7. Decorate with Corn Husks

These simple autumn DIY projects will give your home some major seasonal curb appeal.

For the garland, use these materials: Cut a piece of 12-inch jute rope to the required length (plus a few extra inches for the drapey effect at the top) and use a hot-glue gun to attach corn husks and silks. (Tamale wrappers can also be used.)

To make the wreath, start with an 18-inch flat-wire frame. Hot-glue corn husks (about 18) and corncobs (approximately 9) in a design. To create dimension, fray the ends of the corn husks.

8. Pretty Up The Porch

You probably already have most of the components for this easy appearance, so there’s no need to spend a lot of money on it.

If you have a wooden ladder, place a warm blanket at the bottom of each level.

If you have a grapevine wreath, fill the lower half with nuts and apples, then hang with a 3-inch-wide burlap ribbon.

Repurpose a bushel basket as a rustic planter or use it to corral outdoor goods if you have one.
