Decorate the window sill
Pumpkins are simply part of the decoration in autumn. That's why we're presenting you with an idea for this too. If you want to make autumn decorations for the window, don't forget the window sill, as it offers the perfect space for decorations. And since you probably do anywayCarve pumpkinssave a few of them for this area. By the way, the knife is not the only tool you can use to perforate and cut the pumpkins. A simple drill, for example, is suitable for drilling holes in the pumpkin and then using it like a classic lantern.
If you want to make this autumn decoration for the window, don't cut the pumpkin open at the top as usual, but at the bottom. Then hollow it out. You can then use tape to mark the places you want to drill through and then drill the larger holes first. You can then add smaller holes in between using a smaller attachment and then wash the pumpkin. You can then use a pipe cleaner to remove pulp residue from the holes. Place the finished lantern over an LED candle.
Make your own autumn decorations for windows and children with toilet rolls
Everyone probably knows window pictures made from window colors. But we will now show you another variant. And you can do that with glueand toilet paper rollsalso make beautiful autumn decorations for the window. This is how these pieces of jewelry are made:
- Toilet paper rolls
- PVA glue (wood glue/craft glue); should become transparent after drying
- Watercolors
- Clothespins
- baking paper
- tape
If you would like to make this interesting autumn decoration for the window, first cut the toilet rolls into rings. Then take a ring and squeeze it in two opposite places to make an oval leaf shape. Cut the cardboard a little at the two folds. Now prepare a thinner strip, which you also press together and then glue both layers together. Put some glue in the incisions of the first ring and insert the second, thinner ring into these cracks. Then use a clothespin to press one of the two pointed ends together after adding a little glue there too. Set the leaf aside and make more or combine with apples.
Then lay out baking paper and spread the prepared leaves and apples on it once the glue has dried. Then fill the molds about halfway with glue and let them dry for several days. The glue should become transparent during this time. So make sure you buy the right glue. To ensure that the glue does not run out from the bottom when filling, you should press the mold firmly into place. You can then use a book or cutting board and place it on the filled molds.
Once the glue is dry and clear, you can paint your fall decorations in matching colors. You can create pretty gradients with watercolors. Don't forget to color the cardboard too. Then stick the decorations to the window panes with adhesive tape or provide holes and string for hanging.
Make autumn decorations for the window with children – decorate with leaves
Use the collected anddried leaveslike window pictures and decorate the window pane directly with them. You can now stick on certain areas so that it looks as if the leaves were blown by the wind or you can cover the entire window, which would be suitable for a bathroom or a room, for example. This is how you can quickly make a beautiful autumn decoration for the window:
- dried or artificial autumn leaves
- adhesive film on both sides
Think about which areas of the window you want to decorate and cut the film accordingly. Attach the foil and the leaves can be stuck on. Nothing more is necessary!

The wreath traditionally decorates the front door, but can also be found on windows. However, together with the children you can make a wreath of autumn leavesmake out of paper, which you don't hang in front of the window as usual, but stick directly to the window. If you would like to make such an autumn decoration for the window, you can do it in different ways:
Cut out a paper ring and leaf shapes in autumn shapes and glue the leaves onto the ring so that it is completely covered and no longer visible. To do this, you need to overlap the sheets. Finally, cut along the inner circle again to remove any excess paper from the leaves and create an even ring. Or:
Using an embroidery hoop or wire ring, draw and cut the leaves twice (as shown on the acorn leaf). The two mirror sides do not separate you from each other. Instead, you place the piece that connects both pieces together around the ring and then glue the two leaf pieces together. You can then stick the wreath to the window using double-sided adhesive tape.
Real wreath
Of course, you can also make a “real” wreath as an autumn decoration for the window if you like it better. And here, too, there are so many different options that you can create a beautiful window wreath even with little to no experience in pinning and tying. For example, look at the idea above. All you need is a wreath made from willow branches or vines, which you can even buy ready-made. Then glue fruits and nuts onto it with hot glue. Be careful not to choose fruits that are too heavy, otherwise the glue will not be able to hold them. Tie a ribbon for hanging.

At first glance, stars seem like more of a Christmas decoration, but with the right colors they really become autumnal.

Unfold the paper again and place it so that the fold is facing down. Take the two corners on the right and left and fold them over until they form the fold. Then take the two new corners that were created further up on the right and left and fold them up to the crease.
You have now completed the first point. You need 8 points in total (2 per color). Then stick these together as shown in the instructions until you get a star that you can decorate the window with.
Hang a branch with leaves made of egg carton in front of the window
Obtainan egg carton, which is best curved a little flatter than the usual ones and start crafting. In no time at all you will have such pretty leaves, which you can then hang in groups on a twig or branch and then hang them on the window.

For example, you can make a garland as an autumn decoration for the window or decorate the mantel or the banister with it. This is how the leaves are made:
Place the egg carton on a surface and let the children get creative.With acrylic paints in autumn shadesand brush you can paint the egg carton. The paint must then dry thoroughly, after which you can cut out leaf shapes. It doesn't have to be complicated maple or chestnut leaves. Simple teardrop shapes with a few jagged edges on the edges are sufficient to make it clear what it is. Poke holes in the leaves and tie string. Hang the leaves on a branch or directly on the curtain rod at different heights.
Tipp: While the colors are still wet, you can sprinkle them with a little glitter to make the leaves look even prettier. Alternatively, spray and coat them with a little glue and then sprinkle glitter over them. You can also play with the colors as you like when you make these autumn decorations for the window.
