Apple Votive
If you want to spruce up a table for fall and you only have a few minutes, here’s a way to do it.
1. Begin by getting an apple and a votive candle.
2. Hollow out the apple at the bottom. View the pictures or videos to understand precisely how to do this.
When you are done, you should have created a space large enough for a little LED votive light. This is the perfect cute centerpiece for an autumn meal!
Leaf Jar
1. Begin with a glass jar and some pretty autumn leaves in colors you like.
2. Use glue to attach the leaves all around the outside of the jar.
Attach some twine around the top to decorate, and put a votive LED light inside. You now have a beautiful autumnal lamp!
“Hello Fall”
1. Begin with a pre-made wreath which is undecorated.
2. Start gluing fake leaves and flowers around the wreath.
3. Next, get some cardstock and write a cute phrase like “Hello Fall” on it. You can choose any color of cardstock you want of course, and you can write using chalk, paint, a marketer, or anything else. Going with chalk creates a nice homespun look.
4. Use a ribbon to hang the “Hello Fall” sign in the middle of the wreath.
Hang the wreath up to display.
Gourd Flower Display
1. Choose a guard you like and cut it open carefully.
2. Hollow out the interior.
3. Use hot glue gun to add some decoration like straw.
Put some flowers inside for a beautiful fall display.
