Get Cozy for Fall – DIY recipes and ideas

It’s all about fall and the best time to get cozy this season with essential oils to promote wellness. ESPECIALLY this time of year. all about fall essential oils recipes and DIY Ideas

Welcome Fall

If you’re new to essential oils and need more info, see more HERE. It’s a membership much like the one I purchase at Amazon and Sam’s Club (familiar with those?) but you actually have something to show for the life time membership fee (11 oils + diffuser + DIYShowOff welcome bundle). No obligation to sell (it’s there if you want it, ignore it if you don’t). No obligation to ever buy again (but now you have access to wholesale prices for life if you do, ignore it if you don’t). The kit is a fantastic deal to get you started and a great way to give them a try. That’s it! So easy, right?

Halloween DreamCatcher Decor

Who here is a BIG fan of all things Halloween? ::raises hand:: We aren’t into super scary so I whipped up the cutest Halloween Dreamcatcher Decor to share with you today, my pretties! I’m so excited that the Michaels Maker Challenge for October has a Halloween decor theme! Purrrrfect! It’s cute. It’s colorful. It’s fun! 

Halloween DreamCatcher Decor Tutorial

Forget ‘dream’ catcher! With your creative magic, you just might wind up with a witch-catcher like I did. Look at what I snagged, you guys! This sweet little witch! Oh my goodness. Adorable! Er, frightful! 

Halloween witch dreamcatcher tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels

Okay, you’re right. The cupcake lure did the trick too. Treats. Gets ’em every time. But the witch-catcher dreamcatcher is pretty sweet if I do say so myself. This face…it’s the cutest!

Ready to make one of your very own Halloween dreamcatchers? Ex-cell-ent!!!

(Note: I’d steer clear of making a spider-catcher! Ain’t nobody wants to catch spiders. Except bats. Bats like spiders. )

Halloween witch dreamcatcher tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels

What I used:

  • embroidery hoop
  • glitter tape (you could also just paint your hoop so insert ‘craft paint’ here in your supply list if you’re so inclined)
  • felt spider web placemat 
  • lots of coordinating ribbons – so many fun colors and Halloween themed ones too (look for lace trim too)!
  • embellishments – my list included small colorful glitter balls, witch feet/skirt headband, small raven, glitter floral/Halloween (maybe even tucked in with some Christmas) pics
  • hot glue gun and hot glue

*Michaels provided a gift card for supplies for this project, so in case you didn’t know, all supplies for this project were purchased at Michaels Craft Store. Obv. Seriously, do you spend hours in there finding all.the.crafty.treasures too?!  Michaels has everything you need to make your Halloween FUN! 

What I did:

(Psssst. The fun thing about DIY is you can alter it to fit your style/supplies…get creative and tweak this to come up with your own version. Creepy or Spooky. Fun and colorful or gory. You decide!)

  1. I used the inside piece of the embroidery hoop. I wrapped that with Duck Glitter Tape. You could also wrap it in ribbon or paint it or leave it naked. It’s up to you!DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels
  2. Next, I tied ribbons/twine/lace/trim/etc. along the bottom. I had to look it up but I used a lark’s head/cow hitch type knot to secure the ribbon to the wreath. Stagger the ribbon/trim lengths. I like the longest in the middle. Or make them all long at this point and trim them up later. DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels
  3. Using hot glue, secure the spider web placemat to the hoop. DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaelsDIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels
  4. Then add embellishments using hot glue too. I layered the floral pics above the knotted ribbon. I snapped off the headband from the witch’s skirt/legs. I added a raven to the back so that side was finished as well. Maybe add a few plastic spiders. I added some glittery balls. DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels DIY Halloween witch dreamcatcher tutorial tea party @diyshowoff #madewithmichaels

Now go proudly display it and and enjoy trick or treat!

Welcome, friends!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like fall! Let the decorating begin. Pumpkins and mums, rich warm colors and cozy sweaters. Love this time of year! Don’t you? 

Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff

I recently whipped up a festive dreamcatcher wreath for the door in the entryway (see the fall dreamcatcher wreath // door decor tutorial for more details).

I love decorating this entryway area where we installed Shaw’s durable and water resistant product called Floorte´. Style and color are Classico Plank // Antico and I love the rustic feel for this old farmhouse, don’t you? A beautiful mix of beige and grays. Very rustic. 

Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff

The perfect farmhouse vibe with a durable beautiful finish to it. Perfect for greeting friends, tracking in wet leaves. No worries! And best of all, it compliments our home’s style. So warm and welcoming!

I also added a few fall touches to our living room to spice things up creating a cozy reading spot for curling up with a good book and mulled cider for those chilly autumn days. 

 

“October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came,—Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff The Ashes, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff The sunshine spread a carpet,
And every thing was grand;
Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff Miss Weather led the dancing;
Professor Wind, the band….
Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff The sight was like a rainbow
New-fallen from the sky….” ~George CooperFall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff

Finally, remember when I recently gave our dining room a color lover’s makeover and worried that the beautiful palette of blush, chartreuse, navy and grey would be short-lived because holiday decorating would be a challenge?Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff

I’m finding that the push to be creative with the specific color scheme is paying off and I love the results of a pink, cream, green and navy fall tablescape and decorative accents.  Fall Home Tour Shaw Floors diyshowoff

I wasn’t even going to decorate for fall. Life just gets so busy sometimes, you know? And once I got started, I was reminded that decorating is a great way to unplug and despite the creative energy, it’s very relaxing! Are you decorating for fall?

Thank for joining me for my fall home tour with Shaw Floors!
