Autumn is here and my HGTV Handmade friends and I are here to help you celebrate with these quick and easy fall and winter DIY decor ideas.
Let’s get started!
Autumn Leaf Bowl & Cinnamon Candles

Autumn Leaf Bowl Instructions:
- Blow up a jumbo balloon.
- Pour modge podge in a paper plate for easy disposal later on.
- Using a sponge brush and paint a thin layer of modge podge on the bottom half of the balloon. (Tip: Don’t paint the top of the balloon otherwise you won’t be able to grip it.)
- Now take your fake leaves and paste them onto the balloon. (Tip: I used about four packs of leaves for this project.)
- Repeat step until the entire base of the balloon is covered in leaves and let it dry overnight.
- 24 hours later: Add your second layer of leaves. It’s ok if it’s not fully dry.
- After the second layer, I would recommend letting everything set for about two to three days.
- Once it’s completely dry and hard as a rock you’re going to pop the balloon to reveal your new bowl. Don’t forget to remove the excess glue from the edges.
Cinnamon Vanilla Candle Instructions:
- Using your hot glue gun apply cinnamon sticks in strips all the way around the vanilla candle.
- Wrap twine around the completed candle about three times, add a double knot and tie in a bow.

- Turn the sock inside out.
- Fold the cut end over and glue it with a hot glue gun.
- Flip right side out and pull it tight around the mug.
Don’t have an old sock? Use a ripped shirt instead.

- Get a small rubber band and loop one end into the buttonhole.
- Wrap cuff around the mug and secure by looping the other rubber band end around the button.
