Burlap Sunflowers and Wee White Pumpkins

I am trying to improve my attitude about Fall. It just is my least favorite season..but you know, if you can't beat 'em join 'em. So I don't see Fall going away anytime soon so I am trying to embrace it.

My first attempt in decorating for Fall is that I made some burlap sunflowers.

 

I had seen these on pinterest and I really think they are just what I needed to keep with my white and neutral Fall theme.

I think they work perfectly.

 So just in case you want to make some yourself here is what I did.

I bought a small bunch of sunflowers from Dollar Tree! There were 5 on the bunch for $1.

   

I cut them apart, and then took them apart.

I pinned the flowers to a piece of burlap and cut them out.

I put them back together...and ta-da!

I stuffed my table box full of kraft paper filling (also from Dollar tree) and wee little white pumpkins that I finally found after looking at literally every grocery store in our area. Love these wee little pumpkins--but this year for some reason they were so hard to find! Next year I am going to ask my husband to grow me some.

I am pleased with how it turned out.

Maybe I can learn to like Fall decorating.

I picked what I think is my very last fresh cut flower of 2013.

I will so miss fresh flowers in the house!

I hope this finds everyone enjoying all the season has to offer.

Thanks for visiting!
