Household tips
Fall is a time of change, so why not take a little time to
make some quick, easy and inexpensive updates to your home,
to reflect the spirit of the season! Here are some great
ideas to inspire you to enjoy the season in every part of
your home!
1.Line a pretty bowl or tray with a cloth napkin, and fill
with nature finds such as acorns, seed pods, pinecones, or even
pretty stones. Now nestle a small cup or bowl into the
center of the larger bowl, fill with water, then tuck mum,
daisy, or sunflower blossoms inside the small cup. A pretty
centerpiece for any table, or even a friendly greeting to
set on your front porch!
2.Pick up some wire edged ribbon from your local discount
store in wonderful fall shades. It doesn't have to be
orange! Golds, greens, browns-any deep earthy color will do!
Now wind your ribbon around your everyday displays for an
immediate autumn boost! Let the ribbon wind and curve
naturally in and out of your decorative objects on mantels,
shelves, or the top of armoires or entertainment centers.
Tie a bow with a wavy trail of ribbon around baskets or
display bowls. Even tie your guest towels with it!
3.Make a pretty fall wreath for your front door. Pick up a
grapevine or straw wreath for just a couple of dollars at
the craft or discount store, they are perfect for the
season. Take the kids on a nature walk and gather organic
elements for your wreath. Small pieces of driftwood, a tiny
birds nest, seed pods or pretty stones are all great ideas!
Always remember to gather responsibly! Now use your glue gun
to attach all the items, and finish with a pretty fall bow,
or wind a silk fall leaf garland around the whole wreath. If
you don't have a glue gun, twist ties from bread bags can be
used to wire the items on from the back. Hang on your front
door, over a fireplace, or over your bed.
