Easy Fall Decorating

by Julie Nichols, September 06, 2015
                                                                    Hey there friends! 
                           Summer is rapidly slipping away and I have fall decorating on my mind.  

Using SCRABBLE letters is a fun way to add personality to your decor and it's super easy to do.

SHOP AMAZON SCRABBLE BOARD GAMES

 I pulled out the old SCRABBLE game and used the letters to decorate a cozy fall vignette.


I added plush pumpkins, a tiny mum, and a dried hydrangea to the vignette.  The pumpkins are handcrafted by me. The one on the right has a driftwood stem and is my newest creation.  The small guy on the left I made last year.   You can read the tutorial here.

For the mum, I made a skirt using burlap and crochet ribbon.  I just wrapped the ribbon around the plastic container, gave it a dab of hot glue, and added SCRABBLE letters to the top.


oops I put the N upside down



Yup that N is upside down!   
Of course, I noticed my mistake while writing this post. 


  


I love using nature to decorate with!


 The raw wood of the SCRABBLE  letters adds an organic feel to the vignette

  19. I love using Scrabble letters for decorating. I've made some Christmas ornaments with them, but haven't used them this way. It all looks lovely and the white pumpkins are perfect with the wood. Thanks for sharing on Snickerdoodle Sunday. Pinned to my autumn decor board.

  21. Very sweet vignette! I found an old Scrabble game a little bit ago. It's perfect to change up the words. It's my Mom's favourite game so it's kinda nostalgic for me as well. Love your pumpkins too!

  24. I agree, Scrabble letters do add personality to our decorating. I've got a couple of sacks of them but have never gotten around to spelling anything for decorating purposes--gotta get on that! Thanks so much for linking up at Vintage Charm :)
