Autumn Crafts Buying Guide

It's always a good idea to change up your holidays of the season, like Halloween. For more detailed ideas on what to buy and how to get those creative juices flowing, check out the rest of this guide!

For Outside

Adding touches to your window sill, front porch and garden are always popular choices when seasonally decorating.  .  Place one along the top of each front step or over your front door archway.  Include them with topiary arrangements in your front yard, place them along fence posts or arrange them with gourds and corn in a basket at the end of your front drive. The key is being creative, not campy, so don't overdo it and think carefully about the placement and construction of all decorations.

For Inside

The decorating shouldn't stop with the front entrancethat would be a tease!  Besides, there are a bunch of great options for fall décor inside the home that you won't want to miss out on. For the dinner table, try sprucing it up with festive
centrepieces and seasonal scented candles.  Centrepieces can be easy to make, particularly if you have supplies left over from your outdoor decorating exploits.  You simply start by putting down some newspaper so you don't make a mess, attaching decorative items to a large Styrofoam ring and building as you see fit.  For a great look and fun fall aromas, try adding pine cones, lavender or cinnamon sticks, and finish it all off with some ribbon or gold sparkle spray. Scented candles can be placed in the middle of your dining room table centrepiece, on the mantle or anywhere else around the house where you and your guests frequent.  Some companies particularly in seasonal scents, like Yankee Candle Co. and Empire Candle Co., so be on the lookout for new scents each year.  Some new and popular ones include: * Pumpkin Spice * Candy Apple * Cinnamon and Sugar * Autumn Gold * Blueberry Scone * Mulling Spices The living room is also a great space to adorn with some autumn touches, as this is often the warm place where guests gather.  Try knitting some festively coloured Afghans, Related Guides
