So every year there are always new things that you want to buy to make your home seem a little homier during the fall seasons. Yes, I know it is still summer and probably will be for the next couple of months in some places, but that doesn't mean you can't be gearing up for those wonderful warm colors of fall. Here are the Top 10 things that you can make, on a budget.
1. Fire Pots
Now talk about cute and convenient. You can make them as large or as small as you would like. You literally just buy a terracotta pot, line it with aluminum foil, throw some charcoals in, light it up, and you are ready to go. This is perfect if you are having a small party and it's too warm to have a fire but it's the perfect time for s'mores, plus this doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg like some fire-pits do, you can make this one for around $10.
2. A New Kind Of Welcome
Now how cute is this?! You could put this literally anywhere in the house- the front door, the fire place, literally anywhere. To make this all you need to purchase are some dollar store plastic pumpkins, the spray paint color of your choice, and some paint or stickers that you want to put on them. Again, this is another craft that you can do for around $10-$15.
3. Make a Wreath
There are so many different ones that you can make, it's not even funny. These are fun and easy to make and don't take that much time to put together. If you are feeling a little crafty, why not give this one a shot?
4. Bath Bombs
Now I know these are all the craze, so why not make your favorite fall scent into something that you can use over and over again? I know almost every store carries their own version, but how much nicer would it be if you could make your own PSL bath bomb?!?!?!
5. Giving Thanks Jar
Now I know this one is more centered towards Thanksgiving, which seems like forever away, BUT why not challenge yourself from today until Thanksgiving put in a little note of something you are thankful for. It doesn't have to be something huge or well thought out, just something simple like, "Jen bought my coffee today" or "I had a hard day at work and when I came home my roommate or significant other had dinner ready". It can be the smallest of things, but when you get to that day, you will realize that all of the small things do add up.
