Antique Window Fall Decor

It is still really hot here but Fall is trying to come.  So I am encouraging it with an update to my antique window decor and getting it ready for fall.

Leaves
I bought the leaves in little packages of multiple leaves for .99 at Michaels.  I then simply "sewed" them together.  I took a needle and thread and ran the string through the top and bottom of the leaf and then took it to the next leaf.
I went through the top and bottom to help the leaf not twist the wrong direction.
I then just tapped the strings to the back of the window.

Fall Words
For the fall words, I used some blank wood tags and mod podged some scrapbook paper to each tag.
I used the tag as a template to cut the paper.

I used to my Silhouette to cut out the letters for fall.
I then poked a hole through the paper where the hole in the tags are with some scissors, I always poke from the front to the back so the extra paper sticks out the back.
Then I added one more layer on mod podge on top to give it a nice gloss.

Then I used some string and hung each letter, each string getting progressively longer, once again I just taped the strings to the back of the frame.

And for one final touch, I added a little garland of leaves, that I got at the dollar store to the bottom corner of the frame

Which nicely completed my- please come fall weather- antique window decor

Have you decorated for the fall yet?

  2. It looks great, Emmy! I like the little hanging tags and the leaves. Still looks great with the B&W photos on each side, too! Your antique window is still my favorite of all the crafts you've done and it's so versatile!

    I haven't decorated for fall ever. We don't really get a fall here, so it would feel a little strange to decorate for it. :o/ We always seem to go straight from summer into winter.

  12. I'm going to have to search your blog for the antique window origin. I've never seen that before! That looks great, I still haven't even hung up the pictures in the new house yet. I'm nervous, what if I never get the hang of decorating for the holidays? (I can do the Christmas tree, lol I've figured that part out.
