So fall is coming by soon, about 2 months and we're there, yee! I don't know about you guys, but fall is one of my favorite seasons other than winter. The leaves turn into shades of canberry reds and pumpkin oranges, the air is crisp and on the verge of chilly, and ofc you're reminded of those scents of pumpkin, cinnamon, apple, firewood when you pass by all the shops filled with aromatic candles getting you ready for the cozy season! These are some DIY things I found online!
This is sadly only meant for girls, since i'm no expert in roomspiration for guy's bedrooms, but if you're a guy and you want to do this, please try it!
DIY Leaf Bowl
Ok, this is super authentic, beautiful, and very halloween-y.
What you'll need:
Balloon, leaf holland (plastic leaves so they don't wither), modge podge, anything sharp.
Insructions:
Take your balloon, spread modge podge on the bottom half of it, evenly spread leaves that you picked off the holland onto the bottom half, cover it up with modge podge again and put a second layer of leaves on. Then wait for it to dry and pop the balloon, and take the poppd balloon out of the bowl! Wala!
You can then fill this baby with candy corn, acorns, anything really.
DIY Rustic Wood ChalkBoard
Ok, you can really write anything fall-like on here.
What you'll need:
Tree stump, chalkboard paint, chalk, paint brushes
Instructions:
Take your tree stump, paint chalkboard paint on it, wait for it to dry (may take up to three hours), and write on it with your chalk!! I wrote "Hello Fall!" on mine.
DIY painted pumpkin
So the pumpkin i'm reffering to ofc is the one on the left! Its so cute and I love metallic colors when it comes to fall.
What you'll need:
A pumpkin, metallic gold paint, circular sponge brushes
Instructions:
Get your pumpkin, it can be fake or not, and get your circular sponge brushes (for a perfect circle clean the edges of the sponge brush), and dab the brush in the gold paint, and start pressing it against your pumpkin one by one.
DIY fall filled jars
These probably have to be one of my favorites!!
What you'll need:
Jars (mason or not), twine, scissors, leaf holland (fake remember), hot glue gun, your choice of filling.
Instructions:
Get your jar, start hot glue-gunning the leaves to part of the sides of the jars and the bottoms, then once thats done, rap your twine around where the top of the leaves are into a bow, then fill with anyhing you'd like! I'd fill some with candy corn (ofc!!) and some with little pine cones, and even some potpourri into some.
DIY cinnamon stick covered candles
Ok these smell so good and are really cheap!
What you'll need:
Candles (even 1 dollar ones, this isn't about the smell really its about the fall look!), twine, cinnamon sticks, hot glue gun.
Instructions:
Take your candle, take a cinnamon stick and hot glue gun one side of it and stick it to the candle, repeat this until the entire candle is covered and then wrap it in twine.
DIY fall tray
This one is so easy, I won't even list instructions! What you will need is anything you want!
You can put cinnamon sticks, acorns, pine cones, candles, squashes/apples in it!
OR you can put on a massive candle, your favorite fall makeup and favorite fall nail polishes on it, then sprinkle some candy corn on some spaces!
ROOMSPIRATION! We've finished some DIY ideas, so lets get on to how to spice up your room!
Led cotton ball lights
Ok, these are the new fad for bedroom decor, and they're so cute and affordable!
This one comes in yellow, white, orange, and brown/black. They range anywhere from $10-$15 dollars. You can get them on Ecrater, Bonanaza, Etsy, even Amazon o Ebay or some room decor shop.
Candles
When it comes to candles, you should buy Yankee Candles or Bath&Body Works candles, they're extremely popular and smell SO good!
Fall pillows, blankets, bed spreads, etc.
Switch out the blues, purples, etc on your bed for reds, oranges, beiges. Always go for some cable knit, even cashmere (if you can afford it) blankets! And follow the same color patterns for SOME of your pillows.
Barn lanterns
Barn lanterns are really good for the fall, they come in big sizes, small sizes for a cabinet or night stand! Remember the DIY tray I was talking about? Add one of these on them!
Now, this was meant for a bedroom, but if you want to add the lanterns in your living room, the tray on your cofee table, stuff like that feel free too. Once again, if you most of these things are really cheap and affordable! Have fun!
