Although it’s still blazing where I live in Texas (or maybe because of it) I am so ready for fall decorating!
As soon as the leaves turn, I’m going to be making a fall leaf banner with my kids, but until then, I have this book pumpkin that I made last year to sustain me.
I want to try more out-of-the-box (and above all easy) crafts this year to help celebrate fall. If you’re in the same boat, then you’ll love my round up of easy fall decorating ideas!
Paper Book Pumpkin
Nothing says fall like a book pumpkin. All it takes is an old book, some paint, an old stick, and a lot of time. Go here for the full tutorial.
Pumpkins in a Lantern
Who would have thought such a simple idea could be so elegant? You can be sure I’m going to copy this idea somewhere in my house this year!
Leaf Stamped Burlap
I think even my kids could do this one. Leaf stamped burlap makes the perfect faux rug for an outdoor porch (or you could also make a table runner from it). I love the simplicity of this idea.
Fall Chalkboard
We have a chalkboard in our hallway. Adding fall phrases is a simple way to bring the spirit of fall into the house without using literal leaves.
Fall-Themed Letters
I’m not sure how Hoosier Homemade created her fall letters, but you can definitely recreate the look with painted cardboard or wood letters and make it say any fall phrase you want!
Painted Acorns
Regular acorns are too boring. Make them more fun and festive with paint!
Fall Candle
Honestly, it doesn’t get any easier than this. All you need are some faux leaves and some twine and you have instant fall candles! But don’t they look so pretty?
What are you planning to do for fall? Any easy DIY projects on your horizon?
These all look great! Being easy makes them perfect for me! I’ll have to add some of these to my to do list!
I’m just starting out in life decorating. We have a fireplace with a huge mantel, so I’ve decorated that.
I love that paper pumpkin and the lantern for my front porch!
Painting acorns seems like a fun toddler activity. And I just so happen to have a few lanterns. Never thought of filling them with pumpkins, but that looks really cute. Thanks for sharing!
Cute ideas! After my wedding at the end of the month i’ll have some lanterns that I can add pumpkins to. Cute and easy! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh love it!! I’m all about easy, easy easy, did I said easy? crafts But t, but usually easy crafts are kind of uglu, this are really lovely!!!
Love all of these! Looks like I have lots of Fall crafts to make. Thanks for this roundup! Now if only my Hobby Lobby would hurry and open…
I LOVE all of these. But especially the candle idea! Thank you!
I love the pumpkin in the lantern idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love the book pumpkin! Thanks for the great ideas.
Ohhh these are all such great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so frustrated I can’t find my fall decorations anywhere! I suspect my hubby did something with them
You had me at “easy,” but throwing in “that ANYONE can do” sold me. 🙂 I love fall decorations, especially that cute lantern!
The book pumpkin makes me swoon! Love crafts with pages or full books.
