Spruce Up an existing Wreath with StyleTechCraft Vinyl and Fall Dollar Tree finds.

I have a simple boxwood wreath* that I purchased a few years ago that I love.

The best thing about the wreath is I can leave it plain (which I do a lot of the year).

Or, I can change it with the seasons.

Hello Fall Pumpkin Wreath

Here’s how I changed my wreath for the Fall Season.

Not counting the wreath, acrylic paint, and vinyl that I had on hand,

I spent a total of $7 at Dollar Tree*  to Change Up the Wreath for Fall.

I found this cute pumpkin cut-out* at Dollar Tree* and wasn’t sure what I would do with it.

But I knew I better pick it up while I was there. (those things seem to sell out real fast)

It turned out to be the perfect accent for my Hello Fall Pumpkin Wreath.

Directions:

• Lightly sand the pumpkin with the sanding block* to smooth out the grains in the wood.  Wipe away dust.
• Paint the pumpkin with Jack-O’-Lantern Orange* acrylic paint.  Give the pumpkin highlights using Orange Twist* and Marigold* acrylic paint.  Paint the top of the stem with brown acrylic paint.
• Using an SVG File (from the Silhouette Store) and my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, cut out the words “hello fall” out of StyleTechCraft orange and red glossy craft vinyl.

Hello Fall SVG Image is available at The Silhouette Design Store.

• Place the words onto the pumpkin using transfer tape*.
• Rub over the words with a vinyl scraper tool to make sure “the words” have transferred.

• To make the Dollar Tree Mini Pumpkin Clips* match the painted wood pumpkin, I decided to paint them using the same acrylic paint colors.
• Remove the stem and the metal clip from the pumpkin.
• Because the mini pumpkins have a slick surface, I needed to prime the pumpkins with multi-media paint first.
• For ease of painting, place a bamboo skewer* in the mini pumpkin. Paint with multi-media paint. After the paint has dried, paint with the same colors used on the wood pumpkin.
• Reinsert the stem. Glue the clip in place using the glue gun*.

• Dollar Tree Mini Pumpkin Clips* Before and After.

• Cut apart the Fall Floral Pick and glue the pieces onto the bottom of the pumpkin using a Xyron Multi-Stick Glue Gun*.

• Create a simple bow using Ribbon and Twine and glue it onto the pumpkin.

• Tie the finished pumpkin to the top of the wreath with twine.
• Clip-on Mini Pumpkin Clips and insert fall picks.

Fall Crafting with Vinyl…

If you don’t need a new wreath, the finished pumpkin would also look great in a Fall Display.

Hello Fall Mini Candle Cup

I found this cute little ceramic cup on a recent trip to Hobby Lobby.

As adorable as it was, it looks even better with StyleTechCraft Vinyl on it.

In my opinion, adding a little vinyl makes most things a little better.

At first, I thought about saving the mini cup for my grandsons. 

I knew they’d get a kick out of the tiny cup.

Who wouldn’t love a mini cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows?

Then I figured I’d spend too much time constantly refilling it.

So I thought again. (sometimes, you got to think these things through)
