Really, I left my wood pumpkins & candy corn since they are fall decor. I needed something more though...something simple yet decent.
A banner. I wanted something faster & easier than burlap, so I thought I would just do card stock. I rummaged through my scrapbook paper, but didn't have enough of anything but white. I remembered I had a roll of kraft paper (the heavy brown wrapping paper that they use at the post office).
I used my Cricut to cut out the base shape & words (Cricut Essentials "label 1" and Opposites Attract "Opposite" for the letters).
The brown bases were all a little rounded from being on the roll. At first I didn't think this would be great, but it turned out to actually be in my favor.
Glue, twine & clothes pins later....
So, there you have it. I like how they ended up being a little rounded, it gives them a more 3D look * helped the "Count Your" stand up better
Materials:
twine
scissors
paper (card stock or your choice)
tape or glue
tape (for hanging)
Like I said, I used my Cricut machine, but you can easily create or find a template online & cut it out...same with the letters...it will just take a bit more time.
