36. Fall Leaf Initial
I can’t get enough of personalizing our home space with initials, you simply cannot beat the elegance of a monogram. These big foam initials are very inexpensive at Hobby Lobby and artificial or real leaves attach brilliantly. I made a deal with the kids, that whoever helped set up our Autumn display got their own letter over the gorgeous Fall melange. Everyone was so thrilled and we hung our creative crafts proudly right over the porch.
37. Fall Welcome Sign
My kids love my handwriting so what better way to send them loving messages than simple chalkboard statements. I repurposed an old silver tray adding chalkboard at the center of the trey and tied some twine to the top handle for hanging now I can keep everyone in this house posted on what’s for dinner to household chores. You can add garland around the cabinet frame to suit any season. I added a rustic branch, leaf and berry garland for my rustic Fall display but Christmas lights look great also. The repurposed silver tray chalkboard is perfect year round.
38. Twig Stick Letters
What to do with the remnants of an Autumn yard cleanup, is the question on everyone’s mind this season. I saw these wood stick letters and knew I had to try it. The kids and I made big paper letters and gathered our best sticks, we just broke them by hand, and glued them together on the paper, we didn’t even need a saw or clippers. We wrote out Dad’s name and put it over his parking space in the garage. No better way to say happy Fall and he always knows which parking space is his. A cute fall craft idea you can keep for many years to come.
39. Pottery Barn Inspired Fall Leaf Hurricane Centerpiece
I wanted to make a Fall centerpiece for my Thanksgiving cheese and dessert table this season and I remembered seeing this idea at Pottery Barn. I had my hurricane lamp ready to go and some Michael’s craft store leftover fake leaves, twig garland, and twine from an Autumn display I did last year. It was as simple as fixing it all down using my glue gun, to the bottom of my hurricane lamp. It turned out amazing and the hardest part of the entire project was convincing my guests I did not buy this at a high-end retail outlet. This makes a cute DIY housewarling gift, too. (Ask my new neighbor 🙂
40. Happy Fall Sign
If you live in a hot arid climate, nothing gets people in the mood for Fall than a happy Fall sign and some spice candles. I repurposed some old cabinet doors I got at a local junk shop to make my Autumn sign display. I had one made of chicken wire and one ordinary plank door. I used the plank door to stencil my Fall message over a lovely hand painted whitewash, then affixed the two together and created my own little Autumn still life to get my family really in the mood for the holidays.
41. Fall Banner made from Book Pages
These Fall banners are the lowest cost most handsome decoration you can make hands down. All we needed was a string. stickers and old pages from a book. We got some old books for less than a dollar at Goodwill. We made large ones and small ones put them just inside the door of our back porch Autumn display. The kids got a tremendous feeling of accomplishment out of this easy craft project and it was light on my pocketbook.
42. Decorate For Fall At The Dollar Tree
If you are like me you can’t get enough of the wonderful dollar Tree. I found this cheap and simple decorating idea and decided to give it a whirl. I got some etching cream, one bottle will last you forever and 10 glass jars from dollar tree and popping corn at Randalls. Using my Silhouette Cameo Cutter and adhesive vinal I created these etched glass masterpieces. You can also use adhesive stickers if you’re in a pinch, they will still look excellent.
43. Falling Leaves Door Decor
This Autumn leaf Mural looked so good on the door of my antique shop. I glued some leaves onto the glass of the rustic wooden door and the simplicity of the Fall season is singing in quiet understatement, my customers love it.
44. Autumn Leaf Luminarias
We had so many leftover treat bags from my daughter’s Halloween party, they were stuffed in every drawer in the kitchen. My daughter brought me this idea to paint them from Martha Stewart that looked super easy and fun. we had the best time collecting leaves then spraying our beautiful patterns on the bags. We lined the porch with them, but we had to extra careful to use glass candle enclosures, otherwise, they could be dangerous.
45. Birch Bark Decorated Candle
I love this Autumn decor idea and you don’t need much, just birch bark, candles, pieces of leather, jute string, leaves.. a beautiful taste of fall!
I found the strips of bark came off quite easily from my stash of fireplace logs I have in the backyard.
My bag of firewood is just one of those bags you pick up at any gas station. I just fastened the bark to the candle with leather string and made the most beautiful fall candle I’ve ever seen.
