So I found a couple screens on the local Facebook swap shop and got them both for $15.
Now I have yet to finish the 2nd....its in the works to be a winter snowman scene so I will post photos when It's finished!
Until then....my harvest pumpkin decor!
I started out by taping off the screen and spray painted the trim and middle section black with just your basic black spray paint I'm pretty sure it was the cheapest kind Walmart sells (I may have confiscated it from my husbands stock pile 😉.
Then I used acrylic paint and the cheap sponge type brushed and started painting away, I used a few different colors or orange and just blended together until I thought they looked right and then added the rest of the detail work.
My goal with the middle is to put a pretty ribbon and bow through the screen, that will get done before I put it out this year.
I'm not crazy about how the "fall" writing came out but for my first time it will do.
I got the crate from the same guy the screens came from (he's kept me in business for many more projects to come! Much to my husbands dismay😉).
I got the cat at a local gift shop called the "Harvest Barn" last year after Christmas for a couple dollars.
The larger bail of hay came from Walmart and the smaller ones came from a young kid here and town that was making them for a little extra money.
And last but not least I got the pumpkins and corn from a pumpkin patch when my husband, parents, and I went on a farm crawl.
All in all I thing it turned out great!
If you have any input or ideas on how I could decorate it this year leave them in the comments.
