diy fall – Decor Craft Design

DIY Pinecone for Fall

This September Challenge Theme is Nature! I love to upcycle things, give them a brand new life and turn them into something beautiful and useful. This time I get my idea from my own previous project. I turned something from nature as a decoration, which was pistachios shells into DIY Gold Acorn for Fall decor. Now, the project was DIY Pinecone for Fall which made out of seashells. But before I move on, let me explain a bit about The Sustainable Pinterest Challenge.

The Pinterest Challenge has had a bit of a reboot for 2022 and is now the Sustainable Pinterest Challenge. Each month I join a group of creative bloggers and we select a pin or two that we feel inspired by and give it a go. Starting in January 2022 the Pinterest Challenge has a sustainable, eco friendly twist to it. All the projects shared will have something about them that involves recycling, upcycling, a general ethos of reducing waste and using what we have. It’s not about beating ourselves with a stick, it’s just about giving thought to how we can make small changes in our lives just a little more sustainable and reduce our impact on the environment.

Last month’s theme challenge was “Upcycle” and I made an DIY Upcycled Bookshelf Bench. For this month theme “Nature” as sustainable as a base to any of our challenge projects, I took seashells from nature and made it into pinecones for Fall theme decor.

Things To Prepare

These fall pinecones are super easy to make and easy-to-find supplies you can get from nature. Let’s see what are the complete super short list supplies that were used to make this DIY Pinecone for Fall :

DIY Fall Gold Seashell Holder

I still stick to my gold theme for fall decorations. This time the gold fall is presented for coastal decor. Some of you may have coastal living which is bounded very close to summer beachy style. However, you may put a little twist that can change the strong coastal feeling on summer to fall ambience; and without eliminating the seaside style of your coastal home. I made a fall decoration of a gold seashell bowl. It’s a multipurpose seashell bowl you can use for holding anything you want; maybe some keys, jewelry, a planter or just simply as it is, an element of fall decor.

It is a simple diy project but the gold seashell bowl does look fantastic to match your coastal fall decor. Since the fall seashell bowl has a simple look, it does apply to the making too, very easy and quick to make. Follow my tutorial and I’m sure you can make one for yourself.

Things To Prepare

You can buy seashells on any craft shop or you may have some stash of seashells like I do. I always collect any seashells whenever I have shellfish menu at home. Just wash it and dry it; and you can keep the seashells for a long time. Anyway, let’s go straight to my list of supplies. Here is the list of supplies to make my DIY Fall Gold Seashells Holder :

Seashells
Gold spray paint
Plastic bowl (you can use any bowl or pot that you like)
Hot glue

How To Make

I’ve been wanted to make a seashells holder since forever. I like the pattern from the overlapping seashells. I actually love both natural and painted look of the seashells. But for the sake of my fall theme, I chose gold painted seashells. Anyway, it’s super easy to make, just follow my steps and you’ll make it. To be clearer, let’s just go to the tutorial on how to make my DIY Fall Gold Seashell Holder :

1 .Clean the seashells and try to separate small to bigger seashells in group. You will need this grouping to get a better proportion look.

2 Glue the seashells one by one from the top of the bowl. Use the smallest group of seashells first, then you can continue it to the bigger and bigger seashells. Glue them by using hot glue gun and arrange them in bond pattern. That way, all the bowl surface will be covered by seashells and the look will be fabulous; like a blooming flower.

3 .Spray gold paint to the seashell bowl evenly. leave it to dry. And you’re done!

This gold seashell holder is added to my fall decoration. Use it for any purpose, from multi-purpose holder, planter to a plain decoration bowl. It would also look great if you put it together with other fall decorations to style your mantel, dining table or even your kitchen table. I’ve made my gold seashell holder, so maybe now it’s your turn to try making your own seashell bowl for fall decor!

Gold color elevates your room decor, the ambience and make a great focal point. Don’t be afraid to use a little gold on your room, just don’t use it too much; less is more. I always believe in that. Anyway, my DIY Fall project this time is an upcycled gold tray that I made from a biscuit can. Let’s check out how I made this simple gold tray.

So, it’s a great diy decoration you can use in any season as long as you have a dash of gold in your room decor theme. Use it to hold a vase, use it to hold some succulents, use it to hold some fake metal fruits, or use it to hold some pine cones or acorns for a fall decor like I did on the picture; where I used my gold acorn made of pistachio’s shells.

Things To Prepare

I love the idea of simple DIYs, simple means easy to find materials; preferred upcycled materials, not using many kind of materials and inexpensive materials. And so does this DIY Upcycled Gold Tray for Fall, it’s a simple and easy to make. Here are a very short list of supplies that you need to prepare to make this Gold Tray:

DIY Pumpkin Shabby Lace – No Sew

Pumpkin is a must ornaments on Fall decor. This time I made an unusual look of a pumpkin. I presented the pumpkin in shabby look by using lace to make the white pumpkin. I think it’s going to look good if you put it together with real white pumpkins. Maybe some of you are fond of white fall decor, then this DIY Pumpkin Shabby Lace would a great Fall DIY without sewing to make. In that case, let’s find out all the materials I used and what are the simple steps to make my shabby white pumpkin in lace.

Things To Prepare

It is a super simple Fall DIY to make and no sewing is needed. Here are the short list of supplies you will be needed to make a DIY Pumpkin Shabby Lace with No Sew :

White lace
White flannel
Pink checkboard ribbon
Pink flower ornament
Baby pink paper straw
UHU glue

How To Make

Fabric project without sewing is super easy and takes a little time to do. Just like my DIY lacey pumpkin. It’s all gluing job, I’m sure you can even ask your daughters to participate. By the way, these are the easy steps to make DIY Pumpkin Shabby Lace with No Sew :

Cut a white flannel into 5 circles from the biggest to the smallest with your desired size. Mine was around 4 inches (10 cm) as the biggest and 2 inches (5 cm) as the smallest.
Glue the lace around each of the flannel circle.
When you finished making the wavy lace around the flannel circles, cut a hole on each lacey circle in the middle by making a plus shape cut. This cut is to allow each lace circle inserted through the paper straw. The paper straw will serve as the structure and the pumpkin stalk. Every time you insert each lacey circle, secure it with glue.
Another thing is, the smallest lace circle is to have a double lace . This is to cover the last flannel circle with lace.
Tie a pink checkboard ribbon and finish it with pink flower ornament by using glue. That’s it, your lace fall pumpkin is finished.

A Fall pumpkin in lacey look would be a new fresh fall decoration or a centerpiece for a fall wedding which you would be easy to make in large amount because it’s so simple to make. And the lace is just scream for wedding! It would look amazing too if you put it together with real white pumpkins in different sizes. Why don’t you give it a try?

DIY Fall Upcycled Jar Gold Vase

Fall decoration I like is usually in white and gold colors. Therefor I make most of my Fall DIYs in gold and white theme. Like this project I just made; it’s a DIY Fall Upcycled Jar Gold Vase. A gold vase made from used mason jar or just regular glass jar. Or you can say a painted mason jar vase. This gold vase with stripes accent is super easy to make, but look at the result, it’s totally brings up the plain glass jar into a different look!

I played a little bit with the colors and pattern on this Fall gold vase. I mixed gold with black and white touch of colors and presented it in stripes pattern look. I also tried to be more creative with sizes of the stripes, so it would not be looking bored. Well, let’s just find out more on supplies that I have to prepare for this Fall DIY and how the simple steps were.

Things To Prepare

This is super inexpensive Fall DIY to make, upcycling used mason jar and some paint and you are ready to start this Fall project. Here are the short list of supplies you will be needed to make a DIY Fall Upcycled Jar Gold Vase :

Glass Jar / Mason Jar
White acrylic paint
Gold acrylic paint
Black acrylic paint
Black marker

How To Make

I mixed the process of painting between spray painting and hand painting. If you have steady hands, you can follow my way, but if you hesitate, use a paper tape to mark the line for painting the stripes. Anyway, these are the easy steps to make DIY Fall Upcycled Jar Gold Vase in stripes :

Make sure the glass / mason jar is clean and free from oil or debris. Then spray paint the jar with gold paint. leave it to dry.
Paint the bottom side with black acrylic paint. You can use paper tape to mark the border line so you will get a straight result. Let it dry before you continue with the white paint.
Paint the next stripe with white acrylic paint. Use a paper tape to watch out for the border lines, above and below. Or you can paint it with steady hand without using any border tape.
The finished stripe is a thin black stripe which I used a black marker to do it. It’s a lot easier for me that way. But you can use paper tape as the stencil and hand painted it with black. That’s it!

Tips : Make sure when you paint by using spray paint; you spray the object in swiping movement, not spray in one spot. By doing the swiping move, the spray paint will evenly cover the object nicely. And keep changing the different sides of the object for more spray until all surface is covered evenly by the paint. But if you spray in spots, usually the sprayed paint will drip and thick looking in spots which will look bad in result.

A Fall gold vase which is so easy and quick to make. This stripes gold vase is great for last minute fall decoration or a centerpiece for a fall wedding which you would be easy to make in large amount because it’s so simple to make. Add some white flowers and the fall gold vase would look amazing for your fall home decor. Let’s give it a try!

Fall is coming soon, many of you are preparing new decorations to spice things up at home. And for those who love to personalized your own decorations, I may have an idea for your Fall DIYs plan. I made an acorn in gold and reconstructive look. I just love the color gold for fall. It’s an easy DIY fall and simple material to used, even recycled material as one of the main supply for this DIY acorn.

My DIY Fall Gold Acorn is one of a different way to present an acorn. It’s a faux acorn that I made from plastic egg and pistachio’s shells. Quick and easy to make, also inexpensive, that is what I love for a seasonal diy decorations. And for this fall gold acorn, you can use it from year to year because acorn is one of the symbol of the fall and you can easily mix it with other ornaments of decorations. The gold acorn can be used as a main star or as a complimentary ornament; it’s up to you to arrange it.

Things To Prepare

I still have some plastic eggs from last Easter and some pistachio’s shells from my Pistachio’s Shells Sunflower project. So, I didn’t need to buy new supplies for this Fall project. I guess, some of you may have the same supplies as mine, and that would be easier for you to follow my tutorial right away. These are the complete list of supplies you will be needed to make a fall gold acorn:

Plastic egg
Pistachio’s shells
Gold paint
Wooden stick
Hot glue

How To Make

The great thing about this pistachio’s shells acorn is that it’s so easy to make and inexpensive for you to make in large amount. So, gather all your supplies I have mentioned before and let’s start to make a gold acorn from pistachio’s shells. And these are the easy steps to make DIY Fall Gold Acorn :

Start with choosing pistachio’s shells and separate them in sizes. Take the bigger size group of pistachio’s shells and glue it one by one onto the plastic egg by using hot glue. Position the shells around the middle of the egg and the bigger part of the egg that will be fully covered by pistachio’s shells.
Continue to glue pistachio’s shells one by one, row by row all the way up to the top of the egg. And while the glue is still hot and melt, insert a small wooden stick in the middle top. It would look like a stalk. Let it dry before you move on to painting work.
Use a gold spray paint and spray it evenly to the pistachio’s shells acorn. Wait until it’s dried. Finished!

DIY Fall White Maple Tree

Couple of days ago I made a fall maple tree out of a cardboard. I painted it with fall colors of a real maple tree. Then I thought to my self, why don’t I paint the other side of the cardboard maple tree with clean white. A different look from real fall colors maple tree to modern minimalist maple tree. I added the word fall to give a contrast, white against black. So this maple tree become two sided decoration with two different style to match your fall theme.

Things To Prepared

Things to prepared for making this upcycle diy fall maple tree are:

Cardboard
White spray paint
Black marker
Glue

How To Make

Easy steps to turn cardboard into a pretty fall maple tree decoration are:

Draw different shapes of the maple tree on cardboard and then cut it. Make 7 sheets, less or more sheets depend on the thickness of the cardboard you have. Make it thick enough to be able to stand.
Glue all sheets together to form a fall maple tree that able to stand. Let it dry.
Since, I made this maple tree before, so I just use the other side of the glued cardboard maple tree for this project.
Paint the cardboard maple tree with white spray paint. Let it dry.
Draw the word Fall with black maker. Let it dry.

DIY Fall Maple Tree From Cardboard

I’ve found so many cardboard on my storage. I had to do something with it instead of just throw it on the garbage. So first thing I think of was making a fall diy of maple tree from those cardboard.

Maple tree is a beautiful tree; it has a distinguish shape of maple leaf and amazing colors that changing over the seasons. I tried to capture those beautiful colors of maple tree during fall season. And I made an abstract shape of the tree.

Things to prepared for making this upcycle diy fall maple tree are:

Cardboard
Watercolors (red, yellow, orange, green, brown) – fall colors
Poster color in white
Glue

Easy steps to turn cardboard into a pretty fall maple tree decoration are:

Draw different shapes of the maple tree on cardboard and then cut it. Make 7 sheets, less or more sheets depend on the thickness of the cardboard you have. Make it thick enough to be able to stand.

DIY Fall Sparkle Maple Leaf Decoration

One of the best feature of Fall is the sparkle golden look of maple trees. The fall colors that come together makes it looked amazing. I try to imitate the fall leaf colors on a maple leaf. I made a super easy DIY fall of sparkle maple leaf for my fall decoration from simply gems stickers.

Last time I have painted a quote painting of Fall leaf and I still inspired to do a fall maple leaf in different way and look. Therefore, I thought of doing an easy fall leaf diy that anyone can do by using gems stickers. It’s an easy fall diy anyone can follow, no need drawing or painting skill but the result is something you can proudly display anywhere in your home.

Things To Prepare

Well, let’s see what do you need to prepare to make this easy fall diy sparkle maple leaf decoration :

Gems stickers ( shades of gold, brown, and silver)
Balsa sticks for the frame
Acrylic paint in white
Wood plank (I used the back of my Hello Fall Sign, so it became two sided fall decoration)
Glue

How To Make

This is actually a two sided Fall decoration; I used the back of my previous Fall sign project. How to make this easy fall diy from gem stickers? Let me explain the sparkle maple leaf decoration process in step to step, below:

I painted the wood panel with white acrylic paint. Leave it dry.
Cut and glue the balsa sticks which serve as the frame. Let it dry. You can also use ready-to-use frame decoration you can find at craft store.
Sketch or trace a maple leaf on the framed painted panel with a pencil.
Stick the gems stickers on the leaf inner line. Combine all shapes and colors of fall to create the maple leaf into a sparkling gold colors of fall. This is where your creativity take control. Finished!!!

Super easy and fun Fall DIY, am I right? You can even ask your daughter and grand daughter to help you with sticking the gems stickers part; I’m sure they would love to take part. Perfect quick Fall DIY to celebrate Fall. You can place this sparkle maple leaf fall decoration anywhere in your home to match your Fall theme decor.
