Happiness Is Homemade Link Party – Inspired by Fall

Happy Halloween! What a fun month, Welcome to Happiness is Homemade and we are more than ready For October. This week a little reflection on the fact it is 451 parties, holy moly. Interesting fact, when this link up first started, they had guest hosts selected from among those who linked up.

So shamless plug, we are a great bunch to party with if you want to join our little hosting group.

All the other months my amazing co-hosts share their favs. This month, A Labour of Life gets to share her love of Fall, Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween, for this Canadian it is an amazing time of year.

Celebration of Fall

This week, a really wanted a return back to all things Fall, but y’all are killing me with all the fun Halloween crafts and ideas. t spooky Halloween. I am back to my standard recipe, food, sips, and fun.

First up is the cutest Festive Fall Outdoor Tablescape from Pure Happy Home. This gorgeous tablescape just got my eye and instantly switched my theme to a pure Fall celebration. I love the fact that she found the table for 20.00 and had her boys refinish it, a true family experience happening here.

Fall Porch Sign

Next up from Cloches and Lavendar is a stunning DIY Porch Sign.  This easy DIY method for how to make a fun porch sign, plus as a bonus she is sharing fun porch decor ideas at the same time.

Dinner with Pumpkins

Next up is dinner of course. Can it really be Fall without a taste of Pumpkin? Well Create Kids Club has shared the tastiest Fall soup, Crockpot Pumpkin Soup. I have pinned this recipe, perfect for those cool nights we are about to have. This crockpot pumpkin soup is packed with beans, tomatoes, and pumpkin which blends in deliciously. It’s a filling meatless meal that cooks all day and is ready for dinner whenever you are! Gluten-free.

Mini Dining Options for Fall

Normally I would be sharing a seasonal drink, aka fun cocktail but this week the dinner options just caught my eyes. Sharing the “funest” dinner idea, mini meatloaves from The Big Green House. Not only healthy and tasty but the presentation is perfect. Plus what an awesome way to make meatlof pretty as a picture.

Mini Meatloaves- The classic comfort food made in a mini version. They come together quickly and making them smaller cuts your cooking time in half. Serve them with your favorite starchy side and call it dinner.

I know I promised a Halloween extravaganza this week but do you blame me for switching lanes. So much Fall goodness to share

But for this week a bonus dessert feature. Pumpkin Pie Dip from Lamberts Lately because I could not resist.

DIY Vases with a Zero Waste Plastic Bottle

This October Challenge Theme is Zero Waste! I love to upcycle things, give them a brand new life and turn them into something beautiful and useful. This time I get my idea from my own previous project. I used a plastic bottle to make DIY Cute Animal Pots. Now, the project is DIY Vase with a Zero Plastic Bottle which use up an entire plastic bottle. But before I move on, let me explain a bit about The Sustainable Pinterest Challenge.

The Pinterest Challenge has had a bit of a reboot for 2022 and is now the Sustainable Pinterest Challenge. Each month I join a group of creative bloggers and we select a pin or two that we feel inspired by and give it a go. Starting in January 2022 the Pinterest Challenge has a sustainable, eco friendly twist to it. All the projects shared will have something about them that involves recycling, upcycling, a general ethos of reducing waste and using what we have. It’s not about beating ourselves with a stick, it’s just about giving thought to how we can make small changes in our lives just a little more sustainable and reduce our impact on the environment.

Last month’s theme challenge was “Nature” and I made an DIY Pinecones for Fall. For this month theme “Zero Waste” as sustainable as a base to any of our challenge projects, I used an entire plastic bottle for vases which go well with Fall theme decor. One plastic bottle will turn into two vases; one hanging vase and a pot.

Things To Prepare

Super easy to make and easy-to-find supplies, so this DIY Vases from a plastic bottle is just great for Fall Decor. Let’s see what are the complete super short list supplies that are used to make this DIY Vases with a Zero Waste Plastic Bottle :

  • Big plastic soda bottles
  • Acrylic paint (white)
  • Gold Paper
  • Black flat nylon rope
  • Glue

How To Make

This surely a super easy project, I’m sure. Just cut and paste job. Anyway, if you wanted to make the same animal as mine, just follow these easy steps on how to make DIY Vases with a Zero Waste Plastic Bottle :

1 . Make sure your plastic bottles are cleaned. Cut a bottle into two, about half from the bottom bottle. Actually the height is up to you to decide, a shallow pot or deeper pot. Don’t forget to make holes on the bottom of one of the plastic pot (the bottom bottle part). But if you need it as a pot for a water pant, then you don’t need to make holes.

2. Start with painting the two vases. Leave it until dry.

3 .Install a hanger to the hanging vase by using a black flat nylon rope.

4. Followed by cutting some gold paper into small pieces which used to make some mosaic finishes on both vases.

5. When you finished with the cut and paste work, both of your vases are ready for planting!

One plastic bottle became two lovely vases, not bad, right? I use the hanging vase to plant some plants that survive with only water. The other gold mosaic vase I use for succulent pot. They both look pretty for my Fall decor.

Now, let’s take a look at what the other Sustainable Pinterest Challenge participants have made for their “Zero Waste” challenge.
