Monthly Craft Challenge - Fall

I am finally participating in one of Heidi's Craft Challenges. This month's theme is Fall crafting. I was excited to create something to add to my Fall decorations. I got my idea from Katie (here) who got it from here. I didn't do exactly what they did but I used the basic principle.

I bought this...what I thought was chip board and it was kind of like chip board but with a more rubbery texture, not as stiff as chip board. Hard to explain. It served its purpose.

Then I took some coordinating paper and cut out pieces to fit the "chip board."

I used Mod Podge (man, this stuff is great) and glued the paper to the "chip board."

I cut out letter to spell FALL using my Cricut and glued them on top of the paper. Then I sealed it with more Mod Podge. The hardest thing about using Mod Podge is waiting for it to dry.

I added some embellishments and then tied the pieces together with ribbon.

I tied ribbon on the top and hung it on my mantel. Our mantel is made of wood so I just used tacks to hang it. (please excuse the glare)

So, there you have it...my first craft challenge product. To see more go to Heidi's blog.
