Chilly weather has settled in around our Flagstaff, Arizona, apartments! It’s time to liven up your space with chocolate browns, radiant golds, and scarlet reds to reflect the changing of the seasons. If you’re feeling a little crafty this autumn season, here are a few DIY craft ideas you can use to help put your space into an autumn mood!

Fall Arts & Crafts Projects 

Leaf Garland

If you’re looking for a fun way to utilize your fabric scraps, this leaf garland could offer your apartment the perfect DIY accessory as fall settles in. If you have old T-shirts, blankets, and towels lying around, dye them, so they reflect fall-inspired shades and cut them into the shapes of leaves. You can also easily find leftover material at any fabric store that is too small for big projects, but perfect for this type of DIY design.

Painted Acorns

Trying to find the perfect centerpiece for your dining room table? Painted acorns quickly transition boring clear glass bowls into brightly colored creations that scream autumn. Head to the thrift store to find unique containers that come in autumn-inspired shapes to maximize the impact of this craft.

Bedazzled Gourds

If bland browns and earthy tones aren’t really your thing, you can still incorporate this season’s most notable decorative pieces while adding a stylish flair that people without big personalities simply wouldn’t dare. Bedazzled gourds put bling into everyday garden veggies. You can create intricate patterns, or just go nuts with the glitter and glue. There is no wrong way to make a pumpkin look pretty.

Mason Jar Fall Luminary

As daylight starts to become more scarce, fall welcomes the soft light that comes from Mason jar luminaries. This simple idea can be used for any occasion, and the end result makes for a beautiful gift, too.
