Hello September-DIY sweet gift wrapping


Hello, September! We finally meet again. September is my birth month, and I've always enjoyed the cool air that begins to fill this month.

I appreciate the beautiful colors of blooming flowers and the old ones that slowly fade. It's all just so lovely. Since I love personalized gift wrapping, I decided to create something special. It’s a sweet gift wrap to welcome Autumn, which will soon be upon us.

**Materials needed:**

- Paper bag (for wrapping the package)
- Washi tape (I absolutely love washi tape, and I think you will too!)
- Fresh flowers
- Twine


**Here's what you'll need to do:**

It’s pretty simple:
1. Grab your special gift.
2. Insert it into the paper bag.
3. Wrap it up and apply your washi tape.
4. Using the twine, tie some fresh flowers to your wrapped gift.

You're all done and ready to give your beautifully wrapped gift to someone special. Enjoy!

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this part — slow, even pressu...
