I’m going to seize every holiday opportunity to decorate the space. I figure with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, I could have the wall decorated at least three months out of the year. And if I throw in Valentine’s, Easter and Fourth of July that’s another 3 months – I’ve got half the year taken care of!

I used the die cut machine at the scrapbooking store to cut circles out of fabric.

I sewed a bunch of circles together and hung them from a dowel.

I’m loving how much color it brings into the space. I just might use this idea again for another holiday – how fun would hearts be for Valentine’s??
