These hardwood pine accessories are surprisingly durable, (provided you properly seal the wood beforehand). So they will last a good long while, even when exposed to the elements.
How Do I Decorate My Front Porch In The Fall? Anything that inspires the feel and color of harvest, is what you are aiming for with your display. So pumpkins, sunflowers, and even the odd home-spun scarecrow, can help turn an otherwise bare front porch into something invitingly charming.

4 Fall Craft Fair Style Signs
By Christy Cain
You don’t need to go to the local craft fair this year to feel that creative atmosphere. Add a bit of that artisan feel to your fall decor with these Luan plywood signs.
What is luan? Also known as lauan plywood, this hardwood manufactured lumber is made from a tropical timber called Meranti from the Shorea species. You can get Luan plywood from most good lumber supply stores.
5 Fall Sign for Beginners
By The Magnolia Housewife
Put your Cricut to good use by making this stunning rope framed display. Both the rope and small pumpkins can be purchased from the Dollar Tree.
What is a Cricut? These cutting machines allow you to cut incredibly intricate designs into all manner of hobby craft materials, such as wood, paper, and leather. However, they won’t hold up against more durable wood types (such as Pine or Plywood). So its best you use your Cricut on thin woods such as Balsa wood.
6 Round Door Hanger
By Unicorn Dust Designs
Swap out the typical fall wreath for a fall round instead.
Even absolute beginners will find this craft idea a cinch, as this tutorial will guide you in turning wood board into something amazing.
You could make your own wood rounds, or you can save time by simply purchasing them online for a few bucks. The choice is up to you…

Hanging up a wreath is a traditional way to symbolize growth, evergreen nature, and the unending circle of life. Its a tradition that dates back thousands of years.
So, this year, why not continue to take part in this long-standing custom… but with a bit of a twist!
Using wood slices to make this unusual (yet stunningly creative) door wreath is just brilliant!
