Ooooh! I am SO loving this fall season! Pumpkins are just great! I saw something similar to this in a super expensive shop.... I just thought Hey?! Georgina could easily make those for 99p! So that she did, Ha! That pumpkin was 99p.... I already have a pack of 100 tealights which were only £2.99. So, yeah! Did well for myself here. I love the way it looks. Naw! Just carve out a circle in the top of your pumpkin that is just the same size as the base of your tealight... and it will slot in nicely!

Colourful Acorns!

I have a load of felt balls hanging around in my craft room that I got from ages ago. Time to make something for Fall out of them me thinks!

You will need:

Acorn Heads

Felt balls or make your own (http://paintedthreadsprojects.blogspot.com/2008/10/making-felted-balls.html)

Glue gun!

1. This is where some little children would come in very handy! Go find lots and lots of acorns. Take the green plant thingy out of the shell.

2.Glue gun the ball into the acorn heads. Some will fit just so, which is really handy!

3. Make lots and lots of them! You could put them in a jam jar, you could put them in a bowl, you could display them one by one on a shelf.... the possibilities are endless! Ha!

Mushroom Pencil Toppers

I just made this... it was really easy. Used my glue gun to put it all together and they are pearls of an old bracelet!

Pumpkin Love!

Pumpkins are sooo cute!!! I haven't really ever decorate my house for fall before *gasp* but you will let me off because it's only my second fall whilst actually having my own home to decorate. I thought it was just christmas decor *even deeper gasp*.  Soooo seeming as everyone else seems to have gone fall crazy and their ideas are just so cute... I had to have a go. I love Autumn alot, I love the colours, I love the weather, I love the leaves, I love the scarves... ooooh I just love it! So here are my lil pumpkins!

You will need:

Orange fabric

Quirky stick

Stuffing of some kind (i used balls of fabric for some and cotton wool for others)

Needle and Thread (dont worry not too much sewing involved)

Scissors

Two Rubber bands or hair ties!

1. Fold your fabric together, right side in, and sew closed as neat or as scruffy as you like. There. That's all you need your needle and thread for!

2. Place stick inside top opening and seal with a rubber band. Most of your stick should be inside the fabric as this will be the stem.

3.Turn this inside out and fill with stuffing. Be sure to stuff it up at the top to make it a nice shape.

4. Once you are happy with the shape secure it with the other band and chop off the excess fabric. Then push the little stub into the fabric so it sits nicely on a flat surface!

How easy was that... yup I went a little mad and made loads. Also made that little decor at the back it says Fall on the bunting!

Glittery Lanterns

Hey you guys!!! Can I just say how glad I am to have 3 new followers... I hope you enjoy it here!! :D

Today I went out to buy some glittery card to make these lovely lanterns! It was only £2 for 10 sheets.... not that great i know, but I have had this idea for ages so I wanted them to look as good as poss! Instead you could just get a white piece of card and get your glitter shakers to work!

 You will need:

Glittery card - posh or not posh

Glue gun!

Tissue paper

Jar of any size

Tealight candle

Scissors

Ruler Pencil

Crafting Knife

1. First you will need to select the jar that you will put your tealight in. If you want a mini lantern... use a baby food jar... mine is average so I just used  Jam jar. Then you want to wrap your sparkly card around your jar and then give about 3cm and snip it off. Then make another snip up the side of the height of the jar giving another 3cm.

2. Next you want to make it to fold into four... so do the maths. Mine was 30cm long so 30 divided by four is 7.5. At every 7.5cm make a little mark with your pencil. Then fold them neatly so it looks like the above! Get your tissue paper and cut out exactly the same shape as you have just made with your glittery card.

3. Next cut out the pattern you want to shine through with a crafting knife. I wanted a star and 'LOVE' written on mine.  Now you can glue your tissue paper behind the card. Looking good?!! Now glue along the two ends and join them together!

4. Put your jar inside the case and put a tealight candle inside.


Light it.... and....

Aaaah it's lovely!!

Jam Jar Soap Dispenser

Well, it seems that jars are all the rage in crafting land at the moment. The big thing is candle holders which are definitely very cute! So I have been racking about what I could make my Nestle jam jar into....
how about an extra cute soap dispenser?! Hey hey... I liiiike it!

You will need:
Jam jar
An old soap dispenser
Glue of some kind
And pretty things to decorate it with  (optional)


1. You need to take apart your soap dispenser first. I am not very 'professional' at all really, so I just got a dead pencil and shoved it through the top of the lid of the jar. It just so happened that the pumpy thing fitted perfectly!!


2. Just insert the pumpy thingy through the hole and glue around the rim so that it stays forever and ever.

3. Pour your soap into the jar.

4. Make it look pretty! I didnt have any vintage looking string so I got a thread out of my burlap! I already had the beads... and Voila!

I really like this... it would make a great gift.

Paper Flower!

These flowers are mega cute and take under 5 mins... even on your first go. So get your colourful paper out and have a go!

You will need:
3 mins
Not a penny
Glue of some sort
Some colourful paper
Scissors

 1. Cut out quite a few petals... I was going to do 7 but i didnt feel even so I ended up doing 8.

 2. Fan them all.

 3. Join the first 3 with your glue. Then add the others behind to make it fuller.

 4. Cut out an orange circle and slit it 4 times and bend the corners over. If you want a poppy cut a black circle... I didnt have a black piece of paper :P

 5. Cut out a yellow circle and glue it in the middle of the orange one.

6. Cut two green papers into leaf shapes and then fold them and glue them to the back of the flower.

These could be used for anything... you could put a pin on the back to make it a broach or you could stick it to a notebook or you could make a whole load and make a garland or you could ...... tell me what you made with yours!!
