Fall Broomstick

Hi there! Yesterday, while at the grocery store, I spotted a Fall Broomstick in the floral section of Safeway. I thought it was a cute idea for fall. So, I gathered my supplies and headed home to make one.
If you have a Safeway close by, you can pick up several different styles of leaves and dried ones, too! This is what I picked up!
 I got two different colors of ribbon, I love the silk ribbon, burlap would be another great idea, too!
 There are different aromatic broomsticks to choose from, I got the Pumpkin Cinnamon, it smells soooooo good!
You can use a hot glue gun, but I decided to use some garden wire instead, easy!
 Just tie your bundle of leaves together using the garden wire and finish off the look by tying your silk ribbon over the garden wire to conceal it. 
I double tied my bows.
 Isn’t it a cute idea for Fall? Thank you Safeway! 😉  Of course, if you do not have a Safeway in your area, you can find these items at any craft store.
 I love the pop of color against the dark broomstick.
I may make another broomstick and hang two on my double French doors.
Well, I hope you like this idea, the creativity is endless.  If you make one, I would love to see it!
Thanks for visiting! xo, Liz

Spring Chandelier

Hi there, today I would like to share my funky – spring chandelier!
I went to Hobby Lobby this morning and picked up this grapevine wreath for $5.99 and some bendable floral wire.
 I cut the wire so I could wrap it around the wreath, and so I could twist and hang it from my dining room chandelier. 
 I wrapped the wire around each light fixture. 
This is how it looked when I was done. Yes, the wire is showing, but once I’m finished sticking the floral picks into the grapevine, you won’t even see it, it will blend.
I got four of these at 50% off.
I also got 5 of these at 50% off, too!
I then began to stick the ends of the greenery into the grapevine, and then I fluffed the greenery up to make it look full.
 After I got the first layer done, I started to add the other ones on top.
I kept adding pieces until I got the fullness I desired.
Nice and full.
The chandelier is not exactly my stye, so adding greenery made it more “me”…. It’s definitely a conversation piece and focal point now.
I hung this spring wreath on my arched gate, which is above my hutch in this room.

It’s different, right?
So, there you have it – a different way to spruce up your chandelier for Spring.  I may add some little white/yellow flowers in amongst the greenery. Skies the limit, right?
Thanks for stopping by!
