I drew out the tree trunk and then got to gluing. You'll probably notice I yanked off one of the falling leaves, seemed like a little much so it had to go. It's one of my favorite fall projects yet.

Thrifty Seasonal Decor: Part 2, Fall
The other day browsing around on my favorites list, I saw this awesome idea at Oops, I Craft My Pants, and immediately swiped the idea! I too made the trip to Home Depot and smuggled out a handful of paint chips in fall colors. The best part about this project is that it was FREE! Well almost, I did have to get a new Sharpie for the tree trunk, but other than that...paint chips-Free, and MDF-Free (sitting in my garage from a headboard).

ReplyDeleteHad to make my own. Thanks for posting the idea. Unfortunatly I had to cut my leaves, I so wish our Home Depot had those samples but they get different ones. :( Still didn't stop me.
