It’s official, the seasons have changed.
While you bring your boots, scarves and flannel shirts back into your closet, don’t forget about the easy ways to bring the fall season into your home.
If you’re looking for new ways beyond fake pumpkins and scarecrows, be sure to check out these upcoming workshops to DIY your own home decor.
Fall Floral Arrangement Workshop
Sept. 29, 1 p.m.
Rather than just walking past the flower section at the grocery store and picking up another bouquet of sunflowers for the dinner table, this fall floral arrangement class will teach you how to use garden-sourced, seasonal blooms and foliage to create a stunning arrangement for you home, made entirely by you. // Merrifield Garden Center – Fair Oaks: 12101 Lee Highway, Fairfax; $60
Textural Fall

Helen Olivia will be hosting a series of fall-inspired floral workshops, but to kick off the season, attendees can learn about the various textures and seasonal features that fall offers in the world of floral design.

Wicks & Sips & Pizza
Oct. 9, 5:30 p.m.
What could be better than making your own fall-inspired candle? Having brick-oven pizza and beer or wine to enjoy throughout the evening of crafting and creating, of course.

Autumn Wreath
Oct. 15, 6:30 p.m.
Floral arrangements are not limited to bouquets and vases. Make a fall-inspired and seasonal bloom wreath with the help of Helen Olivia Flowers, as a part of its fall series.
