Fall's Almost Up {and Leaf Banner}

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I had planned, but I decided not to sweat it.
I still have time!

I did, however, visit the husband's garage for a supply shop.
Seriously... there is a ton of useful stuff to reuse or repurpose. I love it. He hates it. He claims I don't ever put anything back. Hmph.

I found some wire... for the purpose of this post, I am going to call it landscaping wire.
The landscapers brought it over when they were going to stake my trees. It's the wire that is used to attach the stakes. It's easily bendable. I thought it would make a great banner.

It was an ugly silver color... okay, not exactly ugly, but just not the look I was going for. So I wrapped it in a cream colored yarn. Then I attached some leaves I found at Hobby Lobby. They are made of crepe paper; I love the colors. Their stems are made of wire, too... So it was super easy to attach them and then adjust everything.

The wire, we had on hand. The yarn we had on hand. The leaves cost $4.99 at Hobby Lobby. Cheap, but cute. ;) Gotta love those kind of projects.

Here is a glimpse of Fall at our house:
