Some of my best paint-based room makeovers have happened using a $15 can of recycled paint and dollar store brushes.

All you need is some basic tissue paper (like from the gift wrapping department), some scissors, and some kind of string or bendable wire.. To make a large pompom, use 6-10 sheets full-size sheets, to make smaller pompoms, cut the sheets in half and use 6-10 half-sheets.. Stack your sheets and fold them accordion-style, making your pleats about 1.5 inches wide..When you’re done, it will look like this:.

Perfection not required!.Next you’ll tie your string around the middle of the accordion.. You’ll feel like you should tie it really tightly, but don’t.The looser the string is, the easier it will be to fluff up your pompom later.. Next, take your scissors and trim the ends of your accordion.

This will make the “petals” of your pompom look pretty.You can cut them into a round shape, or a point, or whatever you want.. Baby photo bomb!.

It happens.. Next, separate the accordion folds on one side of your pompom and get ready to fluff!.

Separate each sheet from the rest of the pack by gently pulling up.There are some random stalks of corn growing in the soy field and the farmer has sprayed them to try to get rid of them before it’s time to harvest the soy.

The corn is turning a very Fall-y shade of red and I think I might help the farmer by removing a few stalks for him to Fall up the front of the house..The barn in the evening..

The barn through the corn..I just can’t get enough of the corn.. We’re very unhappy to see our creek looking like this.
