.

Vicki
