Autumn Door Decor

This season's door decor is made from items purchased at the Dollar Tree. Add some hot glue, and you've got a striking display that welcomes cooler weather and falling leaves. Altogether, it cost about twelve dollars. Change the colors to fit your decor... or other seasons!
Fall Door Decor
~7 pkgs broom stick grass Stems (2 purple, 2 magenta, 2 orange, and 1 red)
~1 pkg gold spiral twigs- only used 1/2 the bunch, so leftovers can be used for other decor
~1 pkg gold berries (two per pkg)
~3 pieces painted fruit ornaments, string loops cut off, (I used 1 pear and 2 pomegranates)
~8 inches gold or copper ribbon
Arrange broom stick grass in an crisscross pattern. Hot glue in place and tie with ribbon. Hot glue gold berry stems in an X on top of ribbon. Arrange fruit pieces just under berries and hot glue to ribbon. Stick gold stems inside ribbon, in front of broom stick grass. 
Hang on a nail using ribbon on door, wall, mailbox... anywhere that needs a little sparkle!

(Un)Inviting Exterior Decor

Gotta get ready for the trick-or-treaters! (Actually, we only get, like, three or four trick-or-treaters each year... so the decor is really more for us and our guests!)

This year I caved and bought some of those fake pumpkins. The sad thing is, they were cheaper than the real ones, and our Texas "Fall" isn't too kind to decorative gourds. Don't worry, pumpkin farmers! We're still gonna buy some real pumpkins to carve!

I custom painted the owl door hanger (from Michael's.) It was black and didn't really show up on the door. The white "branches" are just cut from white cardstock. Just use painter's tape to adhere to the door.

The giant spiders are from Target (last year.) They held up pretty well to the elements. And to the staple gun I use to hang them. Tough critters!

The crow is from Dollar Tree... but my mom may have bought them all!

It's getting creepy around here...
