28 Fall Crafts that You Can Do Yourself
1. Painted bottles
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
If you find a plain welcome mat somewhere you could always spray-paint some words onto it.
This idea is a Halloween welcome mat and it is so cute.
This is a budget-friendly, easy idea that anyone can do.
10. Rope ghost
If you glue a few pieces of rope together and unwind the ends to create a floating effect then you have a cute aesthetically pleasing Halloween decor piece.
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.
11. Fall Tassels
Another easy Fall decor idea that you could do by yourself is making a whole lot of tassels in the Fall colors and adding them to a string that you can hang up.
These tassels are easy to make and the yarn is not expensive.
12. Amber glasses
If you aren’t into the whole Fall labels and want something simpler, this is the idea for you.
Here you can finally use those amber bottles that you have been hoarding in your cupboard.
This brown is a Fall color, so why not simplify your decor and just use Fall colors?
13. Use dried fruit and flowers
Here’s an idea that you could use for dried fruit and flowers.
String them along a string and attach them to a stick and you have a hanging Fall decoration.
I love how colorful this piece of decor is and how it uses waste and makes it beautiful.
14. Paper pumpkins
Here’s another easy pumpkin decor idea that you could even do with the kids.
All you need is pumpkin-colored paper, a stencil and scissors.
Add a little pumpkin stalk and leaf to the top and you have a cute table decor piece.
To take this piece to the next level, you could add an LED candle in the middle to light it up.
15. Paper mache pumpkins
Here’s another idea using a styrofoam ball and some paper mache.
I love how these pumpkin decor pieces match the china that it is placed in front of.
If this is your aesthetic but you’d like a few more Fall decor pieces in your home, then this is how you incorporate both into a decor piece.
16. Simple falling leaves
Collect a few pretty leaves and a stick and string them all together to create a beautiful falling leaf display.
I love how simple and beautiful this decor piece is.
It gives the illusion that the leaves are still falling from the tree.
17. Paper wreath
This is how you incorporate all of the Fall colors into one Fall decor piece.
This idea can be done by anyone.
Print a few leaves of different sizes and shapes out on differently colored Fall paper and cut them out.
Then stick them all around a circular wreath holder and you have a DIY Fall wreath.
Beautiful, unique, and budget-friendly.
18. Personalised sign
If you find a cute sign at the shops but want to make it more special then why not customize it?
These little ghosts are so cute and I love how they have added all of the names of the family members to them to make it feel more personal.
If you find a black sign like this one, you could always paint on the little ghosts and write names on them too.
19. Plank pumpkins
If you have a few planks of the same sizes and some wine bottle corks lying around you could turn them into pumpkins!
Add a bit of paint and glue the wine cork to the top and there you have it!
I love how cute and simple this idea is.
You could go all out with the colors or you could keep it simple, the choice is yours.
20. Spiderweb popsicle sticks
Here’s an idea for you and the kids.
Stick three popsicle sticks on top of each other in the shape of a snowflake and wrap the string around the sticks.
There you have a spider web!
Make sure to leave a long piece of string that you can hang the web with.
Add a few little cutout spiders and you have the cutest Halloween decoration ever!
21. Acorns galore
Fall is Acron season, so why not use them as Fall decor?
Paint them all different colors or paint them Fall colors.
These are so cute to fill up a jar with and make a cute table decor piece.
22. Falling leaves
Here’s another falling leaf display.
This one looks like it has been cut out of cardboard and painted in different Fall colors.
I like how it goes from a long string of leaves to a short string of leaves.
23. Stick candle jars
If you want to make your candle jars a bit more festive you could cut up a few sticks and glue them around the candle jar.
To add a bit more bling and color you could paint the ends of the sticks gold or whichever color you choose.
This is an easy and inexpensive way to brighten up any jar in the house.
You could do this with longer jars too and fill them with flowers.
24. Decoupage candle jars
This is a cute way of incorporating Fall leaves into clear candle jars that you already have.
Stick the leaves on with a water and glue solution and then cover them with more water and glue to make sure the leaves don’t fall off.
You could do this with the bottom of plastic bottles too and add a tea light candle into them.
25. Stick sign
This is a really easy idea that you could recreate using a plain sign and a few sticks.
You could spell out whatever word or phrase that you would like.
26. Pumpkin with lids of jars
Using the old lids of jars, spray painting them different Fall colors and fastening them in the middle to create a pumpkin shape is an easy way of creating a pumpkin decor piece.
Add a piece of wood or a cork on the top as the stalk and there you have it.
27. Kid-friendly leaves
Here’s another idea that you can get the kids involved with.
Collect a few Fall leaves and bring out the colorful paint!
Let the kids go wild with this now.
You could frame the best ones and use them as Fall decor pieces.
