DIY Baby Farmer Costume

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Roeshel

Michaels Makers October challenge is DIY Halloween costume.

So fun! Someone in our family is celebrating a first Halloween this year. But babies aren’t too interested in Halloween or costumes so I love that this costume really is super easy to throw together with an existing pair of overalls, and flannel or plaid shirt.

Grab a few props from Michaels and you have a perfect harvest/farm fresh themed photo opportunity for this time of year, a few decorative items to re-use and a comfortable baby ready for that Halloween party.

– shop from home!

bandana – tie on bib-style and/or cut a small piece for tucking to back pocket
straw hat
crate and veggies (artificial carrot bunch)
fall leaves
chalkboard garden stake
straw bale
not shown: silver bucket and alphabet stickers (create a milk pail for collecting trick or treat goodies)

Cute, right?

And easy too!

After the fact, you have items for an autumn harvest vignette or centerpiece. Duel purpose pieces rock!

DIY Essential Oil Infused Fall Room Spray

Posted on September 22, 2015 by Roeshel

Last week I hosted a fun fall celebration for family and friends in my home and wanted to share a few ideas and recipes (great ideas for a fall essential oils 101 Make & take class). I used one of my own fall decor images to create an invitation for make up a Facebook invitation/event.

Make & Take: a Make & Take is a term used for hosting an essential oils class where guests have the opportunity to make up an essential oil infused gift to take home with them, to sample the benefits of essential oils. My guests made up a fall room spray.

Essential Oil Infused Room Spray

You’ll need:

2 oz. spray bottles (I love THESE (affiliate link) – glass, fine mist and a lock, great price too)
Essential Oils (choose oils like Light the Fire essential oil or mix and match essential oils like cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg)
epsom salt (helps keep the blend of oil and water mixed)
distilled water
labels/stickers/ribbon

Directions:

Fill spray bottle with distilled water (fill to about 1/2 to 1 inch below the top). Add 5-7 drops of essential oil and a pinch of epsom salt. Embellish spray bottle with a label, fall sticker and ribbon, if desired. Easy!

Light the Fire essential oil

As an extra little something/thank you gift/party favor…we made up these cute easy DIY monogrammed mini pumpkins.

I created a ‘pumpkin patch’ for guests to pick a pumpkin to monogram with metallic stickers.
