It's time to get a jump on your Autumn home decor! Here are a few ideas we did on Studio 5 today to help you get started.
Fall Wall Hanger- Make it yourself by following the instructions below, or call today and sign up for a kit. Kits come with everything you need to complete the hanger and are just $18. Kits will be available for pick up on September 10th.
To make this on your own, you will need:
8 heavy weight patterned papers (we used My Mind's Eye)
4 5x7 photos
"FALL" die cut lettering (we cut ours using the QuicKutz silhouette)

2 dowel caps
Jump rings
Brown Ink Pad
Corner Rounder

Pop Dots
Assorted Ribbons
Instructions:
Cut patterned papers to 5x7 cards, round corners of papers and photos.
Lay out papers and photos in desired order.
Using pop dots, adhere lettering to cards
Place stickers as desired or as shown in photograph
Punch holes in the center top, bottom, and sides of each card (do not punch holes in outside edges of cards) *Be careful to punch holes evenly so that they will match up from card to card.
Using jump rings, connect cards on sides and top and bottom.
Thread ribbon through jump ring connected to the top cards and tie around dowel.
Tie a variety of ribbons around dowel to add fluff!
Coaster Candle Holder- This cute, festive holder can be used to dress up a candle, hurricane cylinder or vase. *MAKES A GREAT GIFT
We made it using the apple coasters from Maya Road, but you could also use any other shaped chipboard.
To make this project, you will need:
Set of chipboard coasters from Maya Road $2.99
Assorted Papers for covering
Maya Mist or paint to cover chipboard
Ribbon for tying
Small hole punch
Instructions:
Paint or spray each chipboard coaster to cover natural chipboard if desired.
Trace shapes onto patterned paper and cut out slightly inside traced line to leave a border
Adhere paper to chipboard
Punch small hole in the edges of each shape
Use ribbon to tie shapes together
slip around candle or vase.
Paper Loop Wreath: This classic wreath can bring a splash of fall color to your door. It is simple to make and can easily be customized to match your decor.
To make this wreath, you will need:
8-10 patterned papers
Stapler
1 foam wreath base
Glue gun and glue sticks
Ribbon for tying
Instructions:
Cut each patterned paper into 36 1X4" strips
Staple each piece in half, forming a loop of paper
Begin gluing pieces to wreath base around the outer edge of the wreath. Overlap pieces slightly. Continue in layers until wreath is covered completely.
After entire wreath is covered, fluff loops out so they fill up the open spaces.
Attach ribbon with pins in back of wreath. Tie in bow and hang where desired.
