Fall is here, and it’s time to cozy up your space with some creative DIY projects! And what better way to get started than by going to Deseret Industries for all the unique finds you’ll need? Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just trying it out, thrifting is a great way to find affordable, one-of-a-kind items perfect for your fall makeover. 

Here are some projects that can inspire you this season:

1. Thrifted Sweater Pumpkins 

Looking for an easy way to add some seasonal charm to your space? Grab a couple of old, chunky sweaters and turn them into DIY pumpkins! Cut the sleeves into pieces, tie the ends with twine, stuff them with cotton, and voila—squishy, cozy pumpkins perfect for your mantle or centerpiece. It's simple, cute, and effective for giving those sweaters a second life.

2. DIY Rustic Picture Frames 

Fall is all about warm, rustic vibes, and nothing says that better than a revamped thrifted picture frame. You can find plenty of frames at Deseret Industries—just pick a few that you love, then sand them down for that rustic look, or paint them in fall colors like burnt orange, deep red, or mustard yellow. Add your favorite autumn leaves or family fall photos, and you’ve got yourself the perfect seasonal décor! 

3. Candle Holder Magic 

Ever thought of transforming glassware into fall candle holders? Head to the glass section at Deseret Industries, where you’ll find plenty of jars, glasses, and vases. With a bit of paint, twine, and creativity, you can transform these into rustic candle holders to light up those crisp fall nights.

4. Wreaths with a Twist 

Take an old picture frame, add some thrifted faux leaves or florals, and turn it into a stunning fall wreath for your front door! You can find plenty of craft-worthy materials in the home décor section. Attach everything with hot glue and a little ribbon, and your DIY wreath will be turning heads in no time.
