Colorful leaves, crisp air and reaping the bounty of summer’s labor mark the change to fall. Welcome autumn into your home with captivating DIY décor crafts inspired by Scentsy’s Harvest Collection.
Gather sticks, nuts, leaves and grasses from nature — or make a quick visit to the dollar store for fabric foliage. Pick some gourds from the garden or grab inexpensive foam pumpkins and other craft supplies. A glue gun will serve you well for these projects, along with simple paint brushes, acrylic paint, glitter, scissors and Mod Podge.
Before you begin, brew a cup of tea, add a few cubes of your favorite fall Scentsy Bar (we like Cinnamon Vanilla and Autumn Road Trip) in your Scentsy Warmer and settle in to make some beguiling fall décor.
Garnished gourds
Pumpkin pup
A little paint and ears cut from craft paper make an adorable companion inspired by our Frankie the French Bulldog Scentsy Buddy. Or customize to make it look like your favorite furry friend or doggo breed.
Materials: Small pumpkin, paint, paper, hot glue sticks and glue gun.
Instructions: Paint the pumpkin to resemble any doggo breed. Keep the lines simple and let dry completely. Cut out ears from paper and attach them to the pumpkin with hot glue. Add details like eyes, nose and mouth with paint.
Hoot up
Natural materials create a stunning owl from two stacked pumpkins, inspired by this blog and our Golden Grain Scentsy Warmer.
Materials: Two small pumpkins, a variety of small and large leaves, acorn caps, grasses, pinecone, small tree limbs or twigs, hot glue sticks and glue gun.
Instructions:
- Glue small leaves on the front of the bottom pumpkin, overlapping them slightly to create feathers.
- Glue larger leaves on either side of the bottom pumpkin to create wings.
- Create an outline for the face on the front of the top pumpkin by gluing bent ornamental grass to the gourd.
- Pull apart a pinecone and use the scales to form the beak.
- Use acorn caps for eyes.
- Glue on grass and twigs for head feathers.
- Stack the two pumpkins and display!
Scare pal
Rafia and a little love create a pumpkin scarecrow that won’t really frighten anyone. This version is great on a doorstep. Craft away, then cuddle up with our Strawford the Scarecrow Scentsy Buddy.

Instructions:
- Paint the pumpkin to create a face.

Leaf dish

Hello, fall
Greet your visitors this autumn with a handmade welcome sign featuring a sparkling pumpkin and vines. Our design was influenced by the Pumpkin Acres Mini Warmer and Autumn Leaf Charm Clip. There’s no need to spend a fortune on this project. Everything for this décor came from a dollar store.

Instructions:
- Paint “Welcome,” a simple pumpkin and lots of swirling vines on the chalkboard.
- Add glitter for a festive touch.
