Fall Table Decor with Hardware Accents

I am a party of a challenge at the His and Hers blog to use anything from the hardware store for a project. I first did my Pendant Shade with Metal Washer Accents and then realized that I had many washers left over. I used them to add a little something with some leftover fabric to various vases from the dollar store.

I picked up the plates and napkins from Target. Then created my own napkin rings with metal washers and some jute twine. I didn't include the silverware in my pictures because my two year old would be running around with them chasing my dogs.

I took the piece of fabric that came wrapped around the napkins and wrapped it around the bottle in the crate. I picked up this cute little bottle and crate for next to nothing at the tag sale at Elizabeth & Co around the corner from my house. I added some pine cones that my daughter collected on our beach trip.

Thanks for stopping by my quick little table decor project.

It was a lot of fun and it makes it feel like fall even though the day I did this it was almost 80 degrees here in Maryland. I was able to use some materials from previous projects. However, now we are trying to get through this approaching hurricane, Sandy. I hope that it all blows through without too much damage.

I am participating in the Random Acts of Craftiness at His and Hers where we had to use hardware to create a project in the month of October.

T H E P R O C E S S :
--------------------------------

► The process of making each bag first starts with sourcing the materials. When a facility can not repair an inner tube, they donate it to Reclaimed Wreckage for recycling. I clean, disinfect, manufacture and draft each pattern for a completely unique finished product.

► I use as many reclaimed components as I can in each bag, including the linings, and any hardware used. Every bag is One-of-a-kind because of the vintage materials used. You may see small imperfections and wearing caused from the original material. This is part of the charm of the designs and adds to the fact that your bag has a history previous to you owning it! It's a great way to help to support sustainable approaches.

► Every bag is handmade by me, in my studio, in Salt Lake City, Utah :)
