Fall Decor - The Idea Room

Fall Leaves Decor

Hey Idea Roomers! I am McKenzie from Girl Loves Glam and I am thrilled to be participating in the Fall Festival! The Idea Room has always been a source of inspiration for me. Amy is as sweet in person as she is on her blog too.

I am excited to share the newest addition to my Fall decor with you today, my door hanger. Not only is it so easy, but it is inexpensive too! You can’t go wrong with that.

You will need…

8 felt leaf place mats (I found mine at the dollar store!)

Burlap garland or ribbon

Ribbon (this will be hidden)

Hot glue or Tacky Glue

Spray starch

Flat iron

You are probably thinking, a flat iron?! Yes! I didn’t want the leaves to be totally flat against the door, so I decided to give them a little dimension. Just spray some starch on each of the leaves. Curl the edges of the leaves with your flat iron, by clamping down and curving the flat iron as you pull towards the edges.

Lay out your leaves how you want them to be and glue them together. I used hot glue because my door hanger isn’t actually outside. If it is going to be outside, I recommend using something like Tacky Glue.

Put a ribbon through the top of the leaves. I poked a hole in one, and laced the ribbon through the center slit on another leaf. Tie the ribbon in the back. This is how it will hang up on your door.

Make a giant bow out of your burlap ribbon or garland and glue it to the top of your leaves.

Hang it up and enjoy! I need to give a big thanks to Amy for inviting me to join you today! Come see what else I am up to at Girl Loves Glam, Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter.

Here are a few of my favorite Fall projects so far…

Hi there Idea Room fans! We’re simply thrilled to be a part of Amy’s new Fall Festival series and share our latest DIY Fall decor with you today:

To introduce ourselves, we are Kelli & Kristi of Lolly Jane, an eclectic DIY blog chalk full of home decor tutorials, home improvement projects, crafts, free printables and even a tasty recipe or two. We would love for you to pop by sometime and say hi! Today we’re going to show you how to create a simple piece of art from an unused cabinet door in just a few steps. After designing a few autumn phrases, we cut in out in vinyl to use as a stencil, applied the paint in fall hues and distressed the heck out of the cabinet door, in true Lolly Jane style! If you don’t have a cabinet door ~~lying around in your decor closet collecting dust~~ available, feel free to simply print our design and place in an 8×10 frame to spruce up your fall space! Click HERE to download your own :) We have learned it can be easy to make something from nothing. (Stay tuned next week to see our upcycled grapevine wreath Kristi pulled from the trash!) A big thanks to Amy for letting us be her guesties today! We hope we have inspired you to start decorating for fall in an inexpensive way. Take a peek at a few of our other fall projects:

Fall is my very favorite season and I have asked a few of my favorite bloggers to share some of their fall favorites here with you. I am so excited to have Jamielyn from I {Heart} Naptime sharing her adorable Fall Wreath as part of The Idea Room Fall Festival!

Hi there The Idea Room friends! I’m Jamielyn from iheartnaptime.net and I’m SO excited to be here today. I absolutely adore Amy and her blog. She is one of my favorite bloggers out there and I’m sure you can agree. :)

Today I’m going to share with you this simple and cute fall wreath. I absolutely LOVE decorating for fall! I was so excited to pull out all my fall decor this year.

Fall-Wreaths

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Supplies:

Wreath (found at any craft store)
Glitter leaves (found at Hobby Lobby)
One square of felt
Scissors
Hot glue

The first thing you’ll want to do is make the felt flowers. These are really simple to make and can be used for many different crafts.

Start by cutting out a 2 in circle. Don’t worry it doesn’t have to be perfect. ;)
Start on one edge of the circle and cut a swirl until you reach the middle.
Once your circle is cut, grab the edge from the middle and start rolling the piece in like a rose, hot gluing as you go.
Then make about 10 more flowers. You can use different colors and make the circles bigger as well to get a unique look.

Next I glued my leaves around the center of the wreath.

Once the leaves were glued on, I glued felt roses to the center of the leaves and on some of the branches. Add a piece of lace and hang up your new wreath. :)
