28 Fall Crafts that You Can Do Yourself
1. Painted bottles
![Fall decor idea painted bottle and sunflower](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD1.jpg)
Here’s an easy idea that you could recreate.
If you have some glass bottles lying around in the cupboard, bring them out paint them, and add some fabric.
Once that is done you can use a stencil to paint out the letters that spell “Fall” one letter per bottle.
And there you have it, a budget-friendly decor piece that you could add to your counters in the Fall.
If you don’t like the look of the fabric, you could leave it out and just paint the letters onto the bottles.
2. White aesthetic

If your house has a certain aesthetic but you’d like to add a bit of Fall decor then this is an idea that you could use.
Most shops have pumpkins that are orange or other colors, you could simply paint over these in your white paint.
And there you have it, a Fall decor piece that you have done by yourself and that matches your aesthetic.
3. Cut-out bats
![Fall decor Halloween spiders cut out if paper](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD3.jpg)
This idea is one that anyone could do.
All you need is a stencil, a white pencil, black paper, and some scissors.
Trace around the stencil in the white pencil and cut out the bats.
You can stick these bats anywhere you’d like!
On your refrigerator, front door, kids room, the possibilities are endless.
I like how they have made the bats go from the largest one to the smallest one to give the illusion of them flying away.
4. Tree stump wreath
![Fall decor ideas tree stumps and paint wreath](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD4.jpg)
If you have an old tree stump lying in the garden, cut it into small pieces, paint them and glue the pieces together.
To make these look more like pumpkins add the stalk by cutting up a few sticks.
You could also add some writing on the wreath.
To complete it, add a piece of material that you can hang the wreath by.
5. Cement pumpkin planter
![Concrete Fall decor DIY pumpkin planter](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD5.jpg)
Do you have an old trick-or-treating bucket lying around?
Fill it up with cement, add an empty plant pot in the middle, and allow it to dry.
Then cut open the bucket with craft knives and you have a cute pumpkin plan holder.
To prevent the cement from sticking to the bucket, add a layer of oil to the inside of the bucket before pouring the cement.
6. Mini wreaths
![Fall decor wreath](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD6.jpg)
If you have some foliage and a few circular metal embroidery holders then you could make a few Fall wreaths to hang on your front porch.
Search the shops for mini pumpkins and add them to your wreaths to give them more of a Fall feeling.
7. Crate pumpkins
![Fall decor crates](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD7.jpg)
This is also an easy one to recreate.
Paint some crates orange, add a wooden stalk and some foliage and you have a crate pumpkin.
This is a great way to recycle crates that you no longer need.
Once you are done with using these as decor pieces you could always use these as storage again.
I like how they have added illustrations of owls onto the stalks.
8. Rope and straw pumpkins
![Fall decor idea DIY pumpkins](https://malenapermentier.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/FD8.jpg)
This idea may be a bit trickier.
If you can find a styrofoam ball, you could add some staw or rope around it to give it a pumpkin shape.
This is for the more naturally aesthetic home.
If you have earthier tones, this idea is for you.
9. Stencil welcome mat

Add a pair of eyes and a mouth if you’d like and you have a friendly little rope ghost.
Glue on something that you can hang your ghost off of too.
If you want to, you could even make your ghost different colors.
