DIY Fall Decor

Fall is so fun to decorate for. I'm not a huge fan of the scary Halloween decorations so I much prefer the autumn themed route. Below are just a few ideas for decorating. My main items: mini pumpkins, bottles/jars, and dried flowers/grasses...

...and of course fall décor is not complete without a pumpkin spice candle. I got the mini pumpkins from Costco of all places. They had a bag for $6 with all of the pumpkins in this post. Not bad considering that they are the only thing I bought for all this décor. The basket is deceiving... I put some cardboard padding on the bottom to prop my pumpkin up and covered the cardboard with some dark gray fabric.

 

I think it's kind of cute that my pumpkin doesn't fit all the way inside of my little vase. It mirrors the top-heavy flowers in a unique way and the bow dangling down the second half of the vase fills in the empty space. It is also nice to have a "floating" pumpkin when my other pumpkins are flat on the surface or nestled into something.

 

 I've left this little "Happy Fall" banner hanging up in the corner which I made for a little party we had. The colors are fall appropriate and the way the triangles are hanging in that downward slope remind me of jack-o'-
lantern smiles :)

 

Here I am making more use of my bottles and dried flowers/grasses. I prefer collecting dark colored bottles because you can hide things better. If you look closely you can see that my arrangement only goes into the bottle just past the neck of the bottle. At a glance you'd never be able to tell.

 

And last but not least, a simple piece with mini pumpkins and tissue paper in a little dish.

I hope I've given you a couple of simple, cheap ways to spice up a corner, table, mantle, or window sill with some easy DIY fall décor. Happy fall!
