Decorative Fall Hay Bale
As I transformed my home this week into a fall scene of
yellows, oranges and reds, I learned two things. One: Leave floral arrangements
to the professionals, they now what they are doing. And two: I have absolutely
no idea how to make a beautiful bow. You know, one of those big bushy ones that
are so pretty on wreaths and bouquets? Well, whether it was a success or not, (I’ll
let you decide) I attempted to give both a try! With the help of my overly
helpful two-year old, I put together a decorative Fall Hay Bale for display
outside my front door.
First, I gathered all the necessary supplies needed to
complete the project. One mini craft hay
bale, a variety of fall colored silk flowers, some wire ribbon and a pumpkin.
Choose whatever suits your fancy! I love sunflowers so I picked a couple of
them and chose the rest of the silk flowers and colors to coordinate with the
sunflowers. I also picked up a few fall
leaf stems as well to put into the mix. While you’re at it, make sure you have
a good pair of wire clippers or floral clippers on hand because cutting through
silk flowers can be quite difficult some times.
Then it was time to get to work! While you are working with
these little craft bales, only cut off the top portion of plastic wrap where
you will be placing the floral stems. They are extremely messy and shed like
crazy!
Start by placing a few of the larger floral stems. Place in the pumpkin where you would like it and then fill in the spaces with your smaller stems. Look at my little helper there isn’t he cute!
What do you think?
Ahh…, Fall, I just love this time of year! What is your
favorite thing about fall?
