Make over 40+ unique DIY fall decor projects to get your home ready for the season! Get ideas for autumn wreaths, signs, pumpkin art, and more.
Every year I get excited to decorate my home for autumn, and this year is no exception. it’s been a relatively hot and sometimes humid summer, and I’m quite ready to move onto my favorite season!
I love fall crafts, decorating pumpkins, fall signs, wreaths, and let’s not forget the desserts and candy. We all know that autumn is when people start churning out the baked goods and handing out neighbor gifts and goodies (oh – and I’m all in).
I’ve got a bunch of autumn decor projects to share with you that I’ll be releasing soon, but I wanted to start with a collection of some of my favorite tutorials of all time (yes, I’ve included my own projects!).
I’m hoping that something on this list inspires you.
The projects I’ve found are not just cute and perfect for a variety of decor styles (rustic, farmhouse, etc), but they’re also EASY for beginners. So if you’ve never crafted before, you’ll find something here you can make.
Fall decor trends for this year include earth tones, warm wood, woven and textured fabric, and combining vintage and modern.
