After enjoying the beach and the hot temps we get in Southern California, I am always ready for chilly nights and cooler days to return. Our front porch is usually the first area that I start to decorate. Once we pass Labor Day, my neighbors get to enjoy (okay, endure) my fall decor while it is still 90+ degrees. Hey, if kiddos are in school, the fall decorations are coming out. So let me share my rustic industrial fall porch decorations with you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101267\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/74d2571c399fc1c1c5e1b9b26002dc25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have a small porch, but enough space to create a welcoming fall area.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Fall Wreath<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101268\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/381ddeb2fcd4d690f01aaea327dea4f6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"940\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first fall goodie that went up was this gorgeous Fall Foliage Wreath. The fall colors are spot on and I love the shimmery sparkle of the leaves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101269\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/b69c458b4e284885298128471c30204b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"703\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is just something about red and orange leaves that leave me giddy!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Front Door Fall Decor<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101273\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/9883d6da4d0b09db15da655dbc2cbdd4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"970\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When brainstorming my porch I knew I wanted hay, mums, some metal pumpkins, a giant lantern and a cute DIY doormat.<\/p>\n<p>You can find these perfect sized bales of hay at The Home Depot. I grabbed two so I could stack them and create some levels for putting the pumpkins on.\u00a0Hay is a great way to instantly create a fall look.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101270\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2b7bbef9ef5a8ce7419d7c6f5c78b988-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1070\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This year, I noticed The Home Depot had these gorgeous mums in containers that look like wooden barrels. Perfect for the rustic element I wanted. They are plastic, but really look like wood.<\/p>\n<p>They had a variety of colors in the mums, but I went with red and yellow tones to match the leaf colors in the wreath.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101271\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/761c56c7d10c9414fbaecd2ff5fc1d0a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1209\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101272\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cbf0976f3c5635f32af7d6938ef86989.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I placed the giant lantern on the left side of the doorway to balance out the bales of hay on the right side. This Weathered Wood and Metal Lantern is awesome and huge. The candles are battery powered so it&#8217;s just gorgeous at night!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101288\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/d14f01194a9f31505dd3a852f1ab776c-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then it was time to add my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domestically-speaking.com\/rustic-industrial-autumn-porch\/\">DIY industrial, metal pumpkins<\/a>. I made a variety of sizes and placed them around at varies heights. Creating levels helps to create a cohesive look. It keeps your eyes happy as you take it all in!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>DIY <em>Gather<\/em> Door Mat<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101274\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/efbbb49d8d508ad578d3ce1f8b59122e-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"458\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now for the final touch, my Gather doormat. Here&#8217;s what you need to make your own custom DIY Doormat.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Materials<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coir <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and Vinyl Door Mat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freezer paper<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">X-acto <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">knife<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acrylic <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">patio paint<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foam <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paint brush<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\n<p>This was a fun DIY project. Now I don&#8217;t have a fancy cutting machine, so let me show you how to create your own doormat without one.<\/p>\n<p>My secret weapon \u2013 freezer paper! Yep, you can find it most grocery stores near the aluminum foil. I started by creating the size of the wording in a word document program on my computer. After measuring your doormat decide how big you want your wording to be and create a custom size document. Once you pick the font and size, you want to print in \u201cposter\u201d mode. This will print the lettering over multiple pages so you get it the size you want. Take your papers and tape them together to create your word. Now it&#8217;s time for some fun!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 2<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101277\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/d5af19994b0fc5b395a83e14c3d545f8-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cut a piece of freezer paper that is longer than your wording. Now if you look at the freezer paper you will see one side is shiny and the other side is a matte finish. Place the freezer paper shiny side down on a surface you can cut on. Then using painter&#8217;s tape, tape the wording on top of the freezer paper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101278\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/f8ec8d934233f69f793ce3de850e8535.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now you will need an x-acto blade to cut out the lettering. You are basically creating a template with your freezer paper. Slowly and carefully cut out the lettering. Remember you need to keep the center of your letters, like in your \u201ca\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 3<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101279\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/4847b99ba3b02577639d4eb3260be028-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you have your \u201cGather\u201d cut out you are going to lay your freezer paper (with the gather cut out of it) on top of your doormat with that shiny side still faced down. Center it where you want and then use painter&#8217;s tape to secure it.<\/p>\n<p>Then you will take a dry, high heat iron and gently press on top of the freezer paper and it will stick to the doormat. Don&#8217;t drag the iron across. You want to press the iron for about 3 to 5 seconds in an area, lift and move to another area then press that area for 3 to 5 seconds. Continue until you have the template secure. Remember to add those center letter area cut-outs with that shiny side side and iron those on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 4<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101280\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/07a4f8d1d3164b537eac51416bfbe7f6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then I used an acrylic patio craft paint (you can find it in some Home Depot stores or online) to paint the lettering. With a foam brush dab the paint onto the open area of the template. Make sure you only have a little paint on the brush and you want to pounce \u2013 up and down motion \u2013 with the brush&#8230; don&#8217;t swipe or you can lift those ironed down edges.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve completed the painting let it dry about 30 minutes and then slowly lift and pull off the freezer paper to reveal your gorgeous new custom doormat! How fun was that?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101275\"
