Up-Cycled Holiday Decor

We have had a nagging box of cut-off fence posts, from our fence project last year, sitting in our garage for a year now. Greg has been having a meltdown on getting rid of them the entire time. But I refused to let him, I saw a lot of potential crafts in there. It just took a bit for me to get to it. But we finally have! Two seasons are now taken care of: Fall & Winter.

Pumpkins

We found a mix of 3 sizes to make a set. The 'pumpkin' orange was just a bit too orange, so we tinted it down with some brown. Then found a branch in the yard & sawed of stems for each pumpkin & tied a set together with some jute.

Snowmen

For the snowmen, I grabbed a random pack of socks at the store for the hats and just started. The tallest posts we had left were paired up to make a couple. We stretched the socks to the max to cover the top of the posts & then cut the tops to add the tassels. The scarf is fleece & the rest is all paint.
