Most fall DIY projects are unsurprisingly created around pumpkins, the falling leaves and all things nature-centric.

With that in mind, here are 11 delightful and relatively easy fall crafting ideas that should give your home an instant, festive makeover –

Creative Pumpkin Crafts for Fall

Fall and pumpkins are an inseparable couple and it should not come as a surprise to anyone that they top the most popular Fall DIY list pretty much every season. This season, think of something far more brilliant and striking with a project like the sparkling DIY Marquee Light Letter Pumpkins. The best part about this awesome DIY is that you can even use the individual pumpkins beyond fall in various rooms of your house as a statement addition! If crafting a lighting fixture seems like far too much, then the fall floral planter crafted from pumpkins is a much easier alternative.

Easy and Elegant Fall Wreaths

Nothing says fall is here like a neighborhood where doors are decorated ever so beautifully with a lovely wreath. Sure, as Halloween comes around the colors and motifs change to eerie, but for now a vivacious wreath full of color and fall goodness is the way to go. We absolutely love the pastel brilliance of paper leaf ombre wreaths and they sure are bound to steal the spotlight and turn heads as people drive by. Not interested in pastels? Then give the DIY Paper leaf wreath we discovered on Polka Dot Chair a shot – it is breezy, charming and has a certain timeless aura about it.

Vibrant Fall Tablescapes

Fall is when the endless series of dinners with family, friends and even just acquaintances just starts. Some we love and most we just endure and try to survive in one piece! But if you are the host of these amazing Fall parties, then then perfect tablescape goes a long way in getting things right. There are few DIY ideas that are as colorful, beautiful and just fabulous as the painted pine cone table runner and this one is an absolute visual treat! The best part of course is how you can get everyone from your family involved in creating this effervescent masterpiece. The gorgeous candle and leaves centerpiece is a much more common guest at the fall table but is equally impressive and incandescent.

Colorful and Creative Fall Crafts

Finally, we have a couple of cheerful DIYs that perfectly epitomize fall at its radiant best and while one involves felt, the other is more rustic with its woodsy charm. The DIY pumpkin tree stump welcome sign is one of our personal favorites as it has everything a fall DIY needs – something natural, something orange and a hint of leafy goodness! And in case you cannot get your hands on a lovely little slice of tree stump, then the fall leaves garland crafted using felt leaves is an absolute must-try.
