Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party #443! I’m Niki from Life as a LEO Wife, and I’ll be choosing the party features for the month of September. I’m so glad that you’re here to inspire and be inspired by all of the greatness shared on this week’s party! If you missed last week’s party, you can check it out here.
This Week’s Features
This Book Page Apple by Laura over at Me & My Inklings would be an adorable gift to give to your child’s teacher on the first day of school.
Niky over at The House on Silverado shared her tips for creating a beautiful fall porch. You have to go check out her entire outdoor area, because the picture below doesn’t capture all of it. You’ll be inspired to create a lovely space of your own!
How cute is this fall book page leaf garland made by Mary Jo of Master”pieces” of My Life?! She created it during the 2020 school year when her daughter was having to do remote learning. We all remember what a nightmare that was! The garland was a great way to bring school and fall together. I love all of the different shapes of leaves in it!
Debbee of Debbee’s Buzz made this lovely fall twig wreath for her son’s new apartment. I love how unique the twig base is, and I’m going to be on the lookout for my own! Her son must’ve taken after his mom, because he has excellent taste in decor. You have to go check out his new penthouse. You would think it was styled by professionals!
Can you believe that Halloween is just a month away? This adorable witch gnome created by Lindsay at Artsy Fartsy Mama is on my list of must haves this year. He’ll be my first foray into gnome decor. Someone finally won me over!

Halloween is over and we are moving onto Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) That usually means great recipes, lovely table settings, decor and pumpkin ideas. With that in mind, I picked some fall and Thanksgiving ideas. On to the features:
Happy Halloween, and welcome to Happiness is Homemade! We’re so glad you’re here to share and explore with us. All of you talented bloggers have yet again made it so hard to choose only a handful to be featured. So, let’s get started!
Since today is Halloween, I had to choose one last Halloween post. This garden party by Hyacinths for the Soul is bear-y cute! Sarah set up a fun and treat filled afternoon for her great-nieces both inside and outside her home. Sarah had hot chocolate, Oreos, and Halloween teddy bears for her nieces, and I’m sure they loved it!
I had to choose this refinished dresser by our own Beverly at Eclectic Red Barn. Beautiful make-over project indeed!
We have one more month to decorate our homes for fall, and Denise at My Home of All Seasons has some great inspiration for us to decorate with our fall baskets. I love the ways that she used six of her baskets to bring fall into her home. There are also some great tips in the post for how to fill your baskets without having to find a ton of items to put in them.
Thanksgiving is almost here which means it’s time to slow down and begin to think of all of the things we have to be thankful for this year. Carol at Blue Sky at Home made a stenciled wood sign that lists things that we can all be grateful for. In her post she gives a step-by-step tutorial for painting and making your own beautiful sign that you can customize to fit your family and home!
Our final feature this month is this gorgeously styled Thanksgiving tiered-tray by Lori at Dining Delight. She is from Canada, where they have already had their Thanksgiving day. We in the US get the benefit of that, because we can use her tray as inspiration for our own tiered-trays and vignettes. I love how she used items like bowls to lift up the houses and pumpkins so that you can see everything on the tray.

Gold color for fall is the best color to me; it looks sophisticated and classy. And this project is to upcycling my old mug into something classy gold. Yes, it’s a gold candle holder for fall decor! It’s super easy and quick to make. the key to get the nicest look for this mug – candle holder is to use an unique shape mug. My mug is unique to me because it has contoured shape, it has texture. And it looks great with painted in gold because the contour reflects the gold color more than a plain shape. That is why I save this old mug which I don’t use it anymore as it has some hairline cracks on the inner surface. Since, fall is coming, this gold candle holder would be a great addition to fall decoration collection. Scroll down to see how I made it!
Things To Prepare
You can always be creative with things that you have at home. You can replace things I use with things that you have at home. Find similar things that look like things that I use is the key. LIke for example, you can use a can mug instead of ceramic mug like mine. Anyway, let’s go straight to my list of supplies. Here is the list of supplies to make my DIY Candle Holder For Fall Decor :
Old mug
Gold spray paint
Old bronze mini candle holder
Silicone glue
How To Make
It is super easy to make, it’s only took some painting and gluing works. And the more unique your old mug is, the more beautiful your candle holder will be. To be clearer, let’s just go to the tutorial on how to make my DIY Candle Holder For Fall Decor :
1 .Clean the old mug and the old bronze mini candle holder; make sure it’s really clean for good painting result.
2 .Spray gold paint to the old mug evenly. Let it dry.
3 Glue the gold painted mug into the bronze mini candle holder by using silicone glue. Let it dry and firm. Done! as simple as that!
Now, the gold candle holder will be ready as my fall decoration. Put it together with other fall decorations to style your mantel, or dining table or even your kitchen table. I put together the gold fall candle holder together with my fall gold acorn and my white popsicle sticks pumpkin. It looks nice altogether. Well then, find your most unique mug and turn it into a nice fall candle holder like mine for your coming fall decor!

It’s October and still celebrating Fall or Autumn season. Still haven’t late to decor your home with Fall theme. Under budget and easy decor must be the greatest choice for decorating your home in this situation. In that case, don’t miss the recent Redfin article I was featured in: “20 Easy Fall DIY Decor Ideas that You’ll Absolutely Love“.
With leaves on the ground and pumpkin spice lattes in hand — there’s no doubt that fall is in full swing. One of our favorite things about this time of year is all the traditions that come with it, like roasting marshmallows by your backyard fire pit or watching scary movies. But nothing makes it feel like the new season is upon us like decorating our homes with festive, fall decor.
Whether it’s gathering materials from your yard to create warm-colored tablescapes or visiting your local craft store to make a DIY fall wreath, there are many creative and easy ways to embrace autumn in your home. To help inspire your seasonal decorating, Redfin reached out to experts for our most creative — yet simple — fall home decor projects. So before the cold temperatures approach and you have to prepare your home for winter, here are 20 easy fall DIY decor projects you need to try out this season:
1. Shop your home to create a beautiful fall tablescape
Creating fall tablescapes can be as simple as pulling from what is around you. Scour your home for different textures and linens, forage your backyard for flowers and sticks, and bring it all together with small pumpkins and a few candles. Stick to what you love and keep it simple. – Arrows and Bow
2. DIY seasonal felt flower wreath
Start with a foam wreath and wrap it with yarn. Make a variety of felt flowers and attach a bobby pin to each. Then, adorn the wreath with the felt flowers for whatever season you want. – Vicky Barone
3. Easily create fall DIY decor with items you already own
Adding seasonal decor doesn’t have to break the bank. By pulling together items you already own with warm earth tones and adding a few natural elements, you can bring the season of fall indoors. In my kitchen, I used a wooden tray to hold a vase with branches I cut from a tree in my backyard, a simple glass pumpkin, and an autumn scented candle. – Building Bluebird
4. DIY faux pumpkin arrangement
To create this easy fall DIY decor, you’ll first need to buy a faux pumpkin and floral stems. Then cut out a small circle around the stem of the pumpkin and remove the stem to expose the styrofoam. Finally, assemble the flowers by poking the end of the stems into the foam, filling in around the pumpkin center. If styrofoam shows, you can conceal it with green moss. – The Home Envy
5. A rustic DIY candlestick holder
Candles give off such a cozy vibe, and a special scent for all of your spaces. This rustic DIY candlestick holder has to be one of my favorite DIY decor projects to date. Taper candlesticks are fun to change out for each season to add to your table, mantle, or any vignette. – The Curated Farmhouse
6. Illuminate your fresh DIY fall tablescape
Create a tablescape using what’s fresh and in season this fall. Using a table runner (either a cream or white color), place warm decorative winter squash, pomegranate, lemons, limes, fallen leaves, and fresh acorns/pinecones-foliage strewn down the table. Illuminate your fall DIY decor display with various fall color votive candles placed throughout the fall items. – Bringing It Home
7. The perfect DIY fall mantle
I just can’t get enough fall, so much that I decided that I wanted it to be exploding out of our fireplace. Use a pallet to create this super simple and super custom mantle centerpiece, then accessorize with your favorite lanterns, faux succulents, pumpkins, leaves, and decorative ribbon. – From Scratch With Maria
8. Create a fall centerpiece
Centerpieces that are either set on a table in your entryway or on your kitchen or dining room table are always a nice conversational piece for guests. You can either pick some tree limbs that have some autumn leaves on them to put in a vase, get a few mini-pumpkins and pears and put them in a big glass bowl, or purchase some golden gingko to serve as an accent for a couple of bottles of wine on a place setting. – Mommy’s Memorandum
9. Copper-dripped pumpkins
Here is a fun and easy no-carve pumpkin decor idea. Take a foam craft pumpkin, paint it white, and drip glue and metallic spray paint on the top. It is a beautiful way to add a little glam to your fall decorations. – Practical Whimsy Designs
10. Fall DIY decor: teardrop swag for your door
Create a welcoming front porch this fall by adding a cozy teardrop swag to your front door. Start with a greenery teardrop base and secure a bow at the top, weaving ribbon throughout the base. Use focal points such as pumpkins or a sign and add picks to create fullness throughout. – Decorator’s Warehouse
11. Make a dollar tree fall splatter screen pumpkin
Take 3 Dollar Tree splatter screens (cut the handles off of 2 of them) and cover them with the fabric of your choice. Hot glue them together in the shape of a pumpkin with the screen that has a handle on top. Wrap the handle with twine. Embellish with a flower and line the edges of the screens with mop strings. – The Maker’s Map
12. DIY fall sparkle maple leaf decoration
Use a wooden frame base to make a fall sparkle maple leaf decoration. Draw an outline of a maple leaf and paste fall-colored gem stickers. Be creative with the shapes, shades, and arrangement of the gem stickers to get a beautiful fall sparkle maple leaf. – Decor Craft Design
13. Metallic foil pumpkins
Have some fun and decorate your pumpkins a little differently this year with foil. Foiling a pumpkin is easier than you think. Grab any fake pumpkin (or real) and paint it with primer/paint, then add a layer of foil adhesive and allow it to dry. Then choose one of the many different metallic foils and transfer the foil to the surface. – Artistic Painting Studio
14. Repurpose outdoor items for your festive centerpiece
As the days shorten and the weather starts to cool, entertaining makes a move indoors. Empty the terracotta pots from your patio (or any container), bring them inside to repurpose as a casual and charming candlestick collection on your dining room table. Flip them upside down, place the saucers on top, and set a wide pillar candle in the saucer. Tuck fall leaves and a few gourds or small pumpkins between the candlesticks. And just like that, you have a festive centerpiece to celebrate the season in style. – Kehoe Designs
15. Mop head fall pumpkin decor
You can create this super cute fall DIY decor by using a simple mophead and styrofoam pumpkin from the dollar store. Glue the mop head in sections onto your pumpkin and embellish with a stick from the yard for the stem. Easiest project ever. – Southern Crush at Home
16. A stenciled wooden centerpiece
To celebrate the bounty of the season and fall’s display of color, adorn your fall table with a wooden plaque stenciled on each end with a beautiful cornucopia design, a symbol of abundance and nourishment. To stencil your wooden plaque, simply lay the cornucopia stencil on top of the plaque and secure with painter’s tape, apply craft paint to desired areas, and remove the stencil to reveal the design. As a finishing touch, display candles and other decor atop the plaque. – The Artful Stencil
17. An easy fall DIY decor idea: a farmhouse wreath
Create a farmhouse wreath using bleached drop cloth for the perfect fall door decor. Simply bleach (or not) drop cloth, cut into 1-1/2”x9” strips, and tie onto wire wreath form. – The Birch Cottage
18. Easy fall DIY decor: candy corn vases
Candy Corn vases are a simple fall DIY decor idea you can make in minutes. Plus, you can reuse the vases from season to season. Fill vases with water beads in candy corn colors of clear, yellow, and orange. Then add jack-o-lantern faces or “BOO” cut from black vinyl by hand or with an electronic cutting machine like a Cricut. – Smart Fun DIY
19. A quick fall DIY decor idea using faux leather
Fall decor is all about the warm autumn colors and textures. A quick tip would be to buy some strips of faux leather and, using brass tacks, tack on the leather strip to a white or wooden picture frame. This layered look can add a warm-colored texture to a stark white frame – Colors and Craft
20. Create a decorative scarecrow using recycled materials
Find a board and round the top edges and cut out a stem at the top center. Paint the lower part and the top orangey/brown to resemble a pumpkin and the stem green. Decorate the scarecrow with hair using yarn and then add a band to cover the hair. Paint on a face, make a nose, and attach a silk flower above the band. For the final touch to your fall DIY scarecrow, add a bow and paint the letters “FALL” down the lower front. – Eclectic Red Barn
Side table is as much important as any table in a home, especially when your side table is on the sitting room where you entertain your guest or on the foyer where you receive the guest. Therefore, to have a remembered thanksgiving dinner party, you should hot forget your side table decor. And moreover, the side table decor for thanksgiving must be aligned with your fall home decor.
I arranged some of my fall and thanksgiving decorations in one white square side table at the foyer where I put the seating tags for thanksgiving dinner. This setting is a mixed of fall colors and a slightly winter colors, since it’s a month of almost seasonal transition. Gold and natural wood colors of fall mixed with shades of blue and white of winter colors. And amazingly it worked well together. This taught me not to scare to mix calm, natural colors with glimmering color like gold for a decor.
These are the list of all the decoration items I used for the fall & thanksgiving side table :
The first four are the decorations I have posted before on how to make it and the last two was the ones I showed in this post. The crepe wrapped pumpkin is an emergency pumpkin I made from a vase that I wrapped with white crepe paper. And the crepe paper flower was made from white crepe paper that I have applied with gold glitter.
So, use whatever you have to decor your side table to celebrate thanksgiving and to get the fall ambience. Just add this and that to complete the look. No need expensive decorations to have a beautiful seasonal decor, so you can have a different look every year without spending much money. Happy fall and thanksgiving!
