I wrapped the bottle from bottom to top, using Elmer's glue to secure it in place. I used a lot of glue at the top and bottom {every wrap around} and less glue in the middle {only every 4-5 wraps around the bottle}. I didn't have to worry about being precise with the glue either because it dried clear. Easy peasy! Wouldn't it look cute with some branches in it?
I also decoupaged a small cardboard letter "A" for Autumn with some scrapbook paper. The directions for making this letter are very similar to how I made the large letter "R" for my SIL's wedding {find it here}, but since the letter was much smaller I didn't have to do all the patchwork....much easier! I also just painted a wooden leaf to decorate the letter instead making paper flowers. Again, much easier.
Then I filled a mason jar with the ingredients needed to make Cranberry Hootycreeks and wrapped up a cute set of pumpkin measuring cups that I bought at half price (which I forgot to get a picture of...they're hiding in the candy corn bag). I think it turned out to be a cute little gift for the season.
What do you think?
