Whether you’re a DIY expert who’s always on sites like backyardtoolshed.com looking for new projects or just like to do an occasional craft DIY, making something all by yourself is a very satisfying feeling. I love the sense of accomplishment I feel and usually have DIY plans for every season! When the bigger DIY stuff comes up it is definitely important that I have the right tools on hand, so if you are looking at bigger projects then you may want to check those shopsmith for sale on websites like shoppok.com as well as check out your local hardware store for what you need if you don’t have it on hand. I don’t care that it isn’t officially Fall yet, it’s as good as Fall and I’m ready to start decking the place out in oranges and golds. Leaves, pumpkins, scarecrows-you name it, I’m ready for Fall. So in the spirit of Fall, I’ve found 25 easy Fall DIY projects to not only put you in the mood for fall, but to set the Fall mood around your home. Trust me, these are simple, but SO cute.
