Like it or not, fall is in the air.
I like it. A lot.
So it’s no surprise that I am thrilled to be getting my home ready for the new season. Last year I barely plunked a pumpkin on my porch because all of my fall decor was in storage during our basement remodeling project. This year will be totally different! My home will look like a scarecrow vomited copious amounts of harvest-themed decor all over it.
One item that I already added to my backdoor was this cute little guy I made with some twigs I lifted from my neighbor’s yard.
- 9×12 flat burlap canvas
- Gold acrylic paint
- Foam brush
- Hot glue gun & hot glue
- Twigs/branches
- Twine
- Artificial berry stem
- Fabric or ribbon
First I hot glued my twigs together to form the letter I wanted. Then I wrapped the joints with twine to give some extra hold.

Very fun! It was great to read a post by someone looking forward to Fall. Thanks so much for sharing this great project. I don’t think you’re crazy, but I sure did like the photo of your daughter’s expression.
thanks so much for sharing today.
Bre Eggert says
Hahaha, hi Beth! Thank you – it is nice to hear something other than I’m crazy – ha! 🙂 Hope you have a great day!
Cassandra May @ Little Red Window says
Super cute! I agree, isn’t it nice having a non-curvy last name initial?!
Bre Eggert says
Hi, Cassie! Thank you! Yes, I do feel so bad for people with curvy letter last names. They’re just so limited in what they can do with their lives, aren’t they? hahaha 🙂
Amber Harrop says
Thank you for joining in Pin worthy Wednesday 🙂
Bre Eggert says
Thanks, Amber!
The Seana Method says
I love it, Bre. And my last name starts with “T”… and I think I could make that letter. I love the look on your daughter’s face:) I ESPECIALLY love the shoe storage cubby at your door (ok, the silliest things make me happy!)
Bre Eggert says
Thanks, Seana! Yes, you are a lucky one with a straight letter! 🙂 And lol re: the shoe cubby. Can you tell I stuck cake pans in there to hold the shoes so that they wouldn’t destroy the paint inside the cubbies? I’m crazy.

Bre Eggert says
WOO HOO!!! Awesome – thanks Megin! That is so fun! Have a great day!
Erica Sooter says
So fun! Love the spray of berries and the burlap 🙂 Too bad mine starts with ‘S’ – almost the most curvy letter ever haha
Bre Eggert says
Oooooh, sorry, Erica! Maybe you could make a similar one in the springtime with a fresh and bendy branch! 🙂 Thanks for your note!
Christie Selken says
This is such a cute project, and I’m so sorry my last name starts with an “S”! Love it!
Bre says
Hi, Christie – thank you! I’m sorry your last name starts with an “S”, too! Maybe you will be lucky and find some bendy twigs, or perhaps you could make a very pointy “S”? 🙂 Anyway, have a wonderful weekend!
