16. Twinkling Twigs Luminaries
I was on a long walk on a brisk Autumn day, thinking of how I should decorate my house for Autumn and for the up and coming Thanksgiving holiday. I remembered this ingenious DIY lantern idea involving twigs. My Fall decorating could have never been easier, I gathered twigs and rushed home. I had some really plain glass candle holders, so I got out my trusty glue gun and went to town. I was shocked at how amazing they looked, my husband came home and thought I had been at Pottery Barn again. Quite a compliment, this craft project is a must for Fall.
17. DIY Twine Lanterns
Balls of festive light this Fall holiday season is all the rage. I wanted something durable for my back patio that could easily transition into Christmas decor in December. This idea seemed to fill all needs and I thought it would look lovely in Spring and Summer as well. I used a really strong hemp twine to withstand the elements and some Elmer’s Glue and cornstarch for stiffening and wrapped the light strings inside and out. Two of my friends have used the idea for their porches. I think I’ve started a trend.

If you love wire sculpture as much as I do then this wreath is something you have to try. It has a cool, sleek minimalist look that looks difficult and expensive, but it’s cheap and very simple to make.

My guests were screaming with joy as they approached my door for our annual Thanksgiving celebration.
