A Handmade Thanksgiving: A {simple} DIY fall display

November 9, 2010
by colourherhope

This DIY projects costs close to nothing and it is so simple too!

Supplies needed:

Spray paint- you can use whatever colour you want, we just happened to have a brown. I think red would be super pretty and it would be easy to transform it from a fall display to a Christmas one!-

a branch – from the outdoors

newspaper -or something to paint on

hurrican vase- $1 from Dollar Tree (or you can use a vase you already have)

dry beans - check pantry first

one or more leaves- optional

How to DIY:

Spray paint the branch.  Place branch in vase, pour dry beans in (however much you want). Put leaf in (optional).

Then stand back and admire :)

(In case you didn’t see the post about these free printables that I’ve framed, go here to get them for yourself!)

As I was taking some of these photos, the little guy was snacking and I turned to see him doing this (because I had the camera);

Little cheese. So very thankful for him.

Hope you’re inspired to create!
