FALL Book Page Banner on the Mantel

 Happy Fall ! I have been doing a little Fall decorating.. Today I am going to show you the Fall book page banner I made for my mantel..
 I cut letters out of cardstock with my cricut.. I made the letters 6 inches wide and 10 inches long. I cut each letter out 3 times.
 I hot glued the letters together and then used mod podge for the adhering of the book pages. both underneath and on top.
 I needed something for them to hang from so I cut burlap ribbon in half and hot glued to the back of the letters. I added little burlap knots at the bottom.
 I thought they needed some "bling" so I used some glitter spray I had in silver.. then I hot glued around the outside edge and sprinkled silver glitter.
  I used a piece of hardwood floor I found in the garage and glued the burlap to it so it could hang from the mantel.
 
 
 Our lighting in the family room isn't so great but they look amazing.. especially with the glitter :)
 I used sweater pumpkins that I made last year and also the Fall Subway Art ..
 I have a couple velvet pumpkins , some dried hydrangeas ( love them ) , lanterns , leave garlands
 a scarecow sign and scarecrow.
I still want to add  a couple small white sweater pumpkins so it looks like a trip to the Good Will is in order.

Yesterday my daughter and I went to a local flea market. We got a case of 12  vintage blue mason jars for $5.00 ! The big blue mason jar he charged us $1.00 for ! They are both Ball jars and Atlas jars. We split them up so we each got 6 new blue jars plus the big one :)
Still picking zinnias .. they are absolutely gorgeous !

 
Have a wonderful day , I will be back this week with more Fall decorating :)
