Fall Vinyl Vases

I love Seasonal Decor =) I was pretty bummed last year when we didn't get our apartment in time to decorate for Fall (I made up for it with an obscene amount of Christmas stuff). Now that I've discovered the endless wormhole of craft blogs out, I've really started to appreciate the scope of Seasonal Decor. I figure I've got until Thanksgiving to get my Fall-crafting- on! I saw some vinyl decorated vases at Homegoods the other day for about 10 bucks a pop. Ummmmmmm I can do that for wayyyy cheaper, because I love love LOVE my vinyl. So I took two of my Dollar Store vases that I had left over from my wedding and I took out my....yeah you guessed it.....my Cricut!


 I cut some branches out of vinyl, because branches can be Fall or Winter so the vase will get more spotlight time.
I put a little tea-light at the bottom and I LOVE it, so does Chris =)

 I went back to my Cricut and cut some spiders and webs for an adorable Halloween vase! I have a lot of vases left over from the tables at my wedding- which means I just might have vases to match every season ;)
Ah-mazing!

Well....it looked like a Pumpkin =)

I'm trying to post crafts as I finish them and a lot of them are "in the works". If it looks like I post a lot of crafts and recipes in one day, I'm just catching up on the blog =).

I feel that I should preface by saying that Chris and I {Heart} Faithfarm's thrift store. Chris likes it because, deep down, he dreams on being an "American Picker" (ya know, like the show). He likes old stuff and forgotten treasures. I like it because it's basically a "crafter's"paradise. You can get cheap frames, ceramics, glassware.....My list of places I can spend hours in = Homegoods>Michaels>Faithfarms. Anyway, I was looking through the glassware section and I found this:

Yeah I know....it looks like a pumpkin, I agree. It was also $1. I was really liking the idea of having an autumn candy dish, cue Cricut and vinyl:

Cute! It's sitting on my table waiting to be filled with candy =)
