DIY Aged Terracotta Pots
Begin your autumn-inspired DIY journey by adding some rustic charm to your home with aged terracotta pots. You'll need terracotta pots, paint in autumn hues, a sealer, and a brush. Start by applying a thin layer of paint on the pot. Once dried, use a dry brush to lightly apply a second layer, leaving patches of the first layer to show through. Finally, apply a sealer to protect your work. You can fill these pots with fall plants or use them as decorative pieces.

What better way to welcome autumn than by decorating your home with vibrant fall leaves? For this project, you'll need faux fall leaves, twine, and a hot glue gun. Simply apply a dab of hot glue to the back of the leaf and press it onto the twine. Repeat the process, spacing the leaves evenly. Hang your garland around your fireplace or on your walls for a festive look.

Let it cool, and enjoy your homemade autumn-scented candle.
DIY Fall Wreath
A fall wreath on your front door is a classic way to celebrate the season. For this project, you'll need a grapevine wreath, faux fall leaves, pinecones, berries, and a hot glue gun.

Now you have a festive wreath that will welcome visitors all season long.
