Looking for a way to decorate your home for Autumn on a budget?  Take a look at these great decorating ideas!

Autumn provides a bounty of decorating ideas. No need to decorate

for fall with cheap, plastic, fake items when the real thing is

inexpensive, more tasteful, and easily creates a beautiful fall

ambiance in your home. Here are 13 ideas that you can easily do.

 

1. Use a taller pumpkin as a vase for fresh flowers. Clean out

the guts and seeds and use the pumpkin to arrange your flowers.

Taller ones work well, but so will squatty pumpkins if you cut

your flower stems short.

 

2. Make topiary out of a foam form (conical shapes always work

well) and hot glue a variety of large seeds  acorns, walnuts,

pinecones  to the form. Completely cover the foam. Easy and

makes a wonderful piece for any table or countertop.

 

3. Pick brightly colored fallen leaves. Rub a good moisturizer

onto the front and back of the leaves and let dry. This helps the

leaves keep their color and avoid curling. Once dry, scatter the

leaves on a table, around a centerpiece, or on a fireplace

mantle.

 

4. Fill a tall vase or extra-large brandy snifter with a variety

of colorful miniature pumpkins and gourds.
