Bring the outdoors in with this simple project. Take a nature walk and round up some acorns – don’t forget to bake them to dry them out and get rid of any unwanted house guests. Once they’ve cooled, add a few coats of acrylic paint or nail polish. Try a single color for a classic, monochrome look, or a glossy metallic shade for a modern twist. Then, proudly display your handiwork in a clear vase or bowl for all to admire.

Adorable Beeswax Pumpkin Candles

It doesn’t get any cuter than this. Pick up a few mini pumpkins next time you’re at the grocery store and make these sweet little candles in under an hour. First, prep them like you would for carving – remove the tops and scoop the insides clean. While you’re doing this, melt down some beeswax in a double boiler (or you can use some old candles if you have them on hand). Once the wax is melted, hold the wick in place and slowly pour the wax up to the top. Allow 8-12 hours to cool completely. Then, light and enjoy the warm orange glow!

This simple banner will adorn your mantle with all that is autumn in no time. Round up some leaves – fake or real will do. Just be sure to press the real ones under a few heavy books for a day or two to prevent curling. Find an old or damaged book you don’t mind parting with and cut out some basic leaf shapes for layering. Clip the leaves to some twine with clothespins and you’re done!
