DIY Show Off Fall Festival – You're Invited!

Plenty of DIY going on around here at the DIY Show Off home but nothing fall decor related to personally share – yet! However, I managed to spend some fun time with my girls to take some fall pictures.   Disclaimer:  As you can tell, I am not a professional photographer so please don’t judge too much.  I’m a beginner and I still have a lot to learn. Like most DIY, it’s learn as I go. Here are a few of my favorites.

My girls, Bri and Ali…

We call this one anthropologie autumn…


We had a lot of fun and took some silly photos too.  Do I have a DIY display idea in mind? You bet!  More on that soon!  Think they’d look great on canvas?  Check out this deal…

FALL FOR ALL – DIY Fall Festival #6

HAPPY FALL

The last Fall Festival party post featured Fall Mantels and it was Fall Wreaths before that.  This week…it’s a FALL FOR ALL!  Here are some fun and easy DIY ideas submitted by readers.  So creative!  Then check out the links here and on past posts for DIY Fall heaven.   If you’re like me, you’ll be inspired to DIY and decorate, throw on a sweater, be warmed by a pumpkin spiced chai tea and enjoy your autumn decorated home.  Click the links for more details/tutorials.

I usually post this Thursday night but it’s so fall like here, I’m a little early today.  I have fall fever! And I scheduled it to post tomorrow morning – but for some reason “OOPS” – it posted asap.  So what is usually scheduled to post tomorrow evening for Friday is 24 hours early.  Oh well!  It’s fall, let’s celebrate!

 Pumpkin Topiary tutorial at Our SouthernNest:

Jennifer from the Perillo Four made this pretty fall wreath (inspired by my burlap/fabric wreath!). Great job, Jennifer!
Sharon at Keen Inspirations made one too – I love how she framed it.

And Ashley from A Forty Year Old Ranch did one too – a great example how using different fabrics can make a unique look.
