We love this DIY version from Later Gator Crafts using a polystyrene foam ball and a painted spaghetti jar.

There are only two seasons in the year when you can decorate your home for football season, and those are fall and winter.

Summer is fading, and fall is slowly starting to creep in. As if we could forget with the chill in the air, the leaves begin to fall from the trees to remind us that fall is in full effect. To honor our new season, we shall decorate our home with leaves. Free, beautiful and readily available leaves. Turn your pesky sidewalk friends into a home decor staple by using them in a tablescape theme. We love this plaster leaf project from Cottage at the Crossroads that allows you to preserve their beauty through the entire autumn season.
