Homemade napkin rings, candle holders, fruit bowls and place cards bring a beautiful autumnal atmosphere and delight guests with creativity.
These napkin rings are super easy to make and look so glamorous. The pretzel shapes are outair drying Modeling compoundmade and do not have to be baked in the oven. They can also be combined well with other gold or brass decorations and become an elegant ensemble on the table.
You need air-drying polymer clay, a brush and gold paint.
1. Take a piece of modeling clay (if using polymer clay - about 1/4 of the package) and form a roll 30 cm long and about 1 cm wide.
2. Shape the stick into a pretzel and let it dry overnight or better for 24 hours. During this time, turn the pretzels several times.
3. Paint gold.
So that every guest can find their place at the table, you can make a few creative place cards. Paint wooden clothespins with gold paint and write the guest's name on brown cardstock with a gold pen. A small berry branch completes the look.
Pompoms can be made not only from tissue paper, but also from dry corn leaves. They have a beautiful color and texture that are perfect for any fall decoration. To make a pompom, you need several dry leaves that you tie together in the middle using craft wire. Then cut the individual leaves into small strips with scissors and spread them out. In the end you should get the shape of the pompom. You can hang the finished decoration on a line together with large autumn leaves and create a pretty garland as a wall or window decoration.
You can use toilet roll when making napkin rings. They have a suitable shape and offer a cheap alternative for table decoration. The box can be easily hidden with jute fabric. To make the napkin rings look even more beautiful, you can further decorate them with autumn leaves made from tissue paper and artificial berries.
Tea light holders are a popular idea. Glass lanterns are usually decorated with autumn leaves. This interesting structure here is ingenious and simple at the same time. It's worth trying, isn't it? In this way, the tea lights also become larger and give the whole table decoration a little more structure.
Very themed for the fall season. A hollowed out pumpkin is not only suitable as a lantern, but can also serve as a bottle cooler and successfully replaces the ice bucket. However, to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly, it is recommended to place the pumpkin in the refrigerator or, ideally, the freezer for at least 4 hours after hollowing it out. If you then fill the pumpkin with ice cubes or broken ice, the bottles will stay ice cold for much longer. You should also not place the homemade ice bucket in a place that is too warm.
Instead of carving different patterns into the pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern, you can simply drill a few holes and replace candles with string lights. If you have a really large pumpkin, you can hollow it out, fill it with water and place floating candles on the surface of the water. You can achieve an equally great effect with a few floating autumn leaves in between.
If you would like to create beautiful garden sculptures with the children, then you will find a wonderful idea here. Clay pots of different sizes are used and transformed into cute figures. For example, you can make a scarecrow from a total of four clay pots. All you need are acrylic paints, brushes, some straw, a small piece of felt, a scarf and a few buttons.
For the scarecrow's body, you will need two medium-sized clay pots, first painted like pants and shirt and then glued together. Two smaller clay pots are then used as the head and hat. Make the round hat brim out of felt and use the straw to create the hair and arms. The DIY scarecrow can be perfectly rounded off with a colorful scarf.
Other beautiful figures can also be made from the same material. There are no limits to creativity. You can make atmospheric figures and decorate them however you like. Great crafts for decoration can also be conjured up for Halloween, such as a witch made from clay pots
Crafting with natural materials is particularly popular in autumn because this time of year offers a variety of suitable materials. If you want to create something for your home that is also very practical, then this craft project is perfect for you and your children. These are refrigerator magnets made from small acorns and wooden discs. Almost only materials from nature are used for the project, which makes it particularly affordable.
First you should collect the necessary materials. You can do this on a trip with the children or just a walk in the nearest park. All you need are lots of acorns and a few branches about 2 centimeters in diameter. You should then get any acrylic paints and mini magnetic plates from the craft store.
The acorns are first painted in the chosen colors and left to dry. In the meantime, cut the branches into thin wooden slices and stick the magnet plates on the back. When the paint on the acorns is dry, stick one on the top of each wooden disc and the magnets are ready.
However, you can use larger wooden slices to make beautiful pumpkins for fall decorations. Simply paint the wooden discs with orange paint and make the stems from small pieces of wood. Leaves for each pumpkin can also be made from fabric. Also check out our othersIdeas for an originalDIY fall decorations.
