The Chalkboard Fall Vignette - Φθινοπωρινή βινιέτα

Autumn is here in full swing.  The days are getting colder and I still have not started decorating for this, my favorite season.  I needed a quick fix to get me in the Fall mood.   This is the first thing that caught my eye. What attracted me to this bottle was the orange plastic on top.  It looks kinda pumpkinish.  So why not turn it into a pumpkin? 

Το φθινόπωρο είναι εδώ σε πλήρη εξέλιξη. Οι μέρες γίνονται όλο και πιο κρύες και εγώ ακόμα δεν έχω αρχίσει τη διακόσμηση για την αγαπημένη μου εποχή. Χρειαζόμουν μια γρήγορη λύση για να μπω σε φθινοπωρινή διάθεση. Αυτό είναι το πρώτο πράγμα που τράβηξε την προσοχή μου. Το μπουκάλι εχει ένα πορτοκαλί  πλαστικό στην κορυφή. Μοιάζει κάπως σαν κολοκύθα. Γιατί λοιπόν να μην μετατραπεί σε κολοκύθα;
​

Using black chalkboard paint, I painted the labels.   Once they had dried I simply prepared them by using chalk all over and wiping it clean. Then it was time to draw an image and play. 

Χρησιμοποιώντας τη μπογιά για μαυροπίνακα, έβαψα τις ετικέτες. . Μόλις στεγνώσαν  τα προετοίμασα με κιμωλία και τα καθάρισα με ένα πανί. Στη συνέχεια, ήρθε η ώρα να σχεδιάσω μια εικόνα και να παίξω.

I found another bottle along the way and painted it the same way.  

Βρήκα κι’άλλο μπουκάλι και το ζωγράφισα με τον ίδιο τρόπο.

The bottle on the right was made using coriander seeds. Just glue them on.

Το μπουκάλι δεξιά έγινε χρησιμοποιώντας κόλιανδρο.

And for Halloween, just turn the bottles backward and …Boo!

Και για τις Απόκριες, γυρίστε τα μπουκάλια προς τα πίσω και … Boo!

I get two looks for the price of one!  Actually the possibilities are infinite since it’s a blackboard, I can erase and write whatever I want.  Maybe I will even use them for Winter decorating.  And it was done very frugally.  What do you think of my little Fall vignette?

Παίρνω δύο για την τιμή του ενός! Στην πραγματικότητα, οι δυνατότητες είναι άπειρες αφού  είναι ένας μαυροπίνακας, μπορώ να διαγράψω και να γράψω ότι θέλω. Ίσως θα τα χρησιμοποιήσω ακόμη και για τη χειμωνιάτικη διακόσμηση. Και έγινε πολύ οικονομικά. Τι γνώμη έχετε για την  Φθινοπωρινή  βινιέτα μου;
