Fall Front Porch Decorations

Happy Fall Y'all

I promised I'd show off my front porch decorating I did this week so here ya go.

I had such a fun time with this hay bale.  I've never really decorated my porch before (because it's tiny) but have always wanted to and I think it turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.

Here's a list of what I used:

1 large hay bale - from Michael's regularly $19.99 clearenced for $4.99 STEAL

1 Scarecrow on a dowel - from Michael's 

2 large (and I mean like 3 feet high, found in the regular floral not the holiday) leaf picks - from Michael's

2 small fall leaf picks - from Michael's 

2 small fall picks - from Michael's

3 Baby pumpkins - from Target

1 Ribbon bow I made from ribbon I buy at Costco

Here is the assembly process in color

I started by unwrapping the plastic from the hay bale and cutting the dowel on the scarecrow to the right length.

Next, I trimmed and arranged the two large leaf picks so they covered most of the hay bale. Next came the smaller leaf picks and I just stuck them in where they were needed and fluffed them.

 

Here are the cute small picks I used and I also just kind of stuck them in and fluffed them.

Next I tied a large bow around the hay bale and added three mini pumpkins in the corner.

 

This whole project was less than $20.00 and took me about 45 minutes start to finish.

I love how it turned out and will definitely make one again next year.

What homemade decorations have you made for Fall this year?

Enjoy!
