{Fall} Decorating With Corn

Indian Corn Garland

{via BHG}

Fall has only just begun, so you have plenty of time to spruce up your home with a little fall decor. This Indian Corn Garland is an easy DIY project that would look perfect on a mantle, draped across a buffet or dessert table or even hung over your front door.

Directions {From BHG}

* Cut rope two feet longer than the area in which you intend to hang the garland.

* Then twist screw-eye hooks (with openings about the same size as the rope diameter) into the tops of mini ears of corn, one per ear.

* Bend corn husks into loops and hot-glue the pointed ends together.

* Thread the husks and ears onto the rope and hang.

Candy Corn Garland

{via Woman's Day}

Here is a different kind of corn garland; a garland using candy corn! This would be a fun project to include the kids on. And I'm sure everyone wouldn't mind eating a few while working!

Directions {From Woman's Day}

* Thread monofilament fishing line (found at hardware stores) onto a needle and poke it through the candies, avoiding areas where the colors meet - corn breaks easily at these points.

* Hang using cloth tape.

{DIY} Invitation Wooden Number Keepsake

Today I have an easy and fabulous tutorial to share with you! Amanda of My Mommie's Favorite Finds loved her sons' birthday invitation so much and didn't want them to end up at the bottom of a memory box. So, she created this adorable keepsake! As told by Amanda...

Invitation Wooden Number Keepsake

Materials needed: invitation, wooden numbers (or letters), scissors, paint brush and Mod Podge

Step One:

Place the wooden number (or letter) face down. Then, center the invitation.

Step Two:

Turn the materials upside down and trace on the back of the invite.

Step Three:

Cut and apply a layer of Mod Podge on the number.

Step Four:

Place the cut invitation down to match what you traced. Patch with leftover invitation pieces to fill missing spots on the numbers.

Step Five:

Once the number is covered, add another coat of Mod Podge. Let it dry and it's ready!

Here is a picture of the CUTE invitation! I can see why Amanda wanted to save it!

Here is a sneak peek of some of her party goods. The party is next weekend and I can't wait to see her creative touches!
