Fall Decor

Posted on August 1, 2016 by Roeshel

The Michaels’ Makers August challenge is all things Fall decor. Why yes, it IS a bit early but it’s also a great time to collect inspiration for decorating your home for fall in another month or so. It’s going to be here before we know it. Time flies!

What’s your favorite color palette for Fall? Warm Fall colors – oranges, reds, golds are so pretty, aren’t they? I also love an autumn color scheme consisting of plum, dusty rose, burgundy and dark turquoise. ALL THE FALL THINGS available at Michaels! I’ve done some of both in the past but this year, I’m embracing warms whites (creams) and metallics, specifically gold with an easy monogram pumpkin silhouette and coordinating decorative accents.

How to make a decorative fall lighted craft pumpkin monogram silhouette lamp…
Materials I used:

cream craft pumpkin with cutout front (Remember my diorama pumpkin where I cut out my own? This year, Michaels’ saves you that step!)
BoHo Modern (round/chicken wire) hanging memo/photo display
letter “B” (gold)
mason jar
LED fairy lights

What I did: create a beautiful light up display in minutes!

Add batteries to lights then place battery pack inside craft pumpkin, fill mason jar with lights. Turn lights on.
Hang round BoHo Modern chicken wire photo display from craft pumpkin stem.
Attach monogram letter using photo display clips.
Display with coordinating Fall decor from Michaels!

A ready-made bouquet, gold basket and cute owl floral pick add texture to my Fall vignette. Are you ready? Where do you start? What’s your favorite part of the Fall season?

Fall Party Snack Ideas

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Roeshel

A recent fall make & take essential oils class prompted a little creativity with essential oil infused recipes.

{some affiliate links included below}

Pumpkin Spice Muffins – I love the ease of making Weight Watchers muffins (and the consistency of the batter).

Ingredients:

15 oz. can of pumpkin
cake mix (spice, carrot or vanilla)
clove essential oil, nutmeg essential oil, ginger essential oil
(or Thieves essential oil)

Directions: Simply add a 15 oz. can of pumpkin to a cake mix (I chose French vanilla this time) and mix. Adding water is optional. I did add about 3/4 c. Mix in 2-4 drops of essential oils. Spoon into muffin cups and bake 20-25 minutes. I topped mine with cream cheese frosting and dust with powdered cinnamon or embellish with edible acorn (Hershey’s Kiss, Nutter Butter mini for top and chocolate chip…but obviously no longer low cal with toppers). Makes 24 muffins!

Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Party Mix

Ingredients:

2 cups of each Chex cereal: wheat, cinnamon, honey nut
crushed white chocolate covered pretzels (I used 2 small snack sized bags)
bag of pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 drops of cinnamon bark essential oil
2 packages of mini waffle bowls (24)

Directions: Add everything to a large bowl (with lid) or bag. Shake. Serve in mini-waffle cone bowls.

Apple Cider Punch (adapted from BHG)

Ingredients:

1/2 gal. apple cider
2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 750 ml bottle of sparkling grape juice
serve over ice with a drop of cinnamon bark or lemon essential oil

Add everything to punch bowl or beverage decanter and stir.

Cheese & Cracker Tray – add your choice of essential oils to create a cream cheese spread, a delicious dip or a drop or two to hummus. Add some fresh organic fruit and nuts, etc.

Pin for future reference!

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!
