Fall decor
It's already fall! We don't have the four seasons here unfortunately, but Thanksgiving is usually associated with fall, so let's feast our eyes on some really gorgeous fall decoration.
We know it's fall season when leaves change colors to orange, brown and red. Since we can hardly get those colored leaves here, decorate using candles, fresh flowers and pine cones that are of the usual fall colors. Not everything has to be orange, brown and red though. Remember - subtle does it all.
But if you still want autumn leaves, make them! It'll be a fun project to do with your kids. Have them draw different types of autumn leaves (Google them) on colored papers, then display them on walls and tables.
Okay, here's one thing we can definitely get in Malaysia - burlap or gunny sack. Like the gunny sack race for kids in school. Cut them into shapes and simply pin a decor you got at a store or a DIY one on the sack. Or use a marker to draw out an alphabet on each sack (e.g.: Give Thanks) and display it on your wall or curtain rail.
Buy mason jars (I've seen some at Cold Storage) and put candles in it with various fall decor you've seen around shopping centers, like dried leaves and flowers and pine cones. Or just tie and brown, orange and red ribbons around the jar.
I have also seen fake tree branches at supermarkets that are used for decoration purposes. You can also use them as table centerpieces or place them in a vase at the corner of your living room. Add some Christmas lights on it, scatter some of your DIY paper leaves around it and if you have pumpkins (toy or real), great!
If you have a lot of time on your hand, try this DIY leaf pillow. You can find the instructions here. On the plus side, you can also try it with different designs, depending on your tastes.
