Craft Your DIY Autumn Leaf Fairy Lights

For an effortless, enjoyable, and budget-friendly way to infuse your home with autumn's charm, this DIY project is a must-try. You'll need a string of fairy lights, a collection of beautiful fall leaves, waxed paper, and some glue. Preserving the leaves is a cinch, and we've chosen the quickest method. Simply sandwich each leaf between two sheets of wax paper and apply a hot iron for a few seconds until the leaves are well-coated.

Once your leaves are prepped, use a strong adhesive like Uhu glue to attach them in front of each light bulb on the fairy lights. Hang them on your banister, inside a window, in front of a mirror, or showcase them in a clear vase.

String Art Yarn Leaf Pumpkins for Kids

This project, featuring simple leaf designs, is a fantastic DIY activity, even suitable for young children. The best part? You can leave the hammer behind since pumpkins are more forgiving than wood. Here's how it works: delicately trace a leaf shape on a pumpkin, choosing from various options like maple or oak leaves. Gently insert 3/4" nails into the pumpkin at the leaf's points and dips. Wrap colorful yarn around the nails to fill in the leaf's center.

Introduce additional nails about an inch apart along the leaf's central line and wrap them with a second yarn color to create intricate "veining." Finish the masterpiece by outlining the leaf using a third yarn color, wrapping it around the outer nails.

Set the Table With Some Tansy Flowers

Using flowers as decor might seem boring or overdone, but trust us, you can never go wrong with some gorgeous flowers! Our tip is to use plenty of tansy flowers because they capture the fall vibe. Collect the flowers you like and place them in a vase or water-filled jar, ensuring the stems are immersed in water to keep them fresh. To add an extra rustic charm, wrap a rope or twine around the vase or jar.

These easy and affordable tansy flower decorations add a touch of natural elegance to your Thanksgiving decor.
