Last week I showed you the wreath I made, with out having to buy a single thing. Today I wanted to share a bit more of my fall decor on a budget.

You know when you walk into a house and the first thing you see is this lovely mantle, perfectly decorated? Well, that’s not my house. I don’t even have a mantle. 🙁 I know, I know, pity me please!!! 🙂

However, I do have a really awesome bookcase. And in the few spots that I haven’t put books, I like to stick a little decor.

Fall decor on a budget take one.

The Indian corn, candle holder.

I love how simple and sweet these candle holders are. I used old jelly jars, orange fabric scraps, shelled Indian corn and Gold taper candles.

The candles, fabric and jars were things that I already had.

What you don’t see, is the fact that I sewed them three different ways before I was happy with how they looked. *sigh* Only I would make a simple project complicated!

Not to hateful, really. 🙂  I just lifted the top shelf up and slipped part of the garland under it.  On a side note, do I need more books? My shelves could hold a few more, right?

Up close of the ends. The way I have the books stacked, make this photo look a little wacky!

Any way… That’s about the extent of my abilities to decorate the bookcase. I have a project I’m working on for my side table. But you will only see that if I can turn a goof to gorgeous. I mean, hello!? do you think I would show a project that didn’t turn out? 😉

    I love that garland and thanks for the links to the pinterest page. I had not idea there were so many ways to make a garland. I made one last month http://www.arosiesweethome.com/2012/09/vintage-book-page-leaf-garland-fall.html
    It was sooo time consuming but I love how it tuned out. The book shelf is awesome too! Did your husband make it?

      I actually had to really think about how I was going to do it 🙂
      And you are so sweet to nominate me, however I decided some time ago that I wasn’t going to be able to accept blog awards. Thank you for your thoughts though.

    Hello Kendra, I think you have rats.
    We have five and they love corn, specially fresh one.
