Autumn-Inspired Timber DIY projects
Halloween is almost here, and that means decorations, pumpkins, and Autumn vibes.
It's the perfect time to decorate and take part in the festivities, whether that's taking on a horror theme for Halloween or taking on a cosy autumn aesthetic.
We've compiled 3 simple decor designs that can make your home fit for fall. All of them only require timber, screws, and a few hours to build.
Boarded window decorations
A simple design that will help your home look like a scene from a zombie film this Halloween. Just with a few planks of timber, you could give the impression that your family is the lone survivors of the night of the living dead. Easy to build, cost-effective, and spooky. The perfect combination for Halloween decorations.
This effect can be created in several different ways, including 4x1s, 6x1s, or even decking boards. For a rustic (and cheaper) aesthetic, reject timber can be the perfect way to add to the Halloween theme.
