Autumn pendant banner
Craftaholics Anonymous
The best thing about this banner is that it can be used in so many different ways: Hang it on your door, tie it to your porch railing, or drape it from a window – either way, the harvest colors and unique striped bias tape will add a pop of color to your entryway.

Make your own autumn planter
Rental property
Planters don't just get left abandoned after spring and summer. Fall lovers have plenty of opportunities to grow cool-weather outdoor staples. Start by filling dark-colored urns with ornamental grasses that can tolerate cool weather.
For more details, please see “Rooms for Rent”.

Remain neutral
Merrythought
For a more subdued, simple look, neutrals are the way to go: pick a colour palette of three or four analogous colours and paint your pumpkin (or any decorations) those colours.

Ombre Petal Pumpkin
Ryan Dausch
While this may seem like a difficult design to master, it's actually quite easy: just mix different complementary colors of paint together, starting from the center of each “flower” and working outwards, using a stencil and foam pouncer.
Make the Pumpkin: Tape the flower stencil to an orange pumpkin. Using a foam paint brush, lightly paint the pumpkin with a light colored craft paint and fill in the center petal. While the paint is still wet, paint a darker color of paint just outside the center petal and blend the paint together. Repeat step 3, painting the outer edge of the petal with a darker color. Allow to dry, then fill in the stencil's leaves (if applicable) with a different color of paint.

Black Cat Tree Clipping
Jen Woodhouse
Black cats are a symbol of autumn and Halloween. The best thing about a wooden cat is that it looks worn, so the paint job doesn't have to be perfect. A thin layer of black paint will give the silhouette a rustic, vintage feel.
Check out Jen Woodhouse's tutorial.

Bold Band Pumpkins
Ryan Dausch
You won't need store-bought decorations when you have your own pumpkin masterpiece. This craft is a striking way to decorate your front door and is easy to tackle.
Make the pumpkin: Use masking tape to paint several stripes (or one horizontal stripe) around an orange pumpkin. For vertical stripes, tape a flower stencil to one of the stripes and use a foam pouncer to lightly paint over it. Once dry, remove the stencil and tape over the next part of the stripe. Continue until the entire stripe is filled in, then repeat with the other stripes, changing colors. To make horizontal stripes, cut out a large flower stencil and tape it to the inside of the stripe. Using a pouncer, lightly paint the pumpkin to fill in the stencil. Once dry, remove the stencil and use a few more times inside the stripes. Repeat with the two smaller stencils.

Monogram Pumpkin
Ryan Dausch
These monogrammed pumpkins can include your child's initials, house number, or if you want to get extra creative, you can spell out a three letter word like “BOO!”
Make the Pumpkin: Use a pencil to draw thick block letters on the pumpkin and outline them with masking tape. Then cut out and tape a large flower stencil inside the block letters and use a foam pad to dab them with craft paint. Finally, remove the stencil once the paint is dry and repeat in different spots within the letters. Then repeat with the smaller stencils until you've filled the entire letter with the flower design.
