Antique Window Fall Decor

It is still really hot here but Fall is trying to come.  So I am encouraging it with an update to my antique window decor and getting it ready for fall.

Leaves
I bought the leaves in little packages of multiple leaves for .99 at Michaels.  I then simply "sewed" them together.  I took a needle and thread and ran the string through the top and bottom of the leaf and then took it to the next leaf.

I went through the top and bottom to help the leaf not twist the wrong direction.

I then just tapped the strings to the back of the window.

Fall Words

For the fall words, I used some blank wood tags and mod podged some scrapbook paper to each tag.

I used the tag as a template to cut the paper.

I used to my Silhouette to cut out the letters for fall.

I then poked a hole through the paper where the hole in the tags are with some scissors, I always poke from the front to the back so the extra paper sticks out the back.

Then I added one more layer on mod podge on top to give it a nice gloss.

Then I used some string and hung each letter, each string getting progressively longer, once again I just taped the strings to the back of the frame.

And for one final touch, I added a little garland of leaves, that I got at the dollar store to the bottom corner of the frame

Which nicely completed my- please come fall weather- antique window decor

Have you decorated for the fall yet?
