Handmade Fall Decor: 15 Ideas for Fall DIY Decorations
Cutest Fall Wood Sign
Angie of The Country Chic Cottage made this cute wood sign with pumpkins and cut-out letters. You can make it exactly like Angie did or customize it to your liking.
Book-Page Pumpkin Candle Holders
This is one of the easiest projects. Have some old paperback books on hand or vintage printed paper? Have some mason jars or other old jars? Debra of Common Ground used her stash to make these adorable candle holders with pumpkin cutouts. This one is on my to-do list.
Harvest Pennant Banner
My sweet friend Crissy of First Day of Home (We met at Haven a few years ago.) designed this harvest pennant banner using her Cricut and she’s sharing the printable design with you.
Terra Cotta Pumpkins
Another friend, Wendy of WM Design House (We met at the Achieve Conference last year), shows you how to make the prettiest pumpkins. Don’t you love the look? There’s a secret ingredient to get them this soft look.
Three Fall DIY Decor Projects
I had to share a few of my favorite fall crafts – actually, there are three – from Bluesky at Home. The fall letters I used on our mantel are easy to make and you can customize them to your color scheme.
Easy DIY Yarn Pumpkins
Yes, there are lots of pumpkin projects. I love this simple yarn project from Laura of Heart Filled Spaces. Again, you can change the colors of the pumpkins to fit your color aesthetic. I checked my supply dresser and I have a few pieces that can be used to make these little beauties.
Easy Sock Pumpkin Tutorial
Does anyone NOT have some old socks you could use for fall DIY pumpkins? Brandy of Gluesticks shows you how easy it is to make these sock pumpkins. You can make two from one sock.
Fabric Pumpkin Garland
I’m a fabric lover so this project from Kristi of French Creek Farmhouse really caught my eye. I love the idea of making fabric pumpkins and using them to make a garland. It doesn’t take much fabric for each pumpkin or time.
Wood Bead Corn
Using wood beads for DIY projects isn’t new, but using them to make an ear of corn is new to me. Summer of Hammon’s Nest shows you step-by-step how to make this harvest symbol of fall.
Faux Mini-Apple Pie
This DIY fall project may be the most unique I’ve seen. Jennifer of Mother Thyme shares how to make these sweet mini-apple pie decorations. Check out her tutorial and you’ll be showing off this project in no time. It would be a perfect gift for the baker in your life.
Paper Leaf Garland
I couldn’t believe it when I saw this paper leaf garland. I have a stack of craft paper leaves sitting on my officer counter. My sweet friend Linda of Life on Summerhill (We roomed together at Haven last year.) shares her version of making a simple but dynamic fall garland.
Mini Pumpkin Garland
Another precious little pumpkin garland project. I love how Chelsea of Lovely Indeed gives these pumpkins a bright, modern look.
Easy “Wood” Acorns
I love making acorns. They are such an iconic symbol of fall. When I saw this version from Susie of Susie Robb, I was intrigued. I was surprised by what they are made of. I’m excited that I have that supply on hand.
Book Page Pumpkin
Agnes of Just That Perfect Piece shares another cool way to make homemade pumpkins with printed pages. This pumpkin has a vintage, nostalgic feel to it. If that is your style, this pumpkin project is for you.
Dollar Store Leaf Bead Garland
Lindsay of My Creative Days used dollar store finds to make a lovely garland with a natural, woodsy feel. Use it as garland or drape it on a table or mantel.
