DIY Fall Wreath Initial
If you are looking for something different than the usual DIY fall wreath for the front door, (or anywhere else for that matter!) then try ‘The Thrifty Abode‘s’ fall leaf initial. Easy and inexpensive, this is a fast fall decor project. Good tutorial and she shows you exactly where she got the products she used to make this.
Fall Twig Flower Pot
Here’s another twig project for you… (don’t you just love having something creative to do with the yard clean up leftovers? 🙂 This twig flower pot by ‘Nini Makes‘ is cute, easy, and a perfect place to pop a couple mums into the decor. Pretty!
DIY Pumpkin Soaps
I love using the smallest details to decorate for the season- no need to spend lots of money on clutter! ‘Clean and Scentsible‘ made these adorable pumpkin soaps, and the tutorial is really short, because it’s so easy! This would be great for the guest bath at Thanksgiving, or just to make it smell amazing all season!
Wax Paper Fall Leaves
From Vanessa at ‘V and Co.’, these wax crayon fall leaves would be perfect fall decor for any occasion- Thanksgiving or a fall harvest dinner with friends especially. Check out her post for all the instructions!
DIY Fall Leaves Decor for Your Front Door
From ‘Country Design Style‘, these falling leaves are really clever! This post is no longer published, but the jist of it is that she simply used hot glue! At first I thought…”Glue?” Then I realized she’s right, hot glue will just peel off glass later! Go ahead, go check it out. Definitely test it out on your glass first somewehre inconspicuous, and as long as it works it’s a genius hack for an easy DIY fall decor idea.
Fall Luminaries
These autumn leaf luminaries are perfect for lighting the walkway or porch for a dinner or party. A fall decor DIY perfect to do with the kids. Originally from ‘Martha Stewart,’ there’s no longer a tutorial published for this one, but we had to keep it for a little extra inspiration!
Decorative Fall Burlap Pillow
Love this burlap pillow from ‘The Opulent Cottage‘! She actually has the directions on how to make the burlap pillows on a different page than where this photo is. In case you don’t catch the link in her post above, here’s how to make burlap pillows. And don’t you just love the idea of putting a throw blanket out on your fall front porch? Don’t forget the cocoa!
Classy DIY Fall Table Decor
Dining tables are one of the best places for seasonal decor as they often serve as the center of the home and provide a great space to display your creativity. If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll definitely want to check out these ideas!
DIY Fall Centerpiece
‘The Quirky Sophisticate‘ recently created this fall centerpiece for a local TV show… old wood box, acorns, fall mosses (and, I would imagine, a glue gun?)… Simple…and AMAZING!
Seasonal Vase Decor
Our first DIY fall table decor idea, from ‘Pottery Barn‘, is the easiest and fastest one! Gather seasonal nuts, acorns or seed pods, and use them to fill clear vases, with or without a votive candle.
Add Fall Leaves to Your Glass Hurricanes
From ‘320 Sycamore‘, this Williams Sonoma glass hurricane hack will save you roughly $77 a piece! That is, if you use Melissa’s dollar store version tutorial, to make them for $3 each instead of $80…
DIY Twig Table Runner
Make a rustic twig table runner with this tutorial by ‘HGTV‘. This is a really simple DIY fall decor project, and I love working with natural materials. You could use this all season, but it would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table decor.
Birch Bark Wrapped Candles
No tablescape is complete without some candles to add to your dinner ambiance. This birch bark candle by ‘Just a Smidgen‘ is a simpler style, very natural. Scroll down her page because not only does she have the instructions for this candle, but she has several other candle ideas as well.

Framed Twig Art
Our last pick for Part One of our Classy DIY Fall Decor post is from ‘Cleverly Inspired‘. Her twig art is easy, looks very cool without being cutesy, and cost only $2 to make! Very clear tutorial. What if you made this using a larger frame for a focal art piece? I’m off to thrift for frames! Be sure to check back with us next week for Part Two!
Hanging Mason Jar Lanterns
Another fall decorating DIY using acorns, from Pinterest! Make an acorn “lantern” with votive candles like the last project, but use wire to create handles to hang them with. I would prefer to see the wire circle the glass jar below the threaded part on the mouth, to give it more to hold on to.
Fall Quote Pallet Sign
‘Serendipity Refined‘ has a DIY fall decor tutorial for this pallet fall sign that really makes you feel the spirit of autumn! I’m also including a pic of her fall mantel as well. If you want to feel the season, take a few cues from her design sense! Beautiful!
