Fall inspires us to embrace everything that the changing season brings. We feel compelled to drink apple cider, go on a hayride, make pumpkin pie and enjoy the beauty of the changing leaves.

We enjoy cooler temperatures, take in some football and prepare for heartier fare.

With the change in the air, many folks feel the creative urge to bake, decorate and plan for cooler temperatures. While some plant their fall gardens, others want to highlight the season in their homes, on their porches and in their yards.

Traditionally, pumpkins, bales of hale, mums and more have served as décor for home and hearth.

These days, a number of sources point home decorators in the direction of creating simple, yet attractive, points of interest. Decorations can be created to highlight your home this fall. Numerous do-it-yourself folks say autumn decorations are easy and inexpensive to create. Items can be purchased at minimal cost. Other items, already on hand in your home, can be utilized to create unique fall decor.

1. Who Knew Popcorn Could Be So Festive?

This simple popcorn vase with a candle is a great look for your mantle, kitchen counter or table. It's perfect for a soft glow that brings some light on a cool, fall night.

Begin by purchasing or finding a tall glass candle jar, according to prudentpennypincher.com. Fill most of the jar with unpopped popcorn. Place a small candle on top of unpopped kernels inside the candle jar. Raffia can be tied around the outside of the jar, but be careful to keep it tied low so it will not come in contact with the candle's flames. This simple decoration creates a festive look.

2. These Fall Colors Are Not Leaving Me

This bucket featuring twigs and leaves utilizes an item or two you may already have. Simply grab a small milk bucket -- or purchase an inexpensive one, says information provided on prudentpennypincher.com. Find some twigs or small branches in your yard. Purchase some maple leaf decor in various colors, then hot glue them to the twigs. Place the twigs in the bucket. This décor will look great on your front porch.

3. Cushy, Cute Pumpkins Aren't What They Seem

Toilet paper as décor? Well, these creative pumpkins are fully functional decorations, which could come in handy in a pinch.

Utilize fall colored tissue paper, or colorful scarves on hand, to cover a toilet paper roll. Scrunch the colored paper or scarf around the roll, tucking the extra inside the hole of the toilet paper roll, say those at prudentpennypincher.com. Several small sticks wrapped together with twine, or one larger stick, can be utilized for the stem. A leaf, or fake green leaf, can be hot glued to the twig to create the stem, then inserted in the "pumpkin." Several of these pumpkins, created with different colors and designs, can adorn your front porch, your home -- or bathroom.

With some creative ideas and a little bit of time, you can embrace fall with some décor you made yourself.
