Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Fall Mason Jars

I  love fall and all the colors of fall and I know that a big trend now is decorating Mason Jars so I found this tutorial on making a luminary fall leaf mason jar that Jill over at Create Craft Love has. I really like the way this turned out and it only took a few steps to complete...yep....my kind of project! Why not give it a try. :)

Happy crafting!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcycle Your Fall

Ok....it is official Fall now so we can really get going on the fall decorating. Why not use some upcycled decorations for your fall decor. What better place to find some upcycled items than Etsy. Let's take a look.......


Pumpkins are a big part of fall decorating and this pumpkin that RekindledPleasures has is made from a chenille bedspread. I remember those types of bedspreads! Very cute pumpkin.

Fall and Halloween go hand in hand and if you like the primitive wood look in your decorating these barnwood candy cane and ghosts from LnMPrimitives would fit the bill for both fall and Halloween decorating. 

We have to have something for the walls and this banner and garland that PeonyandThistles has was made from a British book of flora and fauna. How pretty are these paintings. Just gorgeous!

And look at these cute little recycled jars! They would be so cute sitting on a shelf or on your windowsill. AnnsArtShoppe has these cute little things. 

So these are just a few of the items I found on Etsy to help decorating your fall home. Amazing how people come up with ideas to recycle!

Have a great week and happy decorating!

Colleen :)
