Trick For Making Scented Pinecones

I keep being bombarded by the fragrant pinecones at all the craft stores! And every time I go to buy a bag, I think to myself, I CAN MAKE THESE MYSELF. And then I never get around to actually making them. Well all that is changing today! You definitely want to make these NOW instead of later because while this only takes 5 SECONDS TO MAKE, it takes about 3-4 weeks to cure. Make them this week so they're ready in time for Thanksgiving next month! Supplies Needed: Unscented pinecones Cinnamon Essential oil (or any other scent you prefer) Heavy duty trash bag

7 Chic Pumpkin Ideas

I wanted to share with you seven super cute Fall pumpkin ideas that you HAVE TO DO this season! I love the classy look of heirloom and white miniature pumpkins and gourds in delicate glass trays and vessels. Carve out space for tea lights in miniature pumpkins. Decoupage pumpkins with beautiful papers that you can find anywhere! Turn a bookcase into an enchanted forest! Put all your metal spray paint to good use by gilding them in all kinds of colors and finishes. Create a starry night with holes instead of a traditional pumpkin carving.

Pumpkin Glam

If you've seen pictures of gorgeous pumpkins decked out with rhinestone crystals and loved them just as much as me, then you too are probably trying to find a cheap and easy way to do the same thing! Now, I've seen what Swarovski crystals cost: A LOT OF MONEY! So that's out. And I've also seen how cheap-looking and cloudy the acrylic rhinestones are at the craft stores. What to do?!?!?!?! Easy solution: Sequins on the strand, which is sold by the yard. Of course, it's cheaper to buy an entire spool. This will give you meters and meters of sequins on a single strand that will go very far. What you need: Pumpkins Spooled sequins (on a strand)

Insta-Fall: Candlestick Drama

So, remember that cute Halloween project I told you about that used random candlesticks? You can read about it right here. Well, as long as you have those candlesticks, put them to Fall use with this ingenious project. The best part of this is that if you did the Halloween project I just mentioned, 99% of your job here is done! No kidding! What you need: Random candlesticks (you should have already gotten these and painted them black) Black spray paint (if you didn't do this project) Mini pumpkins Gather your random candlesticks and spray black. After they are dried, simply stick miniature pumpkins on top for a cute Fall look. For extra credit, you can turn those mini pumpkins into candle tea light holders to give off light and Fall ambiance. But, only if you want to!

Insta-Fall: Berries and Pumpkins

Since the Fall is pretty much the season of get togethers and out of towners, that also means you'll be busy with dinners at the dining room table. I love how easy and elegant this idea of berries and pumpkins is for a Fall dinner centerpiece. Very simply, you get the effect of Fall without it being too much on the table. The choice of white pumpkins blends with the white of the china making it a gentle approach to Fall instead of being too obvious. Wrapping them up in a swag of vine and berries gives it a harvest Fall touch, and away from Halloween. What you need: White pumpkins Berries on the vine (from Michael's or Hobby Lobby) Bobby pins (as needed, if you need them)
