DIY TeePee Tree - Fall Decor

 While decorating our front porch for fall (it's still

a work in progress) I decided the items 

needed a bit of height...

I pulled a piece of scrap wood from the pile

in the garage that was 8"X19" and I cut two

8"X8" squares using the chop saw. 

The dowels were leftover from a different project, 

so they were sitting in the scrap wood pile too.

Using a 1/4" spade bit and the screwdriver, holes

were easily scraped out, leaving the perfect 

spot for the dowels to cozy up to.

A bit of liquid nails and a touch of white spray paint

and they sat overnight in the garage till time

was on my side....

The tops were strategically pinched together as garden

twine was wrapped around the top and a bit of hot glue was used

to seal the twine in place. Once the teepees were finished, 

a knotted loop of twine was all that was used to hang the

 Natural Grapevine Garland (on sale at A.C.Moore

for $2.50) and the rest was loosely wrapped around

the teepee. 

Simple and inexpensive decor, which

will be fun to add lights to as well.
