The formal dining room

Almost set for thanksgiving! Just needs the table setting!


Front door

This is what the front door looks like with the garland and wreath, with some scarecrows from Walmart.

Burlap garland

This time, I did not skip every other tie. I think I like how it turned out better than the first one.

Thanksgiving deco mesh garland

My first attempt at making a deco mesh garland...used a dollar store 9-feet garland, pipe cleaners, brown 21-inch deco mesh, orange 8-inch deco mesh, 6-inch burlap, 2-inch wired ribbon, a few thanksgiving sprays. I followed one instruction on Pinterest that said to skip every other tie. I don't think I'll do this on my next garland. Didn't quite like how the garland turned out. The "poofs" looked uneven.

Burlap and deco mesh wreath

Made using 24-inch work wreath, burlap, deco mesh, wired ribbon and some scarecrows and thanksgiving sprays. I ended up using a lot more material than I had anticipated, but I like the overall result.


Deco mesh wreath

My second attempt at making deco mesh wreath...

Made with 18-inch work wreath, 8-inch deco mesh (brown and orange), 2-inch wired fall ribbon, and some thanksgiving swags.





Living room mantle

The garland is made from left over burlap from the thanksgiving wreath and dollar store felt picks (3 in a pack) and dollar store brown table cover.
