Fall Decorated Chicken Wire Frame

Recently, I found this farmhouse-style chicken wire frame at a great price in a thrift store. It is the perfect backdrop for a fall-themed decorated frame.

I shop in thrift stores every week.

Now that I have opened a vendor booth at a local home décor boutique, I shop often for items to repurpose for my booth and vintage items for my home at the same time.

This basic farmhouse-style chicken wire frame was a fabulous find on one of my trips. It measures 18 x 30 and was a steal of a price!

Farmhouse style is not what I use in my own home. However, home décor items with a rustic and Farmhouse flair are very popular at the boutique.  I knew it would be a great addition to my booth and simultaneously make a great upcycle project for the blog.  A win-win for me!

I already had purchased fall-themed floral stems at Hobby Lobby and buffalo check ribbon back in the early summer months, which would be perfect for the Farmhouse look.

In late summer, I pulled out and purged some of my older Fall decorations. In the box was this fall-themed banner garland I made for the blog a couple of years ago. I pulled it back from the donation box for this chicken wire frame. 

I knew I wanted the final sign to have a big buffalo check bow, so before I even got started, I pulled out my EZ Deluxe bow maker and created a black-and-white buffalo check bow.

And yes, the table in my craft room always stays a cluttered mess with unfinished projects. 

Before I attached anything to the chicken wire frame, I laid out several options for the design, both horizontally and vertically.  The back of the frame already had hangers for both orientations, so it was just a matter of deciding how I wanted it to hang and look on the wall. 

The horizontal look won because the banner fit better that way.

Once the layout was determined, I hot-glued the pained clothespins to the frame to attach the banner to the outside edges.

I had to use small glue dots to help hold the other clothespins in place on the wire.  Hot glue would have run right through the openings in the chicken wire, so I am glad I had a box of the glue dots on hand. 

Then, I wired together a bundle of fall floral stems. Sunflowers have always been a favorite of mine to decorate with for the Fall. 

The final step was easy: using the wire from the bow, I attached the floral bundle to the frame.

Currently, the Farmhouse-inspired Fall chicken wire frame is hanging in the front room of my home. Mainly because the rustic walls of this room fit the style of this type of decoration. 

Not sure yet if I will take it to my booth to sell or enjoy it for a few weeks before doing that.
