Easy Fall Pillow

While I called this a Fall Pillow, it could be made out of any type of fabric and altered to fit the season, or your decorating style.  Super easy...here is what I did:

Start by covering a pillow form you already have or a new pillow form with your fabric of choice.  I used a fun fall print that would coordinate with my fall colors.  Next I used about six squares of brown craft felt, cutting them in half lengthwise and scalloping one long edge that would be the outside of the flower.  I then sewed the ends together so I had one long scalloped piece of felt to create my flower out of.  From there I circled the felt around on the pillow until I liked the placement and size of the flower.  I then stitched it together and also to the front of the pillow.  I did use a bit of hot glue (yes...when you are addicted to hot glue it must be present in every project possible) to get the look just right.  I attached a fun, big button to pull the colors all together in the center and now I have a super cute pillow that I am trying to keep my kids from eating.

Burlap Wreath

I must admit that I am probably not as detailed as I should be in the post, while these are instructions it is not really a tutorial.  However, if you are even mildly crafty...you can make this blindfolded and while paying bills and making dinner.

1. Start out with a plain wreath, you can use grapevine, or any kind of basic wreath that you can glue the burlap to.
2. Cut about 15-20 (depending on how large your wreath is) 6" squares out of burlap.
3. Fold each square into a smaller square (in half then half again) and glue each burlap fold in a circular pattern around the wreath.
4. Decorate with any sort of pre-made Fall picks, ribbon, felt flowers and leaves (super easy to cut out and sew around the edges with black embroidery floss), raffia, with your glue gun. 
5. Glue a loop or ribbon or raffia on the back and hang to enjoy your fabulous new wreath!
