fall decor using children’s crafts

When the leaves start to turn brilliant shades of red and gold and a crisp chill fills the air, it can only mean one thing – fall is here!

Also, with the changing of the seasons comes the perfect opportunity to fill your home with cozy warmth and festive charm.

What better way to celebrate this magical time of year than by incorporating your fall decor using children’s crafts?

Fall is a season that brings families together, whether it’s pumpkin carving, or cozying up by the fire making smores. 

Why not extend that sense of togetherness into your home decor?

By involving your children in creating DIY fall decorations you add a personal touch to your space.

You also create lasting memories that will be cherished for years to come.

Here are some fun and easy fall decor ideas using your children’s crafts:

leaf garland

Gather fallen leaves from your backyard or local park and have your children paint them in vibrant fall colors.
 
You ca also sprinkle natural red and yellow fall leaves in between the painted ones for a different effect.
 
String the leaves together to create a beautiful garland that can be draped over a mantel, staircase, or window.
 

handprint wreath

Trace your children’s hands on colorful construction paper and cut them out to create handprint leaves.
 
Have your children arrange and glue the handprints in a circular pattern on a cardboard ring.
 
Also, have your child write their name on the back along with the year it was made. You can add a bow or ribbon for a finishing touch.
 

pinecone critters

Go on a nature walk with your children to collect pinecones, acorns, sticks, and other natural materials.

Use these items to create adorable critters like hedgehogs, owls, and squirrels. Add googly eyes, felt, and pipe cleaners to bring your critters to life.

pumpkin patch

Transform plain orange pumpkins into works of art with the help of your little artists.

Set up a painting station with acrylic paints and brushes and let your children unleash their creativity.

Also, you can decorate pumpkins with glitter and inexpensive items from the craft store to make fun designs and patterns.

mason jar lanterns

Repurpose empty mason jars by having your children paint them with different colors of glass paint.

Place tea lights or LED candles inside the jars to create a warm and inviting glow.

Remember, the key to successful DIY fall decor with your children’s crafts is to let their creativity shine.

Encourage them to experiment with colors, textures, and shapes, and don’t worry about perfection. 

It’s the imperfections that make these decorations truly special.

I am the designer, writer and diy’er behind this blog. I enjoy decorating my home for practically nothing by doing most of the work myself, finding new and imaginative ways to make it beautiful and by watching for killer sales. I find humor almost anywhere and can laugh at myself through it all. I have learned that most projects don’t go exactly as intended, but can be more beautiful than the original plan.
