Decorating for fall on a budget.

It wasn’t always this way, but now fall is probably my favorite of all the seasons. There is so much to love – the colors of the leaves changing, the cute fall clothes, the cooler temperatures.

But there’s nothing I love more than the feeling of change that fall brings. I don’t know what it is, but every year around this time I feel the need to move and change (almost) everything around in my house. Does anyone else feel this way?

If you’re feeling like a change but don’t have the budget to re-accessorize and re-furnish your entire space, I’ve got 9 affordable ideas for fall decorating I think you’ll love. Including a couple ideas that won’t cost you a single penny!

roundup of halloween craft ideas for kids and adults

Halloween is one of those holidays that everyone (both kids and adults) can truly enjoy! Sure, it’s typically more of a holiday focused on kids and the adults may have outgrown trick-or-treating. But I know plenty of people (without kids) that spend days decorating their front yard to get into the spirit. So, I think it’s a pretty balanced holiday.
 
With that in mind, I put together a long list of Halloween craft ideas for every age to get you excited to celebrate all October long.

DIY Halloween Art Made from Junk Mail

By Brittni • posted on 09/24/2025

A Halloween art project that you can display year round.

Often, when I’m feeling stuck creatively, I grab some paper and a glue stick and play around with collage.

There is something to be said for making something new from something old / discarded. And in many ways, that’s what collage is –  a fun exercise that tells a story in a different way than say a drawing or painting would. It requires layering and experimentation, kind of like a puzzle with no rules. Which makes it really fun!

So here’s a Halloween art / collage idea that you can try right now. Use junk mail envelopes and magazines to create quirky collages for spooky season.

White Chocolate Pumpkin Candies

Pumpkin pie lovers, you have to try these white chocolate pumpkin candies this fall. They’re delicious and make a great hostess gift for fall parties / Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin pie is honestly one of my favorite fall desserts. My grandma used to make it every year and it was one of those things that I just always looked forward to. And when I got older, I would occasionally make pumpkin pie on my own. But now that I have a family of my own, I never make it because (sadly) I’m the only one in my fam who actually likes pumpkin pie.

That’s how these yummy pumpkin candies came about. Way easier to make than a whole pie, but with the same vibe in a bitesize treat. Similar to these chocolate marshmallow cups, which I also love this time of year. Click through for the fall recipe.

Clay Bead Bracelet Ideas

Stepping into the world of clay bead jewelry with some kid-friendly clay bead bracelet ideas.

About two years ago, I got into clay bead bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry making after my son brought home a bracelet he made at school.

I started looking up clay beads on Etsy and as it turns out, there’s some really cute beads out there for jewelry making. And so much variety too. You can make clay bead bracelets using only small flat beads. You can make bracelets using more tubular clay beads. And also shapes and themes of every kind. Loads of options – and great for necklaces and keychains as well.

So I thought I’d share some of my sources for clay beads and how you can make these cheerful accessories with just a couple of supplies.
