fall

. Many thanks to Thrive Market for sponsoring today's video, but let's get into it first. Let's

make

the cutest pumpkin drink with whipped cream on top. I love it. So much so that the first thing I'm doing is painting this mug.

Now I paint the inside of some of these crafts and the outside of some of these crafts so either way it doesn't

make

any difference but from this I knew I was going to glue something on top or cover it so I thought I'd better put the paint inside. I mixed it with a little bit of brown, so orange and brown to get a darker tone. color the next thing i had to do was put some kind of lid on it so i could make like whipped cream on top so i put a styrofoam ball in the cup and that will help hold the lid on and then i took the second one and yeah, they both came from Dollar Tree and I grabbed the second one, cut the bottom off so it would sit on top of one of these little wooden circles and then covered it with putty, so I found one randomly. wooden circle that I had on hand the

dollar

tree

has tons that I have in the craft section. um this came out like from the floral section it was called a wreath charm and I've never

used

it like that so I just pick them up when I see them the first thing I did was when I covered it with the putty I just pushed it over the ball of styrofoam because I felt like whenever I like the pipe putty in there, it stuck much better than just the styrofoam and then I noticed that a lot of this brown was showing through, so I went ahead and covered that white so that the putty of the The dollar tree I picked was a little dry to put in a piping bag, so I mixed it with just a little bit of water. definitely add less and keep adding so it doesn't thin out too much, but I kept mixing this until it was a frosting like consistency and then I already had some wilton bags on hand with a star tip so I'm going to Fill it up and then place it on top.

You don't want it to be too runny because it will just melt out of the Styrofoam ball, so you want to keep it fairly thick. I did not like. Continue there, perfect. I didn't make it perfect, but it's totally fine, it's a really fun craft and then I'm going to put a little bit of glitter on top and that will camouflage any imperfections, I will say, although after filming this I did. Go back in and add some little stars around the edges to fill it out so you can add as much or as little as you want.

Whatever you want, you can add the little stars everywhere, but I liked how it looked. I just built it as a cupcake topper and then, as I mentioned, added that glitter to it. I love how it makes it shine, but hides a lot of imperfections. Then I bought these paper straws from Walmart and decided to go with this really fun gold one. and a white pattern I glued right on the styrofoam and then you can place this on top and then I had these little pumpkin stickers so I definitely had to glue something on the cup.

This is the cutest decor piece, perfect for tear trays, countertop shelves, but I love it in the kitchen area and then you wouldn't even have to make the mug. I found this adorable ghost mug at t.j.maxx and stuck it on there and it's just as cute. Next we will make a small Halloween succulent stand or planter. I was excited to make Jack Skeleton when I was little, my brother was obsessed with this movie so it always reminds me of Halloween, but I went ahead once again and painted the inside of white because I'm going to fill this in, just look, it's I'm just going to keep all the paint on the outside coming off and then I'm going to take my black paint marker.

I just give it away freely. You can Google like painted Jack skeleton face, so I really like to look like that for inspiration. Although some of them had different mouths, I just

used

a simple smile with little dots there and tried to make his eyes not perfect circles, that was a way to make him look more like him. I went through the mouth to try to get it. a little thicker but this is super cute, you could put it together in just a few minutes. I painted the handle black. I wanted to add some black glitter later, so I could go ahead and do that, but I don't.

I want it to look too girly and then even though I used the black paint marker on the eyes, I went over it again with a little bit of black paint just to make sure everything was covered and I didn't have any streaks there and then I'm using fake succulents from the dollar tree and then I put some moss in there to cover the styrofoam. You could put any type of styrofoam you wanted. I just had these little Styrofoam balls that I was working with, but I thought. It looked very cute placed on a shelf and super fun for Halloween.

You'll still get that 30 off your first order as well as a freebie and another huge thank you to Prosperous Market for sponsoring today's video, but let's get back to crafting, if you don't want to decorate for Halloween you can make a Small Flower Pot Drop of scarecrow with some artificial flowers in there, so I chose more of this neutral mineral color and then I just hand painted his little face, gave him an orange triangular nose and then painted the whites of the eyes and then came back with a marker to fix all the small details.

Scarecrow faces are one of my favorite things to paint. It is fun. I love these fine tip painters markers. I buy them at Walmart and every time I do my eyes. Always leave a small white circle just to make it look like he has little lights in his eyes or you can take a brush and add the little dot of white paint later. Now it's something unique and fun to do because I knew it and I wanted it. to make it look like it had a little hat on it, so I bunched and waved some of this burlap fabric or burlap ribbon and then I glued a little piece of styrofoam inside and then I put my artificial flowers on it, I feel like it does make it look like it has a little hat of straw or something like that underneath.

I mentioned in a previous video that I don't love super spooky Halloween, but I do love decorating with little witches and things that would make you or remind you of trick or treating. night, so I know a lot of people gave me shit for not removing the labels from my mug and painting over them, definitely take yours off if you can, but for video purposes, I struggle with those labels like nothing you've ever seen before. remove them, but sometimes it's easier if you're not going to see them painting over them, so I give it two coats of this green color and then I wanted to add a little 3D nose, so I filled in a little wooden bead with some putty for wood, I'll stick it on the front and then I'll paint over it and after it dried, I took my paint marker one more time and I gave it the cutest little face, I made it look like your little mouth was open and then and it was just going I started to draw his eyes with this black marker, but then I felt like the brightness of the white in his eyes was lost, so I went back and added some white paint on top and then I thought it would be super cute to add it. a small broom like the witch was holding a broom and then she could put whatever she wanted inside this cup.

I found one of these in eucalyptus as scented broom pieces. I cut off all the tops with a pair of scissors, added a rod and this made the perfect little mini broom. I know it doesn't look perfect with the stick behind it, but every time I tied the ribbon to connect it to the cup, everything blended together perfectly, I couldn't even tell the stick was there. It's not inside the broom, but I'm sure you could drill a hole in there and stick it inside if you wanted, but you added the white in the eyes and that little plaid bow and it turned out perfect. perfect for a cocoa bar or any type of halloween like once again on a teardrop tray or on a countertop, I filled mine with hot chocolate but I think it looks so cute.

I love how the switch turned out and then for me the

fall

always kicks. Outside of the gift-giving season, I know it's a little early, but sometimes for Halloween we have Halloween parties. I have a lot of family birthdays that are in the fall, so I thought it would be really nice to pick up some dollar. tree socks I would have used the same cups I had before, but I bought all the ones I could find at the dollar tree every time I went to make this video and I couldn't find any more, so I bought these clear cups from Walmart. um, but they're super thin and I paid three dollars for them, so I would recommend picking them up at Dollar Tree.

I just filled them with some goodies, tied some cute Dollar Tree ribbon around the edges, put a little sticker on the front and this is something really cute to give as a coworker or just a fun little gift like a boo or you got booed though, whatever you like to do in the fall season, but I think they turned out really cute and a fun gift idea.

Also comment below if you noticed I cut my hair. A little nervous because I went there to get my hair cut and I wanted this length so I really wanted a lot of the length removed but she cut it like really short bangs. It's very strange that I have to pin it or if I curl it, I have to do it. spray them back so it's very weird.

I hate getting bad haircuts. I'm not really picky. I'm like I want hair. You know, maybe you could frame it a little bit around my face, but anyway, she just gave me these weird bangs. and I just hated it, I'm not the kind of person who would really like to step up and say, hey, I hated this, so I just go home, smile, thank you, and then I go home and deal with it. about that, but my hair usually grows pretty fast, so I'm hoping I can figure it out and figure out new ways to style it, but I was so happy to get all that heavy hair out of my hair that it was too hard to try and fix it.

She wore it up in a bun. every day, but I should have done it before summer instead of waiting until we get into fall to cut it all off. I should have enjoyed shorter hair all summer long. Let me know in the comments below what you're up to and what you're up to. I've been a little sick and I'm getting a little better. I had a bad word, but we're getting better anyway. I'm happy to be back. In fact, I skipped an entire week last weekpass. I'm really excited to get back to normal, but give me a big thumbs up.

I thank you all for watching this video and I'll see you in the next one. Happy goodbye.
