If you are new to my blog, you may not have seen my tutorial for creating a Williamsburg Style door topper from last year.
I made one for our front door this weekend.
I think I may have done a better job last year but this year I was working during the naptime crunch. Last year, I made it on a warmer day with the baby happy in the swing outside!
Here is a picture from last year showing how it looks above a door.
Oh that's so pretty Amy! I've never heard of a door topper made of fruit before. Very festive and colourful! Do the birds eat it?
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! It is beautiful!!! If I made one, you wouldn't see it because of my porch, boo!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous decoration, Amy! This project is definitely on my someday list. :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! I just bought a pineapple yesterday! Do you eat the fruit?
ReplyDeleteStunning!!! I've never seen that before and I absolutely LOVE it!! What do you mount it all on? It must be really heavy and I cannot tell how those apples are stuck there...I'm envisioning a hunk of plywood with all kinds of nails sticking through it that you skewer the fruit onto...am I close? However you do it, you sure do it well.
ReplyDeleteBefore kids we used to hollow out a pineapple and stick it on the top of our tree with a big red bow around it. It got lots of comments. Now we have a wonderful green woodland faery atop our tree (my daugher thought the pineapple idea was just weird). I'm going to show her this after school to show her I'm not the only wacko when it comes to Christmas decorating with tropical fruit!
Ok, don't answer my questions, I just read the tute. I was right! Wish I had a door to put one of these over - I just love it.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so very pretty!! I have never seen anything like this before :) I was going to ask what you were using to hold up such heavy fruit but I see you linked to how you made it. So creative! Love it and my kids would really get a kick out of this :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make one of these. Every year when I drive through Mystic, CT at Christmastime I see several old colonial homes with these over their front door. Gorgeous! Thanks so much for the how-to!
