Tuesday Tutorials - Fall & Halloween Wreaths

Now that the season is about to change it's time to spruce up your front door with some fall decor. I found some really cool wreath ideas for fall and Halloween that I'd like to share with you today.

The first one is from www.thelongthread.com, I love it's simplicity.



The next one I found was from www.alisaburke.blogspot.com. It's very unique and her instructions are very clear.



This one is very traditional and I LOVE it. Find out how www.craftysisters-nc.blogspot.com made this wreath.



Last, and certainly not least, is this burlap ruffle wreath from www.jonesdesigncompany.com.

Hopefully one of these will suit your style or maybe inspire you to make you own.
Thanks for visiting us today.

Organizing -- Pantry Organizer

Need a little extra pantry organizer?    If you have a little room beside your refrigerator,  this looks like a nice diy project.   

 I believe you can buy similar ready made ones but if you are into diy then give this a try.
It is a great way to use wasted space.

You will find the instructions on Classy Clutter.

Trash to Treasure

Don't you just love when you can make something wonderful from found objects?   Here are some great ideas for making trash into treasure.

This great bench was made from two chairs and some wood by MakandJill.


I love this clock from Meridian Road.


I don't know where this originated.   I saw it on Pinterest.    Made with only five boards and some nails and looks pretty self-explanatory.





Thanks for visiting today.
