I spent a few minutes this weekend making this little garland for my porch. I just cut strips of some fabric I had and strung them on a piece of yarn. Later I'm going to turn the strips and the rest of the fabric stash into a nice big crocheted rug for the living room floor. I like that my decorations can serve another purpose later.
I also got a bale of straw and some pumpkins to complete my decoration. I figure I can use the pumpkins for soups and pie and the straw will be useful in my garden next year. It'd also be useful if I could ever talk Jake into getting chickens. I'm still working on that one. The best part is that I can be lazy about when I take the decorations down and still not be the crazy lady who leaves her Halloween stuff up too long.
How fun! I love how you can reuse everything!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you take something old and turn it into something useful again, I bet you could do wonders with my old ass, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteChristmas decorations left up too long are worse.
ReplyDeleteI love the garland! Also, the fact that you make things out of your pumpkins after you use them for decoration is totally admirable. I'm a waster and throw mine away. #shame
ReplyDeletecute garland! i was hoping to put one together in time for halloween, but no go. Can't decide whether to do a fall one now, or just skip ahead to christmas so it's actually done! :)
