We love filling our homes with seasonal autumn crafts and decorations at this time of year. From autumn wreaths to leaf art, there's something so beautiful about autumn and the colours it brings. Autumn decorations really creates a cosy and warming environment, perfect for a quiet night in.
If you're looking for some autumn craft inspiration, whether it's for yourself or as a house warming gift for a loved one, we've rounded up some of our favourite ideas from Pinterest that'll leave your home feeling cosy and autumnal during this season.
Autumn crafts
Autumn leaf glowing candle
Bring some autumn glow into your home with these little autumn leaf candles. All you need is a jar, some leaves, a paint brush and glue (we'd recommend PVA) plus some string to make these autumnal candle holders. Not only do they make a room feel cosy and warm, they also give you an excellent excuse to get outside for some autumnal leaf collecting.
Toadstool garland
This little felt toadstool garland can be made from some autumnal coloured felts, string, stuffing and cotton for sealing the toadstools. They look great hung up around window frames or door frames and they also make lovely little homemade gifts for children or for baby's nursery. Alternatively, if you don't have time to make this yourself you can purchase these from Etsy too!
Autumn leaf mobile
Not only does this seasonal leaf mobile look really autumnal, it also smells perfectly seasonal too, and smells are very important when it comes to autumn crafts! Use wooden beads which you can purchase online, leaves from the garden, cinnamon sticks, dried oranges plus twigs and string to create this decoration before hanging it up in a window or up against the wall.
Clay leaf trinket tray
You can purchase modelling clay from most craft supply shops or online, and it's great fun to work with and takes you right back to school days. Then all you need are some well-shaped, undamaged leafs in an assortment of shapes and some autumnal coloured paints to create this little leaf trinket tray.
Yarn pumpkins
Simple yet stunning, these pumpkins are made from foam pumpkins wrapped in different coloured yarn with a small branch stuck in the top. Placed around the home, on window sills and shelves, they make for a real cosy and autumnal feel.
Salt dough ornaments
This is a brilliant craft idea for people of all ages, so great if you've got your grandchildren over Halloween half term. Once complete, these salt dough decorations can be hung up in a garland or hung on their own with a hook.
Pumpkin pompom
This pumpkin pom pom garland provides an extra cute touch to any home at autumn. With a pipe cleaner stuck through the top and placed across a string, it's one to add to your autumn home decoration box for future years too.
Cinnamon candle
If you haven't already got some decorative cinnamon in your craft box then we certainly recommend getting some. Cinnamon is so autumnal, and we love how it can transform a basic white candle into something so pretty and warming. We think these cinnamon candles make great gifts for friends and neighbours around this time of year.
Leaf bowl
Be warned, you shouldn't put anything in this bowl as it's purely for decoration. But while it may not be the most practical, it certainly looks the part and is so easy to make. All you need is some fresh autumn leaves, glue and a balloon!
Hand sewn garland
This autumnal garland not only look adorable but they're also super easy to make. Simply buy some felt in a range of autumnal colours, some thread in suitable colours, some stuffing for the cushion effect and scissors to cut your shapes. You may even want to use some stencils for the shapes to get them perfect.
Tree art
If you're looking for a way to use up any broken leaves that don't quite make the cut your your other projects, then this fun DIY leaf art is a great idea. Simply print out a picture of a bare tree from the internet (or draw one yourself) and use PVA glue to stick dry leaves to the branches. Frame and you'll have an autumnal piece of original art to put up each year.
Autumnal hedgehog
Another one for the little ones to help with, it's a great one to have a go at after some exploring and collecting outdoors as you can use leaves or acorns for this hedgehog craft. All you'll need to do is print out a hedgehog outline before sticking on your woodland finds.
Ghost garland
If you're looking for some Halloween decorations, then this adorable ghost garland could be just what you're looking for. We love the playful colours and the fun ghost faces and it can be used year after year as a cute decoration.
Conker drawings
Foraging for conkers has long been an autumnal tradition that children love, and there's nothing quite as satisfying than finding a shiny, large and round conker in the woods to take home. While these look lovely placed in a glass jar, there's something fun about drawing on conkers with a white, gold or silver pen.
Conker snails
How adorable are these little conker snails made using conkers and clay for the snails? They look perfect on a desk or shelf to add some personality around this time of year. You can use different coloured clay or children's modelling clay or paint the clay to find the best colour for your home.
Autumnal table display
If you're looking to put together your own autumnal table display, this is an ideal craft project to put together yourself. Using faux leaves, faux pumpkins, pinecones and scented candles of your choice, this is an easy display to put together yourself and can be changed throughout the seasons.

A dash of cinnamon is not only perfect for autumn puddings, but cinnamon also looks great in any craft project. Don't waste it from your kitchen cupboards though, instead buy some decorative cinnamon for all your crafting needs.
You can't do autumnal crafts without some autumn leaves, and while a lot of us might be blessed to find beautifully shaped and coloured leaves on our doorstep, it's sometimes easier to use artificial leaves when crafting.

Another foodie item that you might not want to use real versions of. These dried oranges are brilliant for making wreaths, garlands and mobiles, and will also work really nicely for winter decorations too.

Pop them in a bowl, spray them with some glitter, weave them into a wreath - the possibilities are endless when it comes to decorative pinecones and we think they're an essential when it comes to autumn crafts.

Whether you're painting with younger children or you want to make some autumnal style prints on paper or clay, these stamps will no doubt come in handy throughout the season.
While conkers are pretty easy to come by at this time of year, acorns sometimes aren't as easy to find in large numbers. Luckily, you can buy real acorns in bulk from Amazon so you don't have to go out and forage for them yourself.
Don't have time to make it yourself? You can find plenty of autumn decoration ideas that you can buy online.
