Step 2

Find the thickest stem in one set of florals and attach the bottom stem of a second set to it using your floral wire. Next, attach more floral wire about every 3” or so to ensure it stays together as you form them into a circle.

Tip:

Step 5

When you’ve finished forming your circle it will look like the above photo with random flowers hanging off. Clean it up a little by “pinning” those flowers to the circle using your floral wire.

Step 6

Next, begin adding in your remaining floral stems to fill out the rest of your wreath. Use the existing attached floral wire to secure and only add more wire where needed.

Plaid Thanksgiving Pallet Wall Art

Fall is absolutely the best time of year.  There is football, multicolored leaves, pumpkin everything, boots, and plaid everywhere!  It is like my Heaven on Earth. Of course the creative juices start flowing like crazy this time of year and there are always at least 10 projects going on at a time in my office.  One of those projects was this awesome plaid Thanksgiving pallet wall art.

Create this plaid Thanksgiving pallet wall art in time to hang for your festivities without taking away from meal prep!

Step 1

Take all packaging and tags off of your pallets.

Step 2

Put some paint into a container (or on a paint pallet) and add a small amount of water to it.  Mix well.

Tips:

  • It should be thinner but still retain a paint-like consistency.
  • It is best to add the water in small increments until you get the desired consistency.

Step 3

Begin covering your wall hanging with paint and water mixture.  Once you have covered about half, take a dry paper towel and wipe it over the paint.  This will allow the wood grain to show through giving you the look of stained wood instead of painted wood.

Step 4

Repeat step 3 until your entire pallet is “stained” and then allow it to dry completely.

Step 5

Once dry, cut a piece of plaid fabric to the size of the wall hanging and attach it to the back using hot glue.

Step 6

Lastly, attach a small picture hook to the back to hang.

Tip:

  • Because these are not very heavy, I opted to use hot glue to attach the hook.  If you are concerned about it holding, attach your hook using E6000 instead and allow to dry 24 hours before hanging.

Cinnamon Stick Candle Holder

Cinnamon and fall go together brilliantly.  Fill your warm home with that spicy smell and it is instantly cozier.  You just want to snuggle up on the couch under your favorite flannel blanket with a good book and a hot mug of apple cider.  Just as beautiful as the scent of cinnamon is the look of using cinnamon sticks in your décor.  Even better is that cinnamon sticks can be left up into the Christmas holiday season as well and still be beautiful and relevant.  What better décor idea than a cinnamon stick candle holder that you can fill with your favorite scent all season long?

Materials

Step 1

Clean your candle jar thoroughly.

Tip:

If there is still leftover wax inside, soak the jar in very hot water and it will come right out.

Step 2

Cut all of your cinnamon sticks in half using your box cutter.

Tip:

If you cannot get your box cutter completely through the cinnamon stick, score around the entire circumference of the center and it should snap in half easily.

Step 3

On a non-stick surface, place your candle jar on its side and apply E6000 to 2 sides of it.  Cover the glue with cinnamon stick halves.

Even though this project uses real cinnamon sticks, the scent didn’t last long so don’t rely on them to make your home fragrant.  It is still a beautiful addition to your holiday décor that you can fill with any scent of candle you want.  Tealights work best in your cinnamon stick candle holder because they can be easily removed once empty.  Also, when you need to clean your candle holder, gently wipe down with a damp cloth.  Do not submerge in water or wash in your dishwasher.

This project is so easy to make that you can whip up many of them in a day to create a beautiful table centerpiece that can be left up all season long.  Once you’re done, check out our Autumn and Christmas pages for more great projects like this!
