So hunker down solo (or with your besties), channel that creative energy and get your craft on with these 10 hand-picked DIY projects.

2. DIY Honeycomb Wood Burned Cutting Board: Take that basic cutting board to the next level by adding a geometric-inspired honeycomb pattern. Your kitchen utensil will get that much cuter when you use this simple wood burning technique. (via Club Crafted)

3. DIY Desert-Themed Pillows: We are totally digging the J-Tree vibes of this pillow project. Channel the high and dry desert air with three different pillow styles (with three difficulty levels ranging from easy to hard) that are sure to boho your bedroom out. (via Brit + Co)

4. DIY Hidden Black Bath Bombs: If you haven’t already made your own black bath bombs, it’s about time. These elusive beauts have recently taken social media by storm, and you’ll want to make these and try them out STAT. (via The Makeup Dummy)

6. DIY Feminist Flair Embroidered Jeans: Love will always win when you add an adorable and empowering design to any of your fave pairs of jeans. This denim DIY calls for simple hand stitching, and then you can mix up your feminist message for flavor and originality. (via Brit + Co)

7. DIY Sparkling Mardi Gras Mask: Save the airfare and bring NOLA home with this Mardi Gras-inspired mask. Add some pizzazz in the form of sequins and glitter to really make your disguise shine. (via Brit + Co)

8. DIY Splatter Painted Drink Pitchers: The best part about splatter paint is you really can’t eff it up. So whether you’re feeling creative or just wanna throw some paint, this is just the DIY for you. Go colorful, metallic or clean white splatter for a unique drink pitcher you can use year-round. (via A Kailo Chic Life)

9. DIY Fringe Bandana Scarf: Fringe is *so* in, and a bandana covered in it will literally go with everything. This project is great for beginning seamstresses and makes for a super fun accessory that will match any season. (via Wear The Canvas)

10. DIY Beaded Sweater: Ever wonder what to do with all those rando beads? Obviously, you should make a beaded sweater! Whip up this cute and practical DIY to dress like the creative queen you are. (via Lindsey Crafter)

We Scoured The Internet — These Are Our Favorite Decorating Ideas For Fall

Ahhh, fall. There are so many things to love about this time of year (give us ALL the sweaters and pumpkin-flavored eats). But, high on the list comes autumn decor — candles, throws, textiles — you name it. Of course, buying items and actually adding them to your room are two different things. So we're turning to Instagram for the best styling advice and inspo for the season. Scroll on to see everything you need to get those wheels turning!

@sbkliving: Sometimes, it only takes a chic doormat to transition your front steps for the season. Hello, fall!

@rachelpuccetti: Excuse us while we spend an entire lazy Sunday relaxing in this fall-infused space.

@farmhousetofrills: A monochrome mantel never looked so chic. (That fireplace pumpkin setup is seriously *genius*.)

@faith_hope_home: Greet guests with a fall-themed entrance to set the tone for a day of pumpkin carving or scary movie marathoning.

@simplysoutherncottage: Don't forget about those nooks and crannies! This entryway/mudroom situation is capturing our little harvest-loving hearts.

@6thirtydecor: Speaking of pumpkins, pick up a few extra gourds to pave the way into your cozy autumn abode.

@farmsteadonfirst: That guest bedroom you weren't sure what to do with it? Transform it into a rustic retreat with some fall signage and mustard-yellow and green accents.

@fiddleleafinteriors: We're going to take a second to *swoon* over this adorable kitchen setup. Those farmhouse accents and simple centerpiece setup? We're in love.

@ohmydearblog: Contrary to what you think, florals *aren't* just for spring. Bring them into your abode by selecting buds in moody tones to pay homage to the season.

@simply.mrs.z: Drawn to modern style? Play up the Halloween vibes by picking black, orange and brass accents to rock on places like your bookshelf. (Bonus points for carrying the theme over to your textiles.)

@drivewaytodreams_crystal: We're going to go ahead and give two thumbs up to all of these orange-hued accents. Backdropped with a neutral furnishings and they truly *pop*!

@cripcollectiveig: For those who don't want to go overboard with the "fall stuff" this one will speak to you. Compile a couple of cute throws and a minimalist pumpkin print on your mantle and you're set

@cavcottage: Who said fun pillows were limited to furnishings only? We're ALL about this entry display.

@houseon77th: This daybed setup is a *dream*. But actually, this would be the perfect space to doze off in come the colder days.

@kristenforgione: For a more festive Halloween look, overhaul your living space with a spooky handmade addition like this one. *Googles paper bat DIYs.*
