Autumn is more than just Oktoberfest and Halloween. In the third season you can get more than creative when it comes to seasonal decorations. Warm earth colors and things collected from the forest make it really cozy and bring nature into your home. Here we show a few beautiful DIY ideas for pictures as autumn decorations and how you can skillfully combine them with the other decorative elements. Let this inspire you!
Combine images beautifully with other decorative elements as autumn decorations
Decoration should work. But even then there are rules to follow. The general rule is: put together different sizes, odd number of objects. An ensemble looks best when all decorative elements are arranged in a uniform color scheme. To give the whole thing a kick, you integrate itElement in Kontrastfarbe. Small accents can be chosen seasonally and thematically. An image in the background that has the colors of the other objects works as a unifying element and is also a nice detail.
Typefaces
The walls at homecan get a nice accent in different ways. A new coat of paint turns the bare surface into an accent wall. Wall decoration conjures up an individual touch. Pictures not only decorate the wall, but also personalize it. Through the illustration, the homeowner can indirectly make a statement and suggest something. If you want to say something precisely, you turn to the images with writing and retro prints.
Make your own pictures as fall decorations
Decorative pictures and signsput a message elegantly and beautifully in the foreground. The font can be designed in connection with the current season and, for example, function as a kind of beautiful autumn decoration. Several pictures can be hung on a wall and beautifully combined next to each other in lengthwise and landscape formats. This creates a stylish picture wall that creates a cozy atmosphere.
DIY typeface instructions
You can also make a typeface yourself. This should of course match the style of living and this applies to both the desired text and the design itself. A wooden image and a cursive font fit perfectly with the vintage style. Perhaps it makes sense to first decide where you will place the homemade picture and then determine its size. Accordingly, you can get the materials you need.
To make a wooden picture with lettering you need:
- Wooden board or wooden slats
- Wood stain
- possibly fine-grain sandpaper
- Paint brush
- Acrylic or chalk paint
- self-adhesive film
optional:
- Laser copy or laser printing
- Transfermedium
- water and sponge
There are several ways in which lettering can be transferred to a wooden surface. No matter which one you choose, it is important to note that the template must be mirrored for texts. First, consider how big your image should be. Accordingly, look for a font, saying or quote that would look good on the wood panel. You first have to sand the wood a little, for example on the edges. Then apply the wood stain or possibly a suitable base color.
There are two options for transferring the lettering to the wood. You can print out the saying or the main idea directly onto a self-adhesive foil, or have it printed, then cut out the letters precisely with a craft knife and simply attach the foil to the wooden board. Finally, all you have to do is color in the writing with a brush and when the paint dries, remove the foil.
A second option is to print the text on conventional printing paper. You need to apply a transfer medium to the wooden panel, then apply the laser print to it and smooth it out. Then the paper on the printout is carefully rubbed off with a damp sponge. The color of the template is transferred to the wood in this way. The template must be a laser print and not an inkjet print, because the second one can blur when transferred.
Thread art
Wherever there is autumn decoration, handmade also comes into play and everything that is roughly woven, knotted or knotted acts as a small picture. Pictures with beautiful motifs on the theme of “Autumn” are not difficult to create yourself. Even children can take part in the crafting.Thread art is a good exampleHow you can create your own fall decoration pictures without having any artistic training. Nevertheless, sensitivity and skill are required so that the result ultimately looks aesthetic.
DIY fadenbilder
Thread pictures are a good alternative for a DIY picture as an autumn decoration. They are relatively easy to make yourself and are well received by primary school children as creative DIY projects. The motifs and the materials used – wooden board, yarn/string and nails – are easy to obtain and very diverse. This means that a picture can be adapted to any living style.

Not much is actually needed for a thread image:
- Wooden board (DIN A4)
- possibly wood stain and sandpaper
- Template (smaller than DIN A4)
- Embroidery thread or string in any color
- small nails (approx. 2 cm)
- Pen for marking
First, the wooden board is treated - sanded if necessary and glazed in any shade. Then choose a nice motif. This can be writing, but also a sign or animal. For a picture as an autumn decoration, autumn motifs such as autumn leaves, foxes, owl, pumpkins and others might be a good choice. Now mark the contours of the motif on the wooden board using a pen. The nails must now be hammered into these areas. Finally, wrap the thread around the nails. Be careful how you pull the thread through so that there is an even density and ultimately a beautiful image.
Made from natural materials – crafts with autumn leaves
Autumn decorations undoubtedly include natural materials. In the third season there are so many of them that you can get everything for crafting almost for free. It's not difficult at all to collect some beautiful autumn leaves while taking a walk in nature. This makes it easy to create a beautiful picture as an autumn decoration.

For this imaginative autumn picture, all you need is a piece of sturdy cardboard and a beautiful, whole, undamaged autumn leaf. You must first place this between the pages of a large book for a few days to straighten it. During this time you can work on the background of the beautiful leaf.
A really creative idea is to decorate the box with beautiful handwriting. Of course you can imitate one and design the background on the computer, then simply print it out. Finally, the autumn leaf is glued to the cardboard and the finished picture is placed in a frame.
