	Fall Decorating Ideas Kate's Autumn Leaves Wind Catcher We love the fall decorating ideas we found on Kate's blog Centsational Girl. We think you'll enjoy Kate's autumn craft - a charming wind catcher made of fabric autumn leaves. And we feel so fortunate that Kate also shared her pumpkin decorating ideas with us, too. When you're done here, you may want to peek at the pumpkins on her porch. Your front porch is going to be the envy of your neighborhood! Kate made this autumn craft, a wind catcher, with her five year old daughter, to hang on their front porch. Made with fabric leaves and sparkly amber beads, it's sure to be a conversation spot on your porch. I think this would be very fun to make with one of my grandchildren. How about you? Supplies you will need: a 3/16" dowel road, about one yard in length about four dozen fabric leaves of varying colors twine or string (hemp) your choice of beads spray paint is optional (a dark brown color) With a saw, cut your dowel in half. Carefully, of course! Paint the dowel brown, if you like. We think that Kate's turned out nice. Now, make a knot at the bottom of your string and then add a bead (as an anchor). Then snip a little hole in a leaf (near the top). Thread the string through the hole. Continue adding leaves and knot the string each time (after every leaf). Add beads at the top, too, as anchors and decoration. Make several strands to hang from your wind catcher like shown in Kate's photo below. Actually looking at the photo really helps! Criss cross your dowels and tie them. Make sure the paint is dry, of course! Kate glued the dowels together and then secured them with more twine. Now for the moment when you can hang your creation where the leaves will blow in the wind! Don't you just love the sparkly beads in the sunlight? We are so glad to have found Kate's crafty blog Centsational Girl and this great creation! Stop by her blog to see oodles of fabulous ideas. And don't forget about her pumpkin decorating ideas, too.
