Autum wreath


...finally I decided to make a fall wreath...and after seeing a gazillion of them in my newest obsession (pinterest) I got busy this past weekend.
Total cost: about $5. I already had the wreath. I just bought some brown burlap and after cutting some stripes, started to wrap the wreath...

...that was the most boring part, plus the glue gun and I have a "love-hate" relationship, so I got a few burns...
...and after that, the fun part! I used stuff that I bought at the dollar store to decorate it...
something tells me that this will not be the last one I make!

"better than nothing...."

...those were literally the words that came out of Mike's mouth when I asked him if he liked the new doily banner that I made for our bedroom...
so encouraging, huh?...hehe..I still love him...the best part is that it was only $1!....I bought the paper doilies at the dollar store and I used some cute twine that I had from Diego's b-day decorations from last year. I only folded them, stapled the bottom of each doily so they wouldn't open, and voila! done!
....I think is cute...
...oh ans I also spray painted a ceiling fan that Mike's parents donated to us!...it was brown (a pretty ugly brown) and now is cute and white to match the bedroom!...I'm in love with spray paint!..
