My Fall Decorations

I absolutely love decorating my place for fall. Even it's small, the little things that bring colors of fall makes the small apartment homey. I bring out my colorful futon cover that has warm colors and I make some handmade crafts to decorate with. On the banister that's over the staircase I have a cute arrangement where I have two glass jars; has potpourri and lined with fall leaves.

On of the end tables I bought huge leaves at a craft store and placed them along with a pumpkin and a votive holder.  

I made my kitchen counter centerpiece which is a big colorful platter that has leave pattern and I put potpourri and leaves lined around the jar. I place a tea-light on top of the potpourri and tied a raffia ribbon around the neck of the jar.

Whimsical Wreaths, Large and small

I made these adorable wreaths out of plastic bags, cut into 4" strips that I tied onto wire forms. One is a 9" circle and the other one is 12". I added some whimsical ornaments to each. After putting all the plastic strips on, I draped silver cording and made a bow on the top for the large wreath. The additional ornaments are my handmade ornaments that I painted myself and strung them in random places on the wreath. For the small wreath I draped green curling ribbon for the bow.
