Autum DIY Project Ideas

Summer might not be ready to go yet, but that doesn't mean you can't start looking at some cosy DIY projects.

One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by incorporating DIY lamp projects into your seasonal decor. From rustic lanterns to pumpkin-themed lights, 11 autumn lamp projects will illuminate your home with the spirit of fall.

Mason Jar Leaf Lanterns

Transform ordinary mason jars into charming leaf lanterns. Apply adhesive leaves to the outside of the jars, then place LED tea lights inside. These lanterns make lovely centrepieces for your autumn gatherings.
