A lot of people pass by our dorm so it's always nice to spread the Fall spirit.

Here are some fun-spooky-nature-family-fun DIYs!

NOW FOR THE DIYS!

______________________________________

Autumn Jars! I just grabbed some fake Fall-colored leaves & placed them into some clear jars. It is simple & is great for putting supplies on your desk.

Signs of Fall! My mom got this at Walmart. I hung it outside my dorm door. It only took me about five minutes! I just drew some leaves with chalk & now I have a decorative sign on my door!

Fall Leaf Tree! I came up with this idea while trying to figure out what to do with some extra fake leaves. I grabbed a branch & taped it along the stand of the lamp. I also placed some leaves through the holes in the top of the lamp to make the "tree" look more full.

Popsicle Stick Characters! I saw a similar idea online where they made the Scarecrow a magnet. I changed it up & made a Frankenstein & Ghost so that they could be hanged on twine.

I got some regular acrylic paint, scissors, & googly eyes.
I used twine & the Halloween pins to allow them to be hanged.

Fall Wreaths + Decorative Pine Cones! I grabbed these at Walmart one day. Pumpkins were only about $3-5. Popsicle sticks and googly eyes were about $1. And I also got some Autumn-designed mesh.

I used foam poster board to cut out a circle & I wrapped mesh around it!
Painting Pine Cones! I grabbed some pine cones in my front yard. (I recommend cleaning them) My sister and I painted them with of course paint, glitter and metallic spray paint!
I spray painted some tiny acorns, pot-stickers & glued some nuts to my wreath. I put this one on the inside of our dorm door.

This is the front door of my family's house. My mom actually made this wreath (she was inspired by Pinterest). I just love all the different colors & items.

Spooky Decor! I got decorative clothespins. They are orange with black polka dots (Halloween-y:O booooo!). My mom had some extra twine. I grabbed extra pics & hung them up on our dorm window!

I also got some pine cones from my house & brought them to our dorm for decoration!

Hand Print Turkey w/Stickers! I had so many different ideas for decorating pumpkins. From Washi tape to glitter, decorating pumpkins is one of the most fun things to do in Fall. I carved pumpkins last year & it was a lot of work to preserve and carve the pumpkins. So I thought what would be something super simple and easy to make that also shows the festive spirit?

And so I decided to make a hand print turkey! I added some cute stickers & I'm done!

All you need is a few colors and a paint brush & you're set!

My family has a cabinet filled with tons of extra art supplies & I found these random holiday stickers! I put some on my desk & I think it's fun to look down and see the cute stickers.

P.S. Also,

We got pumpkin-smelling wax! It makes our whole room smell like Thanksgiving!

Look at these huge pine cones!

The two on the right are from a trip we took last year & they are huge! The far left pine cone is a normal sized pine cone I found in my front yard. I place a couple of the huge pine cones on my desk for decoration.
