Fall Paper Decor

September 24, 2012 By Meegan 23 Comments

Okay, okay, now that Fall is really here according to the calendar, I can start sharing a few Fall projects around our home.  I just had to let Summer last as long as possible.  I just love Summer-what can I say??  I started by making some Fall Paper Decor.

I decided to use my grandpa’s croquet box as the base.  I played around with coffee filters after making the coffee filter wreath.  I decided to dye some in tea.  I soaked the filter in a pot of tea overnight.  So I taped up a few book page cones-and started to play.

This is my final result.  I am very pleased how she turned out.  I used a few empty jars, filled them with my book page cones, then added my tea dyed “flowers”.

I made the “flowers” just like I did for the coffee filter wreath-EASY PEASY!!

I also added torn pages to “fill in” in-between the jars.

I REALLY like my book page flower-so I clipped her onto the croquet box.  Great addition, don’t you think??

I was walking back from the pool and the pine cones caught my eye-just the right touch for Fall decor.

Now I have a little Fall decor with a little imagination.  She looks pretty right here for everyone to see.

I had fun add some Fall Paper Decor to begin Fall decorating.

What paper projects have you done lately?  Please share them with me.  I am discovering all kinds of different ways to use paper.  It is a creative outlet I am really enjoying.

Thanks for following me.

Make it a marvelous Monday!!
