Today I have seven great crafts I want to share with you!

They are so cute, I know you’ll want to make them!

I’m sharing early, so you have plenty of time to gather the materials and make them before Autumn begins!


Plus, you should purchase popular fall items from the craft store before they sell out!

Let’s get started!

Are you ready to be inspired?


Here are seven of my favorite DIY Fall Decor Crafts!

Paint pumpkins to match your decor!

See how I used pearlescent paint to transform some of my pumpkins.


5) Rae Dunn-Inspired Halloween Candles
A duped Rae Dunn candle that says "Boo to You" is a fun DIY Fall decor craft.

You can tweak the design to use for other holidays as well!


6) Paper Leaf Garland
A leaf garland made from brown craft paper is a great DIY Fall decor craft.

Last year I searched for, but I could not find a neutral-colored fall garland!


So, I made my garland out of brown craft paper!


7) Adorable Yarn Pumpkins
Another great DIY Fall decor craft is these yarn covered pumpkins with jute twine stems.

I saved my favorite DIY Fall home decor craft for last!

Not only was it my favorite, but you all liked it too!

WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE DIY FALL DECOR


If the seven crafts I just showed you didn’t provide enough inspiration for you to start making DIY fall crafts, maybe the four reasons I have listed below will change your mind!


1) SAVES MONEY

If you’re like me, you walk through Hobby Lobby, Home Goods, or Kirkland’s and wish you could buy everything!

However, the budget won’t allow that, so I take matters into my own hands and make items for a fraction of the cost!


Several of the crafts in this post and the pumpkin in the above picture were made with items from Dollar Tree that cost $1!

They’ve raised their price to $1.25 but that’s still a great bargain!


2) UPCYCLE OUTDATED DECOR

When I pull out my tubs of fall decor there are always a few items in the bottom that are old, outdated, or I’m just tired of using!


Instead of throwing them away or donating them, I like to upcycle them instead!

If you have items like that, you can update them into something you will love!

Look how I completely updated two old decor items into the cute wreath in the picture above.


3) CREATE A COHESIVE FALL COLOR SCHEME
Before
After

I have lots of fall decor items in traditional autumn colors.

When we moved, I decided I wanted to use more neutral colors.

Instead of buying all new items, I painted things I already had!


My fall coffee bar had a completely different look from one year to the next!


4) crafting is a fabulous hobby

I love to craft for lots of different reasons!

First, it allows me to use my creativity and make things that I think are beautiful and I love!


Second, it makes me use my brain! I love to figure out how to make things and solve problems!

Third, it’s fun and helps reduce anxiety!

Let me know in the comments below if you enjoy crafting or if my post has inspired you to start!


Just think how lovely our homes are going to look all decked out for fall!
