DIY: Spruce up your Pumpkin

Hey everyone! I hope that you all are having a great day so far. It's Anna here, and today, I am sharing a little inspiration to take that pumpkin of yours to the next level. I love Fall, and I am always looking for fun ways to decorate around the house in good taste. I hope this quick fix fits the bill.

I bought a couple of small pumpkins to paint and got out my collection of acrylic and spray paints. There were no rules… I just did whatever I wanted. 

One had a touch of white paint on top. One was spray painted gold. The other was painted with black stripes (taped with painters tape first). 

You could paint a chevron pattern, polka dots, etc. Get creative! There are no rules.

DIY: How To Dye Jeans

Happy Monday!!  It's Anna here, How's everyone?? Today I'm sharing a little Rit dye DIY. If you've never used it before, don't worry... this was my very 1st time working with it, and it wasn't difficult. I am loving all things maroon for Fall, so I felt it appropriate to pick their lovely burgundy color called "wine." 

With my dye, a bucket and a pair of pants in hand, I got to work. This is easy people. I'm telling you...

Following the directions on the container of dye, add the appropriate amount of dye to water.

Submerge.

Wearing a glove (or in my case a plastic bag) rotate and mix the contents of the bucket. 

After 30 - 60 minutes of soaking in dye, rinse thoroughly.

Now, here I let the pants dry and then did a 2nd round of dye to get the rich burgundy color that I was going for.

Done. They are the perfect Fall skinnies. I think you need a pair too.
