This next one literally caught our eye as it totally reminds us of a bird’s nest which is so cute. Obviously, you don’t have to get an actual bird’s nest. You can for sure do this with grapevine too.

This next one is a total inspiration from Halloween’s jack-o-lanterns. Instead of putting the lantern inside the pumpkin, you put it on top of the pumpkin and add some fall leaves for the fall effect.

We always tell people that lanterns don’t look complete unless they come in a pair. I mean, take a look at these lanterns and how they complement each other and the haystack décor behind them.
