A Little Autumn Glamour

I LOVE my glitter pumpkins. They are my favorite decoration for this time of year! I love the way they look and I love the glam they bring into this season. It's kind of like the same feeling you get from Christmas decorations. And I'm also partial to them because I made them. It's so easy! You need:
-plastic pumpkins
-glitter
-spray adhesive
-clear coat spray sealer
-brown tole paint All you do is spray the pumpkins with spray adhesive. Then you sprinkle glitter all over them. I usually do it over something to catch the extra glitter so I can use it again. I sprayed the adhesive on then sprinkled glitter in sections because it would dry before I got glitter all the way around. It takes a LOT less glitter than you'd think! Then, when you're satisfied with your glitter coverage, spray the clear sealer on to make the glitter stay put...for the most part. Then, I painted the stems brown again because they got glittered up, too.
There you have it. Autumn Glamour. Go have some fun!

Fairy Wings for Tinkerbell & Peter Pan

Make It And Love It has a great tutorial for a Tinkerbell costume on her site right now, but what really impressed me was how she made the wings!!
Bent two wire hangers into wing shapes,Put cheap knee-highs around them,

Stuffed the ends in cardboard,

And covered the cardboard with pretty Tinkerbell fabric and attached strings so they could loop around her arms. So easy!! She's so creative.

And if you want to know how to make the rest of this awesome costume, click {here}.

As if that wasn't enough, she's also created this Peter Pan tutorial, {here}.

So Cute!

Halloween Party

Amy Atlas is amazing. Doesn't this party look awesome!??

And all this yummy food is making my mouth water. Cupcakes with chocolate cones as witches hats and black twizzlers as hair...white chocolate brownie balls as ghosts...

sprinkle covered orange and yellow truffles...brown and orange candied apples...oh the list goes on. I can't hope to make a party look this good...just look at it and be inspired...that is all I ask.

Pinecone Wreath

{U Create} has this great guest post from V and Co. for a tutorial for making this cute pinecone wreath. It's something that could be hung up from now all the way until sometime after Christmas! Easy too! Check it out.

Pumpkin Decor

{Skip To My Lou} has a recent post about decorating with pumpkins. She has a lot of great and easy ideas. Here are a few of my favorites:

Isn't that so cute with the ribbon?? So easy, too.

This one looks easy too. Just modge podge a bunch of leaves to a pretty white pumpkin. This would look great during Thanksgiving, no?

And I like the stenciled letters on these pumpkins. So cute. I may have to try this one.

Pumpkin Candle

This is a really easy simple fall decoration I made. All you need is:

-one small fake pumpkin

-one pillar candle

-one fall inspired candle ring or garland

-brown spray paint

Just cut the top off and scoop out the middle, just like you would if you were going to carve it.

Spray the inside brown so the white styrofoam middle doesn't show as easily. I actually used a stain spray and sprayed the outside of the pumpkin because it was one of those cheap hot orange colored ones and I wanted it to look a little more muted.

Stick a candle in it. You may have to adjust the shape of the bottom of the hole you dug out to make sure the candle sits straight.

And stick a candle ring or garland on top. It's one of my favorite decorations, and it was so easy to make!

Doll Bunkbeds

Love what {Paddywack Designs} did with this table~

Painted it, turned it upside down, and added bedding. Voila~ Bunkbed! I'd use it for dolls.

Autumnise Your Chandelier

{Crafty Chicks} has this great idea for making the chandelier a little more Halloweenish.

Don't you love that lantern!? I'm not a fan of really scary looking Halloween decor, and spiders scare me more than almost anything else in this world, so it's a little creepy for me that it's a spider web. But I still really like it. I think it's the cute ribbon that makes it ok for me.

At my house I've just strung a little leaf garland around my chandelier and I really like the way it's looking.

Game Decor

{Shanty 2 Chic} has some AWESOME tutorials on their blog. I love these game inspired decorations. I would love to put them in a game/play room someday.

Aren't these {Vintage Domino} pieces so cute!?

And I love the look of this {Vintage Bowling} set.

But my favorite one has got to be these {Vintage Dice}! Oh my gosh, so cute!

Awesome easy ideas.

Halloween Tree

 Love this idea from {Woman's Day}. Not only does it make a great Halloween decoration, but it's a very creative way to give party treats away - if you're planning on having a Halloween party. To make the tree, just spray paint a branch black and then anchor it (I'd use plaster of paris). And then cover whatever is anchoring it with black rocks. It would look good just like that, or you could hang decorations from it too, but for the treat bags, you can click on the link and get the tutorial.

Here is another version I saw on {Crafting Chicks}.

She just hung ornaments on it.

Or maybe her kids did. :)
Wouldn't they love doing that!?

Cute idea.

Fall Door Decor

{Thrifty Decor Chick} has these great ideas for decorating your door this season.

I especially love the idea to cover the wreath hanger with pretty ribbon. She just hot glued it on, and it makes it so much cuter!!

She also has a great idea to hang something on both the inside and outside of the door, so you get a pretty veiw from both ends. Cute.

And don't you just love the colors of this piece she made!!? Oh, I love fall!

Simple Cheap Fall Decoration

I'm loving this simple idea from {The DIY Show Off}. If you don't have a lot of money to spend on fall decor, this is something you can still do. All she did was grab a pretty fall leaf outside.

She used twine to wrap it around a plain old white candle that you can get at the dollar store.

So simple, but almost stunningly beautiful, don't you think!? It would be so pretty on a Thanksgiving table. I mean, you could do a lot of these and different heights and sizes and it would look so cool! But one looks so good alone, too. I love it.

Shirt Texture

I've been loving all these pretty textured shirts out there lately. But I'm not willing to pay the price to get some. I feel like I can make some on my own, thank you very much. Here's some JCrew inspiration for you:

And I saw these on {The Pleated Poppy}.

Apperantly she's on the same wavelength as I am.

Here's some inspiration from {My Momma Made It}. These are three individual pins that she can move from shirt to shirt.

Love it!?

And here's some in other colors.

I love the idea of being able to move them around. That just means you can make multiple shirts look fab. She sells these in her store and there's a link from her site (above) if you're interested.

I am going to attempt to make something like these. It really looks easy to do. We'll see how it goes. :)

Fall Front Porch

I love this golden display of fall. This picture seems to capture almost everything I love about this time of year. What a pretty way to decorate a front porch! Love those golden pumpkins. You KNOW they're spray painted. I also love the flowers - I want to say they're probably mums. And the leaves top it off, don't they!? They don't even look bad! My husband would really disagree there...
