Spruce up your Home with these DIY Fall Decor Ideas

Starbucks is officially selling fall drinks again so if it’s pumpkin spice season I’m ready for all of the fall crafting. I’ve been looking for inspiration to add some fall vibes to my new rental and came across a bunch of DIY fall decor ideas from talented bloggers that I’ve compiled in this roundup for you.

DIY decorations are great. You can customize them exactly how you want and often times save money making them yourself. I say often times because I’ve definitely spent too much on a craft project when I could have just bought something already made. You too?

I love the cozy temperatures and colors of fall and I’m always eager to add fall decor to my home to embrace the season. Here is my list of 12 inspiring DIY fall decor ideas that you can incorporate into your home. Many of them are also great ideas for DIY fall wedding decorations or even as gifts for family and friends.

It’s so easy to customize a coir doormat with some paint. This design incorporates leaves in fall colors and uses a vinyl cutting machine like a Silhouette or Cricut to cut the stencils.

Wall Art with Pressed Leaves

Talk about a super easy DIY fall decor project! All you need to do is collect some fall leaves from your neighborhood and arrange them in some empty frames. Hanging all of these frames would give me anxiety but it sure does look great!

I love this idea to spruce up your table setting for fall. You can usually find small gourds like this at the grocery store during fall. Just carve a hole in the top and drop in a candlestick.

Don’t forget about decorating your kitchen and bathroom for fall too. You can download this pumpkin design for free. Just print it on iron on paper and then iron it onto towels.

Pumpkin Pillows

How cute are these pumpkin pillows? They require just a little bit of sewing so you don’t need to be a pro. I love how they used a wine cork for the stem.

Fall Wreath

Fall wreaths are a common way to decorate for the autumn season but they can be super expensive if you buy them from the store. Why not make your own? You’ll just need a wreath base and a selection of picks and greenery. The possibilities are really endless. I made this neutral wreath a few years back but I’ve also made some autumn colored wreaths too!

Concrete Pumpkins

These cool concrete pumpkins were made using panty hose and twine. Yeah, you read that correctly. I love the rustic look of these pumpkins. They would look great outdoors or indoors for fall decor.

This centerpiece is gorgeous! The muted fall colored pumpkins paired with the foliage are a perfect combination. This would look amazing on a dining room table, mantle or on a console table like the image above.

Fall Coasters

These fall coasters are super cute and an easy DIY craft for anyone. They use cork and felt and you can download the stencil for free to make your own! I actually think these could look great year round.

Wooden Pumpkin Lanterns

I love these pumpkin lanterns. While they were made with a CNC, you could always create your own stencil and cut them with a jigsaw out of scrap wood. No need for special machinery here.

Dried Flower Pumpkins

The last project that inspired me were these dried flower pumpkins. I think they are so pretty and love how the dried flowers match the color scheme of the pumpkins. If you’re looking for an anthropologie aesthetic, these pumpkins are the way to go!

Don’t forget to pin this for later!

I hope these creative DIY fall crafts inspired you as much as they inspired me. I’m planning on making a new fall wreath for my front door. I think I’ll go with vibrant colored dried flowers since I now have a storm door and don’t have to worry about my wreaths getting damaged by rain and wind.
