Home Decor, Things to do in October

Prayers to all in harm’s way from Hurricane Matthew…

It seems like everyone is wondering, “Where did September go?”

Here are fast ways to bring autumn into your home and fun things to do in October

Make a statement with a simple pumpkin stack

Outside or Inside

Make a decoration for your door or entryway with a basket or wreath and some fall stems

Plant a Harvest Tree inside

And light it up!

Make a double duty autumn table runner with faux pumpkins, vegetables, and other dried items to enjoy now and it will last through Thanksgiving

The ceramic pumpkin is sitting in a large moss green shallow bowl

The bowl is set into an autumn wreath of berries and leaves

Additional loose faux leaves, faux pumpkins and vegetables are set on top of a rustic burlap type runner

A grapevine wheelbarrow holds fall bounty and wooden owls peek out

Don’t forget the chandy

But watch out for flying witches!

Put some color in your planters with some quick “gardening”

Some orange sparkle mesh ribbon makes a comfy nest for a big pumpkin

Don’t forget the bedrooms when you are adding fall touches

Use colored pasta in a candle base or vase to add fall color

A candle or two can add instant ambiance and fragrance

Especially on a decorative tray

Like this easy to make Gold Glamour Tray

A few baubles and pieces of costume jewelry glued on a white tray with a gold dot trim, perfect for displaying Gold Leaf Glasses

Make a  lantern vignette with pumpkins and gourds

 

Assorted paper orbs and grapevine balls fill this coastal fall themed lantern

You can’t beat a basket of apples to bring in the feel of fall…

If you’re not confident with painting letters or candy corn, try using the dot method, it’s simple, fun and effective.  See more on Paint Dot Pillows and Candy Corn

Make a Halloween or Fall Treat Basket for a special friend or hostess with a fun basket and assorted fall goodies

If you don’t want to do a Halloween theme, fill it with apples, cinnamon and cider, faux autumn leaves, mini pumpkins, maybe a recipe for apple pie

It’s a good thing October has 31 days!
