Autumn Inspo. [picture heavy]

 

Since I’m moving into a new place next week, it’s the perfect time to get my head on straight for autumn decor. The first year I was married, being silly, I bought the fake leaf garland from Target for fall. Yes, I did it and I’ll admit it ashamedly (no offense to those of you that use it and love it.). However, this year I really want my decorations to be more personal and traditional, especially knowing that Jake would love to help me make some garland HA.  So i will definitely be making lovely long strands for the house. With that being said, here are some garlands that I love. It’s a fight between felt and paper!!

This one might look cute in fall colors. and it would be extremely cheap. ;]

 

Here is some more fall inspo that I fell fond of.

ok so this isn’t very autumn-like, but I made some last year as decor for Christmas

and I think they would be equally as cute in fall colors. agreed?

and they are really fun and easy to make. that’s always a plus.

I was thinking I could use the leftover burlap from the tea party

to make these leaf trivet/placemats. maybe?
