THRIFTED THURSDAY | DIY GARDEN SCARECROWS
09/14/2023
We have a new addition to the garden scarecrow family. Joining Lady Scarecrow from last year is Mr. Jack Crow. Both are outfitted with thrifted clothing and looking dapper adorning the garden beds. Jack Crow is a small fellow wearing a button-up shirt and 29×30 jeans held up by a rope belt. Lady Scarecrow is a petite thing wearing her same outfit from last year which held up great in the weather. We used scrap 1″x2″ boards screwed together to make our scarecrows in the general dimensions shown below. Cut a “V” on the bottom of the stake to make it easier to stick in the ground. Be sure not to make the arms too long so the shirt won’t fit over the form. (Learned that the hard way.) I stapled the clothes to the form and stapled on a few bunches of raffia for hair and hands.

DOLLAR TREE LIGHT-UP WITCH + CAULDRON DIY
09/11/2023
This project was inspired by my large outdoor light-up witch silhouette. This is a much smaller version. I started with an MDF Halloween cut-out from Dollar Tree. I spray painted the front and sides black. Using Gorilla glue dots, I attached battery-operated orange fairy lights to the back. Set the lights to blink, strobe or solid orange at night for a fun Halloween ambiance.

DIY TWIG FLOWER VASE
09/06/2023
It was very windy yesterday which means the front yard is now full of fallen branches needing to be picked up. Before tossing them in the brush pile, I put a few limbs to good use for a fun DIY. The only supplies needed are a glass jar (I used an old pickle jar), twigs and hot glue. Simply cut the twigs roughly to the length of the jar and hot glue as closely as possible around the jar. If the twigs are too long, cut them off to desired length using garden pruners. So cute and a fun way to recycle materials. I filled it with flowers from my garden to brighten up the outdoor table. While I was at it, I put a few more tree limbs into another vase for a fun outdoor centerpiece. There’s no reason you can’t have cute table centerpieces both inside and...
