Gorgeous Fall Table Decor

Fall is right around the corner and before you know it the leaves will turn colors and everything will look just amazingly beautiful
So maybe if we create some gorgeous looking Fall Centerpieces
it will hurry up and get here quicker :)

Just perfect for someone that doesn't really like huge elaborate "Flower Power" arrangements but still would love some kind of table decor. 

Well and if you ask me I think "Less is More" anyway and of course as always it is very easy to make :)

One single decor piece requires the following items:  

• Two 8" x 10" clear acrylic sheets. If you prefer a three-piece grouping you need six acrylic sheets. You can find those in your local hardware store i.e. Lowe's, Home Depot etc. (glass cutting area)
  
• Leaves... a bunch of pretty color full leaves (Michael's)
  
• Simple glass cups (one per setting)
  
• Small candles - simple or not it's your choice

Next lay one or two or three acrylic sheets -depending on how many you are making, on your table

Place the flattened leaves and or petals on top

Then cover the leaves and or petals with the remaining acrylic sheets

Place the small candles in glass candle holders on top of the acrylic sheets

and guess what ..... 

Voila all done 

Nothing but Pennies...

for your thoughts... 

                                 and your floor!

I would think that you have to be about as floored as I am....

Well, I came across this awesome cool idea today... 

and I couldn't help but share it with all my fellow "Home Deco Groupies"... 

Because this idea right here is way way cooler then collecting boatloads of 

Copper Pennies in big Jars & Cups all over the house... 

Now from what I understand there have been some questions and or doubts about if using "Pennies" for your flooring could be illegal... 

so I searched for info but the "Magic Google Ball" didn't really tell me anything... So I say... why the heck not!!! 

Plus - here is a "Penny for your thought" - this "flooring idea" will cost you around $2.50 - $3.50 per square foot and for that reason alone it has to go on your 

"DIY" Project list...

... as one cheap yet very clever custom flooring solution which in the end will undeniable make one luxurious statement considering that Pennies are more less one rather useless part of our American currency... 

which means we actually are giving our "Pretty Penny" a brand new "face value"

 

Well if this isn't worth something...

then I don't know what is

***** 

All you have to do is gather those forever dust collecting little "Piggy Banks"  find out from your local Home Improvement Store what kind of under lament you will need for your Copper Penny Project as well as what type of Clear Resin will work best...

How about giving the "Old Shady" one...

                          a brand spanking "New Look"

I am sure somewhere in your attic or basement you got one of those old and ugly lamps stashed away... and that poor ugly lamp is just waiting for you to find it so you can bring it back to live with a little paint and some beautiful fabric...

*****

All you need is.... 

• That "Old Shady Lamp"
• Your favorite Printed Cotton Fabric
• Spray Glue for Fabric
• Black Satin Paint
• Velvet Ribbon 
• Double-Sided Tape  
• Ruler, Fabric Marker, Scissors, Paint Brush, Clothespins  
• Sandpaper (for Metal)  

 >>>>><<<<<

Dress her up...

Place the fabric face down on a table... 
then take the lamp shade using your ruler as guide make several marks where the fabric needs to be cut in order to fit the lamp shade - cut the fabric to size...

Make it stick...

Next... apply your spray glue to the back of your fabric... wait a few seconds, then press the fabric firmly around the shade -
take the clothespins and temporarily secure the fabric to the shade.
Now take the double sided tape and apply it to the back of the velvet ribbon... place the ribbon to the top and bottom edge of the shade...

From Color to finish...

Take the sandpaper and slightly sand down the base of your lamp...
next apply two coats of the black sating paint... let everything dry

Voila... All done
