I had a bunch of dye spattered paper towel left over from letting my zombie journal blocks dry so it seemed like a perfect time to make a fall-themed paper towel wreath. Yay!
Isn't it pretty :-)
I'm crazy about orange and wanted to make something that was fall, but not to theme-y. In my opinion, decor that compliments the season, but isn't tied to it is just about right.
If you haven't seen my tutorial on how to make one you can find it at the top of my right side bar
Just click on the picture
---------------------->
My favorite part of this wreath is that when I spritzed the dye onto the paper towel lightly it brought out the pattern on the opposite side. Once scrunched and abused a bit, the pattern projects a neat polka dot vibe. Cool-beans.
If anyone wants to make one, here's a link to the tutorial:
Do you go all out decorating for holidays? Do you add a few seasonal touches or ignore the fussing all together?
Me? I tend to vacillate between the last two - oh the shame of it.

I spray in a spray box with sheets of glossy cardstock (I bought a damaged ream from a local print shop) ... I am so going to start using paper towels instead ... love this.
Love this! Orange is my favorite color and these oranges are just wonderful. As for decorating, I tend to switch out the front door/mailbox decor to fit the season. Inside I usually decorate by color and change it up every other month or so- except for Halloween and Christmas. I have boxes of special decor for these holidays.
Gorgeous!! And I spotted one of the crochet flowers I sent you-- great to see them being used!! :)
