Fall is officially upon us, but is your apartment ready? If your place needs a little sprucing up for the sweater weather season, we’ve got just the thing for you. Check out these easy-to-do DIY crafts and get your apartment in the fall spirit.
1. Fall Spice Candles
The best part of fall is (arguably) the crisp air coming through an open window and the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin wafting through the house. Make your whole apartment smell like delicious baked goods with this DIY pumpkin pie spice candle. The best part? You don’t have to bake a single thing to get the house smelling like fall.
2. Pine Cone Centerpiece
Pine cones smell fresh and woodsy, but they also add a cute, decorative touch to any space. Go on a hike in the actual woods to find a few fresh ones or head to Michaels and grab some faux scented pine cones. Place a few on your kitchen table and light your pumpkin pie candle to complete the centerpiece. It’ll evoke those fall season vibes and instantly make you feel cozy while binging Netflix all weekend long.
3. Seasonal Banner
Your fireplace mantle wants to feel the fall lovin’ too, so follow the instructions for this DIY banner and celebrate all things fall.
4. Rustic Fall Wreath
If you’re the type of person who loves hanging a festive wreath on your door to welcome visitors, you’re not alone. Custom make one and add your own unique touch! Customize it with different leaves gathered from outside, your choice of material to hang it on the door, and anything else you want to add to this affordable, yet festive, wreath.
5. Canning Jar Pumpkin
If you’re a mason jar lover and have lots of extra lids lying around, consider making them into a pumpkin. With this easy, DIY craft, all you have to do is string the lids together and add some cinnamon sticks for the stem. And just like that, you’ve crafted your own pumpkin out of household objects.
6. Create-Your-Own Fall Mug
‘Tis the season for hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and, of course, Pumpkin Spice Lattes. You’re definitely going to want a great mug to use for all of them. Personalize yours by painting it with leaves in fall colors to get even more into the fall spirit! We also love this more advanced DIY craft; make it say whatever you want by buying personalized designs and fonts on Etsy.
7. DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte
Maybe you don’t feel like spending $6 on your daily Starbucks trip, or maybe you want to have your PSL available to you at all hours. Whatever your reason, you want to make your own swoon-worthy cup. Well, you’re in luck. You only need a few ingredients and, once the syrup is made, you can store it in a cute canning jar and make it a fall kitchen decoration.
And don’t forget the sweets…
Nothing screams fall more than pumpkin baked goods, so here are a few of our favorite recipes. Try this pumpkin bread recipe or these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies. Feeling healthy-ish? Try making this pumpkin baked oatmeal or these Gluten-FreePumpkin, Oat, and Cranberry Cookies. Make any of these goodies and your house will smell incredible (not to mention, you’ll be full of pumpkiny goodness).
