I think the buffalo plaid bow really makes it pop. I made these ornaments by creating images inside a template, that I print out on to printable inkjet transparent plastic sheets and when cut out they fit inside the ornament.

DIY Fabric Pumpkin

Fall is almost here and I am extremely excited. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before on how Fall is my most favorite season. It’s definitely my most favorite time of year besides Christmas.

If you are like me and think that fabric pumpkins are really cute then you are going to want to see today’s video tutorial. I am going to show you how to easily make a fabric pumpkin out of an upcycled thrift store sweater.

The best part about these fabric pumpkins is that you can make them any color you want depending on the color sweater you find. They can be embellished with so many items from sticks, ribbon, raffia, flowers, and even broaches. Go crazy and make it your style.

Since I’m going for the farmhouse style in my home decor, I found neutral sweaters from my local thrift store. I paired the off white sweater with jute cording, neutral scrap ribbon and a stick from my yard as the stem. I just love how they turned out.

Watch below on how to turn and old sweater into fabric pumpkins.

Materials:
Old sweater (thrift store)
Fiber Fill
Embroidery floss
Embroidery needle
Jute/Twine
Yarn Needle
Small elastic
Embellishments

DIY Farmhouse Scroll Sign, Farmhouse Decor

Yes, you read that right, DIY Farmhouse Scroll Sign! I love the farmhouse style and thanks to Joanna Grimes many of you do too. So, today’s video tutorial I am going to show you how to make a simple yet gorgeous farmhouse scroll sign. Look at how gorgeous it is. If you prefer video tutorials, then scroll to bottom of this post for the video tutorial.

To make this farmhouse scroll sign you will only need a few supplies. I used a roll of kraft paper from the Dollar Tree, twine/jute, vinyl letting and paper clips.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to design and cut out my quote from black vinyl. I weeded the excess vinyl away from the lettering and placed transfer paper on top of it. If you need your own vinyl quote, then you can find many farmhouse SVG files over at SoFontsy. I will warn you beforehand that you will love everything you see and want to buy it all.

Next, I rolled up the bottom part of the kraft paper a few times and secured it with clothespins (optional). I used the clothespins to secure the roll in place so the bottom wouldn’t roll up when I applied the vinyl lettering.

After securing the bottom roll I placed my vinyl lettering/transfer tape sticky side down onto the kraft paper. (I made sure to measure the top and sides of the kraft paper so the quote would be centered on the paper). Once the vinyl lettering was adhered to the kraft paper I removed the transfer paper.

Next, I took the twine/jute and ran it down the center hole of the top roll and tied it in a knot. I hid the knot inside the center hole on the top roll.

To finish the scroll sign off I removed the clothespins on the bottom roll and placed a paper clip on each side and moved them to the back of the roll so they would face the wall when the scroll sign is hung up.

I love how this farmhouse scroll sign turned out! It’s one of my favorite projects and it’s easy enough to make different quotes and quotes for the holidays. I am definitely planning to make another one for Christmas.

Materials
Kraft Paper Roll
Twine/Jute
Vinyl Lettering
Paper Clips
Scissors
