It happened to be my 6th wedding anniversary this weekend, and my husband brought me a wonderful basket of mums as an anniversary surprise. I loved them because I had wanted to bring a little fall to my front porch.
Here they are straight in the planter from the garden store. Not bad, but I had five minutes to kill before we left for our date, so I decided to make it look not so straight-from-the-store.I just took some leftover yummy fall-like brown ribbon and got my glue gun and went to work!
I made sure I started in the back of the planter, where the wood strip meets. 
Finished product! Not bad for free and 5 minutes!Tomorrow I'm going to post my first giveaway! I have been totally inspired by a few giveaways on some awesome sites, that I thought I would try and share the love. So....check back tomorrow for details on how to enter to win your own set of chalkboard labels! Perfect as the holiday gift-giving season (yeah, I just went there) is just around the corner!
P.S. The movie quote above is from a total classic (in my opinion), "Office Space".
I just realized I don't even own a glue gun! How sad. Your planter looks great. The ribbon really adds some elegance to it.
ReplyDeleteI have the hardest time gluing satin ribbon with my hot glue gun, it always turns out so lumpy.. would you share your secret??
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much you're able to accomplish in a day!
