Our cheap and easy Thanksgiving door hanger

David really wanted to get a fall wreath for our door. I was feeling crafty and said, 'I can do it myself! Why buy a pre-made one??' So we found this cute little door hanger basket at Michael's along with a lot of super cheap fall decorations. So after a few times of throwing this basket against a wall, David and I finished our little Thanksgiving door hanger.
 
What you need:
1. A bunch of fall flowers and picks. Remember: It's not fall without a pumpkin in there somewhere.
2. Some cute little owls with glue cobwebs hanging from their eyes (that’s how you know you got a good deal).

3. A twiggy basket that will poke your fingers 1,000 times.
 
What to do:
Step 1: Just throw everything in the basket. DO NOT cut the flowers at all. Just stick it all in there and call it a day. No need for glue or floral foam.
Step 2: Throw it against the fall a few times because you don't like it.
Step 3: Let your husband do it. He'll cut the flowers and place them like so. Ta-da!

DIY Friday-Unique things to do with fresh flowers


I know it's been a while...But, I'm so excited to be back with a fresh DIY Friday. If you're new to my blog, this is where I share with you some great links around the web for unique DIY projects. In honor of spring, all of today's DIY's feature fresh flowers. A sweet do it yourself Mother's Day anyone?

  


I love recycling and upcycling DIY's. What a clever use for old lightbulbs: flower vases.

How about fresh flowers on top of cookies? So pretty. 

More recycling! Make pretty fresh flower arrangements using aluminum cans. I would spray paint them in matte pastels.

Decorate with flowers using a mix of different size, shape and colored bottles.

Finally, a beautiful fruit and flower centerpiece.
