Free craft materials?!

Hey people who come across my blog and are now interested in what I have to say :) I have a great little paragraph that is about some tips and tricks that helped me get inspired to do what I do. I Made all of the pictures below for FREE. YES! it is not tough at all! These are my favorite crafts to do, because I am a total cheapo and do everything for as little as possible! Ok so all of the jars I got from canned goods, or jars that food I got in the store from. The jar with the sticks had a candle in it, the Mason jars had fruit in them, and the little jar with the twine (that my grandma had laying around) I got from pesto I bought. I just took some sticks from my family farm and put them in the freezer over night so the bugs could die or at least know they were not welcome! I hot glued the sticks on, hot glued the twin around the little jar, and added some fall flowers my grandma also had and was going to throw away. Simple, pretty and clean. They are also so easy to strip the fall décor from and turn into Christmas or any other holiday!

My last picture is of a door hanger I made last fall, and I was super impressed with myself. I honestly did not thing it would turn out this pretty! I used a old 8x10 picture frame (no glass obv.) and twisted some twine around the hay and hot glued it to the back of the frame so no one would see the structural part of my creation. Added some pine cones I found at the park and some other fall like objects I had from my grandmas leftovers and ta-da! Everyone who saw it loved it and was super impressed I made it from nothing! F.Y.I even though I was lucky that my grandma had flowers she didn't want, I have spend 4-5$ at the dollar tree to buy flowers for other project and you get a decent amount of flowers for that 4-5 $. But I suggest looking at what you can use outside or on old floral arrangements that might be in the attic. If your dangerous enough you might even think about adding some more vibrant color to them with acrylic paint. ;)

That's all I have for now for fall. I know its still summer but get your butts going on your home fall décor so its ready to rock and look awesome! Remember look me up on Facebook @ Upcycling Professionals, Email is UpcyclingProfessionals@gmail.com and I signed up for Twitter @ UpcyclingPro!
