One of the best things about fall, in addition to the pumpkin-spiced lattes (of course), is the chance to decorate. With tapestries of yellow, orange, red, and brown dancing in the air, the season is a canvas ready for your creativity and craftiness. If you’re looking for some ideas to get started, consider the following:
Tiered Colander
This tiered colander décor relies on old aluminum colanders, tiny pumpkins, floral foam, and plastic sprigs to give your kitchen a kick into the season. Allowing for plenty of customization and innovation on your part, this is ideal for anyone who doesn’t like to cook. Now, those colanders won’t go to waste!
Fall Foliage Mobile
This fall foliage mobile is a DIY project that your kids can help with. The entire process takes about an hour, especially if you have help on the watercolor front. Mix and match autumn hues for the most dynamic effect.
Fall Leaf Lanterns
If you have to rake your yard, you may as well make a craft project out of it. This decor requires little more than an old piece of glass (such as an empty pasta or salsa jar) and a handful of pressed leaves. The end result is a fun lantern that emphasizes the powerful partnership between manmade art and Mother Nature.
Maize Corn Vase
This maize corn vase doubles as an autumn centerpiece and a conversation piece. Don’t let its vibrant color or expansive detail fool you; it’s easier to create than you might think. All you need is a plain glass vase, some flowers, dried corn on the cob, and raffia to hold it all together.
Halloween Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a mainstay of fall but they don’t have to be orange and carved. This delightful decor is a simple, cheap, and easy-to-make option for anyone looking to get into the Halloween spirit. All this art project requires is three foam pumpkins (that you can purchase at almost any craft store), paint, and a bit of hands-on effort.
Fall is the perfect time to be festive. Use these ideas to fill your home with a little harvested happiness.
