This time of year always brings the DIY out in me. DIY is always fun and fall decor ideas seem to be popping up everywhere. Its a wonderful time of year and the changing seasons need new home décor. Decorating can be so expensive, so recycling old decor is top of the list. And while there’s nothing more creative than using what you’ve got why not use something that is plentiful and free.

1. DIY Fall Decor Welcome Sign

You can use a small chalkboard to write your message and simply decorate the edges of it with leaves.
2. Wreath
A wreath and a welcome sign often go hand in hand. For fall a wreath made from real or artificial sticks and decorated with leaves in autumn colors is perfect. The leaves can be real or cut outs.
Or you can always completely change your color scheme and go metallic.

1. If you love art and looking something for your mantel use real leaves (or fake if you prefer) to create a giant leaf on a piece of wood. Oversize pieces make great statement pieces.
2. Create an installation using one leaf on one piece of white paper or cardstock. Do this a number of times until you have enough to decorate a wall area or hang create a mobile. Create your leaf prints using real leaves, acrylic paint, waxed paper & a paint roller.
3. Create a garland. There are a few ways to do this. You can peg them together on string, layering different fabrics and materials.
