Skip the Store: Make Your Own Decor
Autumn gives you coziness, nostalgia, Halloween, and changing colors.
It’s the beginning of the ‘ber seasons and all of the joy that comes with them.
... And while there’s nothing wrong with adding a few new seasonal touches, this year you might want to try something a little different: Make Your Own Fall and Halloween Decor!
** Create Something You’ll Actually Want to Display
One of the best parts of making your own seasonal decor is that it feels more personal than something pulled off a store shelf.
A hand-painted fall scene, a spooky Halloween design, or a colorful autumn canvas can become something you bring back out every year.
It also gives your home a little more personality. Even if you’re following along with a guided painting, the finished piece is still yours, complete with your own brushstrokes, colors, and little creative choices along the way.
** Turn Decorating Into an Experience
Shopping for decorations can be fun, but making them gives you something else too: an actual memory.
Instead of spending an afternoon wandering through stores, you can turn your seasonal decorating into a night out with friends, a date night, or even a relaxing evening for yourself.
At Pinot’s Palette Naperville, you can choose a fall or Halloween-inspired painting, grab a drink, listen to music, and create something you can take home and immediately add to your seasonal decor.
---> It’s both the activity and the decoration in one! Awesome!
** Add Some Halloween Personality
Halloween decor is especially fun to make because there really aren’t many rules.
You can go spooky, cute, dramatic, whimsical, or somewhere in between. Pumpkins, haunted houses, witches, ghosts, black cats, autumn landscapes and moody night skies can all make great seasonal artwork.
And unlike some Halloween decorations that only work for a few days, a lot of fall-inspired paintings can stay up well into November.
** Give Your Seasonal Decor a Story
The things we make ourselves tend to mean a little more.
A painting from a night out with friends might remind you of that evening every time you pull it out of storage. A piece you made with your partner can become part of your yearly decorating tradition.
Over time, those little handmade pieces can become some of the decorations you look forward to seeing most.
** Try Making Something This Fall
Before you add another mass-produced pumpkin or spooky sign to your cart, consider making something special and meaningful to your own.
Check out the upcoming Fall and Halloween painting classes at Pinot’s Palette Naperville and create a piece you can enjoy long after the paint dries.
Sure, you may still leave with new fall decor in your hands, but this time, you’ll have made it yourself... Worth It!
