Perler beads fall leaves

These are quick, easy and cheap Fall & Halloween decorating ideas for your front yard or outdoor space. You don't need to spend a lot of money on... | By Glue Guns & Roses | Hey, it's Megan. Welcome back to the channel my friend. In this video, I'm sharing quick and easy fall and Halloween outdoor decorating ideas. This idea was something I'm so happy that it actually turned out right and I think you're going to love it too. My motto was go big or go home and I don't think I had to go home. Just grab three hula hoops. Take your first hula hoop and link that together with your second hula hoop using some zip ties. Then, take your third hula hoop and place that on of the first two and just use two more zip ties to secure that in place then you just want to paint your pumpkin because we're making a pumpkin whatever color you think pumpkins should be I think mine should be rustic orange so that's the paint color I used now when I first started this DIY I had no idea what I was going to use for the stem of the pumpkin I was thinking in my mind maybe I should cut down some twigs I knew for a fact I didn't want to spend any extra money and I decided and I I really love how this turned out to use the bottom of some solar lights. A few months ago, I did a huge video solar light hack so I had a bunch of these left over. The tubes are the perfect size, the same thickness as the hula hoop, it looks great but you can use whatever you have on hand. You don't need to spend any extra money either. After you attach your stem, you're pretty much done. All you have to do is display it. You can hang it over a fence or if you have a super huge door, you could use it as a wreath. I displayed mine in my yard using a Dollar Tree's Garden Hub and I did have to use a zip tie to secure it to the hook so it wouldn't fly away if it got windy. Optional, add a bow and that is it. I've received the best compliment a DIYer can get on this DIY which is where did you get it? How much did it cost? I've had neighbors ask me that and y'all know as a DIYer, it feels so good to have someone think you bought something instead of made it yourself. Especially when it's Dollar Tree. This next idea is just more of a tip. I decorate with real and fake pumpkins. I love foam fake pumpkins but they blow away so easily in the wind and if you want to secure them so you can still decorate with foam pumpkins outdoors and reuse the same pumpkins over and over and over again every year just grab some Dollar Tree barbecue skewers stab them into your ground or in my case my hay bells and then stab them into your pumpkin ta the they're not going anywhere and here's another really quick tip for you so pick up some of these solid black MDF boards from Dollar Tree these work just like chalkboards. Glue them to a stake. You could even use a Dollar Tree broom if you wanted to. And here's why we made this. Now every year. Now I love to hand out candy. I hand out all kinds of candy. Sometimes I ran out early and even if I turn my lights off I've posted notes to my front door that says sorry we're out of candy. Kids are super excited. They're not reading whatever you tape to your door. Put something directly in front of your door that says sorry we're out of can or we'll be back at 6 PM. We have good candy. We do have good candy. I want all the trick or treaters I can get. I think it's a great little tip. Works way better than my post-it note to my door sign I've used in past years. Now here's another really cool and quick idea that works for Halloween or Christmas really. Grab some place mats. Paint them whatever color your heart desires. I painted mine orange because we're making a jack-o-lantern. Then just take some fabric. You can use felt. I used Dollar Tree's faux leather because I just had that on hand but felt would work just the same or you could paint on a Jack-o-lantern face. Glue your two placemats together. But do not glue them all the way around. Make sure you do leave a space at the bottom so you can take a dowel rod or a Dollar Tree broomstick to shove that in and glue that as well. We're making a sucker Halloween fall version and this turns out really cool. I actually made a second one that I think maybe even cooler. I don't know. You have to let me know what you think. Then just take some clear wrap. Wrap that over. Cut that down to a few inches below the head of your sucker. So the head of the jack-o-lantern and use some clear tape to kind of pull all the excess in the back. Tied off with a zip tie. You could even use tape here. It really doesn't matter and then optional out of bow. Now I made a second sucker where I painted my place matte black and instead of doing a jack-o-lantern face, I used the Dollar Tree mesh tubing to make a swirl effect. It's three D. It was super easy to glue down because the placemats already have a swirl pattern on them so I could just follow that and I really love the way this one turned out way better than the jack-o-lantern actually. The candy-like swirl turned out better in my mind and I already have ideas for Christmas for this one. If you pick up one of Dollar Tree's trash cans or you can use any planter that you already have on hand and then paint that whatever color your heart desires. Once again, my heart desires rustic orange by Rustole. It's the same paint color I've used for this entire video. So, if you're wondering what paint color I used, it's rustic orange. Then, grab some witches feet also from the Old DT and cut those away from the ring. Now, you see how limp those feet are. Just go ahead and stuff them up with some pool noodles or plastic wrapping that you get with packages or even some grocery bags. You don't need to buy anything to stuff these witches feet. Glue them to the bottom of your planter or your trash basket and then cut out some a jack-o-lantern space using Dollar Tree's contact paper or paint it on. It it doesn't matter. Whatever you want to do. I don't really like hand painting. I hate waiting for it to dry but you could totally hand paint or use a Sharpie to draw on a Jack-o-lantern space just the same. Add a costume chai witches hat and you are done. Now mine is really lightweight. So to keep mine secure in the hay bales. I use the same little barbecue skewer trick we used on the foam pumpkins. I just glued the top of the barbecue skewer to the underneath of my waste basket or my pumpkin. Grab one of these pales. These pumpkin pales. I believe these are sold at Walmart and Dollar General. You find them everywhere around Halloween. And then poke out some drainage holds. Add a globe solar light so it goes upwards and this is a really cool way to light up your yard. You can line up your driveway with this or you could hang this from a tree and another little cool quick tip I found is I have a larger solar lights from Walmart in my backyard and these fit perfectly over top of the jack-o-lantern. No hot glue is needed and this looks really cool using one of Dollar Tree's plant hangers or shepherd hooks again. It's a really pretty way to light up the night. Alright so have y'all seen in stores these garden floral foam. They're not foam. These floral wreath tree forms. I've never seen mine in stores. So you may think I'm crazy. But I just ordered 3030 of them or 40 of them online from Dollar Tree. So I have a bunch of these Mama Jamas to use up. If you paint them white and pick up some mesh ribbon from Dollar Tree. You can just wrap your tree up to make it look like candy corn. The cool thing about this mesh ribbon is it's really it's going to stick to anything you don't even need any hot glue the only thing I did secure is I just used a bobby pin at the very bottom to keep the yellow ribbon from fraying another cool thing about this ribbon is it's see through enough so if you put it over a solar light the solar light still gets enough light where it's going to light up at night and you can see through it like you can see the light through it does that make sense it's light enough where you can use a solar light it. It's going to light up the entire candy corn. Alright so check it out y'all. This year I'm doing something kind of different for Halloween. I never have decorated for Halloween before. I'm going very fun youthful juvenile maybe tacky some may say. But I'm just going all out fun and here's what I've started. I just finished all of this yesterday. I want to make a few more candy corns. I even went back and spray painted a Dollar Tree wreath. I had orange to the rest of my look and I love the way it turns out. I don't know. Do you all decorate for Halloween? I never have until this year. Let me know what you think. My next video will be Christmas. So much love to you and I will catch you next time my friend.
