With the changing of seasons comes the changing of decorations. Unfortunately, purchasing new decorations every season can get very pricey, making decorating a bit of a hassle. These easy fall DIY’s will hopefully ease some of the stress of redecorating.
Leaf Jars:
These fall-filled jars are great as decorations and can even be used as storage for whatever you wish. They can be made using any size jar giving them a variety of uses. Another plus is when the season changes you can remove the leaves and reuse them for next year.
For the jars you will need:
- Glass jars
- Twine
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Fake leaves
Instructions:
- If the leaves have stems you will need to remove them.
- Trim the leaves if they’re too long.
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the leaf and stick it to the jar, making sure the edges are secure.
- Wrap the twine around the jar a few times and then tie it in a bow.
- Fill them with desired fillings!
- Bethany Mota, lifestyle youtuber, said “They can be filled with basically anything you want. One of my favorite fillers is candy corn because it’s my favorite fall candy.”
Coffee bean candle holders:
These candle holders not only look cool, but smell great too. The heat from the candle warms the coffee beans making the room smell like coffee. Another great thing about this DIY is it can be used any time of the year, and you can switch out the candles to make it smell more like each season.
For the candle holders you will need:
- Candle holders or small bowls
- Whole coffee beans
- Mini tea lights
- Lighter or matches
Instructions:
- Fill the candle holder or bowl with coffee beans, leaving enough room to fit the tea light.
- Insert the tea light into the coffee beans, surround (do not cover) the tea light with the coffee beans.
- Light the candle and enjoy it’s delicious smell!
Pumpkins:
A simple twist on the traditional painted pumpkin makes these pumpkins look clean and classy. Carving and painting pumpkins is always fun, but can be a difficult task for anyone with subpar artistic abilities. Cassie Brown agrees by saying, “I love decorating with pumpkins but whenever I carve or paint them they never turn out like the picture.” These stencil pumpkins make the process much easier.
For the pumpkins you will need:
- Paint (at least two different colors)
- Paint brushes
- Stick on stencils
- Pumpkins
Instructions:
- Paint the pumpkin with the color that you want the design to be and let it dry.
- Place the stencil on the pumpkin.
- Paint over the entire pumpkin and stencil and let it dry.
- Peel away the stencil to reveal the design.
