Tutorial - Wall Decor from Recycled Cardboard Rolls

http://www.cutesimplestuff.com/?p=1065
Affordable seasonal decor

Tutorial at Cute Simple Stuff Blog

"When it comes to seasons my favorites are fall and winter, definitely. I´m a colder weather instead of a warm weather all the way. To me, there is nothing better than fall and winter weather, with the warm clothing, the hot drinks, Christmas lights and the smell, the feels, in general, the feels.  Now for this DIY a friend sent me this cropped photo or this cool idea. It´s a different concept but when I saw it I thought: wow, what a clever and fun way of upcycling this kind of items. So I wanted to give the concept a try, with my own spin on it".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Ribbon Fall Garland

http://theseamanmom.com/diy-fall-garland/
Would make a nice addition to Thanksgiving decor

Tutorial at The Seaman Mom Blog

"This DIY fall garland project is ridiculously easy and quick! Once you’ve got your supplies together it should take less than 10 minutes to make. You could then cross this pretty garland across a fireplace, or along an empty, white wall as I did.  You can use leaves from your backyard or a park or you can purchase artificial ones and then paint but I think the natural leaves look so much better and give your garland a more authentic look. And if you are a rustic decor lover, you’ll enjoy working with natural leaves, they add a touch of warmth to any house".... Read more

Tutorial at The Beauty DoJo Blog

"A very happy Friday to you all! Today we’re going to be making these super duper easy gold glitter polka dot pumpkins! I’ve always loved the look of gold glitter on white pumpkins! In fact, last year, I made something similar using mod podge and loose glitter. Although it looked pretty, it also created a pretty big mess in the process (any of you guys who have played around with loose glitter know what I mean). Somehow glitter just ends up everywhere! Well….with this method you won’t have to worry about creating a big glittery mess! Keep reading to see how it’s done".... Read more

Tutorial - Make an Autumn Fall Leaf Centerpiece

http://engineermommy.com/2015/fall-diy-leaf-branch-centerpiece/
Put together a seasonal decoration with a few supplies

Tutorial at Engineer Mommy Blog

"Although I love decorating for Fall and although I tend to go “all out” (as my husband so aptly points out to me), I don’t really like to spend a whole lot of money for Fall decorating. I love to get a Fall-themed home on a very minimal budget. And today I’d love to share with you an easy DIY that definitely screams “FALL” but really only cost me about $1 (since I had a few of the supplies on hand). If you had to buy everything yourself, this little project would probably set you back about $5… not too bad, right?! I’m all about budget decorating… and getting “the look” for less".... Read more

Transform an old birdcage into a fall arrangement

Tutorial at Joyful Daisy Blog

"This was such a fun project inspired by a birdhouse that I picked up at my grandpa’s old antique store.  It just needed a new look so I sprayed it black and then found this perfect urn shaped basket to set it on.  Then I added some twigs, silk flowers and stems, and then a few crows to top it all off for the focal point of my fall porch decorations.  Let’s my show you how simply it all came together.

Tutorial - How to Make a Pumpkin Wreath

Pumpkin shaped wreath suits the Autumn season well

Wreath Tutorial at Purple Hues and Me Blog

" I wanted one that if you looked at it from the side, it would appear round or oval like a pumpkin.  I must admit I had a hard time trying to accomplish this.  At first I tried wrapping the already coiled garland into a pumpkin shape. I twisted and wrapped, and tugged and bended but just couldn't get it right.  Then I decided to make a single pumpkin shape with a stem and go from there".... Read more
