Autumn is officially upon us. What isn’t there to love about fall? Warm drinks, cozy sweaters, beautiful fall colors, cooler weather, and family holidays are all fabulous features that make it better than the rest of the year. We are going to help you get into the fall spirit with some fun of the best fall projects and recipes!

Nothing says fall quite like warm drinks, and sweet deserts like apple and pumpkin pie! Pumpkin spice is everywhere and it is incorporated into just about every food and drink item you can imagine. But we’ve picked a few of our favorites for you to try at home!

DIY Projects for FALL

One of our favorite seasonal projects is this fall door sign that you can easily make! While the tutorial calls for an old tray, you can easily use a ready-made chalk-board, or any other piece of wood you might have and cover it in chalk board paint. You can find the leaves and berries for the garland at your local craft store, along with the chalk board paint!

The best part about fall is incorporating seasonal items, like pumpkins and gourds into your décor. Southern Living has an easy tutorial for creating a pumpkin and gourd wreath to add seasonal flair to your home.

This is how it is done:


 

Another one of our favorite things to do for fall is to paint and decorate pumpkins and funky different ways! StyleCaster has 25 ways to decorate a pumpkin and one of our favorites is from The Farmer’s Daughter and it shows you how to create dip-dye glitter pumpkins!
