1. autumn decorations made from natural materials
On an autumnal walk, you'll find colourful leaves, twigs, chestnuts and acorns lying on the ground. These materials are the basis for many beautiful DIY decorations!
Autumn wreaths: An autumn wreath is a wonderful way to give your home an instant autumnal flair. Start with a simple wreath frame made from straw or wire. Then attach the collected twigs and leaves around the frame by securing them with twine or craft glue. You can also add berries or dried flowers for an even more eye-catching look. Hang the wreath on your front door or use it as a table centrepiece.
2. handmade candles
Autumn brings with it shorter days and longer nights, which provides the perfect opportunity for candlelight. So why not create your own autumnal candles? Not only is it fun, but it also allows you to make candles to suit your taste, plus these candles make great gifts
Candles with autumnal scents: Choose scented oils such as cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin or apple and mix them into melted candle wax. Pour the wax into moulds of your choice and leave to harden.
Decorated autumn candles: Another great idea is to decorate candles with autumnal motifs. You can decorate candles with autumn leaves, pumpkins or spices. This requires a little skill, but the results are amazing. Using special wax plates makes it easier to apply the motifs to the candles.
