Here is a simple door sign I made for Autumn. The circle is 18" from Michaels, and I used my glowforge to cut the letters onto black painted wood, and engrave/cut the wood for the bottom. Then, I wired some Eucalyptus at the top. So simple and gorgeous!
My friend group wanted to make wooden dough bowl candles for fall, so I got together some ingredients and we made a fun night of making candles and simmer-pot potpourri sachets.
First, I laid out all of the ingredients: nutmeg (whole nuts, not the powder), mini orange putka pods, green cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, dried apple slices, whole allspice berries, lemon peel, star anise (whole pods), dried oranges, dried rosemary sprigs, whole bay leaves, whole cloves, as well as the muslin bags, wooden bowls, and fragrance oils.
We heated up the wax and set up our candles. Our bowls held about 12 oz. of wax, and we put three wicks in each. While the candles were cooling, after about 15 minutes, we added the top decorations.
This is a simple and fun activity with not a lot of prep, aside from purchasing the items, and cleanup takes hardly no time at all!
A coworker is hosting a paint party and asked if I would design wooden door signs for her friend group. I used Adobe Illustrator to design my pattern and cut out the pieces on MDF with my glowforge. I included everything needed, from the 15/18" rounds to the paintbrushes, and made a couple inspirations to show some ideas. They are so cute!
I was playing around with some glass bits and made these cute little fall leaves. I like them a lot! I'd like to keep experimenting to see what I can come up with. I used a rough mockup of a leaf clipart I found online (imagine me holding a piece of paper up to my laptop screen and tracing with a pencil to get the shape of a leaf.)
