Autumnal and Winter Fridge Tree:

This fridge tree can easily transition from autumn to winter in a few steps. (Items available at craft stores.)

Autumnal Fridge Tree:

You will need:

• 6 printable magnet sheets
• Pencil
• Permanent marker
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Fake (silk) fall leaves
• Small magnets

Lay out the magnet sheets white-side up 2 across and 3 down and trace the trunk and branches of a tree on them. Next, use a permanent marker to draw bark lines onto the trunk so it looks like a birch tree. Cut out the pieces for the tree trunk and branches and affix to the refrigerator to make a tree. Using a hot glue gun, glue fake leaves to small magnets. Once the glue has set, arrange the leaf magnets on the branches to fill in the tree.

Winter Fridge Tree:

To transition to a winter fridge tree, you will need:

• Hot glue gun
• Plastic ornaments
• Fake pine boughs
• Small magnets

For an easy winter transition, change the tree with the change of season. Use a hot glue gun to glue small ornaments and fake pine boughs to individual small magnets. Replace the fall leaves with the pine boughs and ornaments.

Simmer Pot:

Let the smells of fall and winter float through your home. You won't need exact measurements, but you will need:

• Paring knife or vegetable peeler
• 1 to 2 oranges
• Whole cloves
• Slow cooker
• 3 to 5 cinnamon sticks
• Small handful of star anise
• Sprinkle of ground ginger, allspice or nutmeg

Use a paring knife or vegetable peeler to cut long strips of orange peel. Stud the orange peels with cloves and place in a slow cooker with the cinnamon sticks, star anise and any of those old warming spices from when you cleaned out your pantry--ground ginger, allspice and nutmeg work great. Fill the pot with water and set the slow cooker to low. The slow cooker will fill your home with scents of the holidays.

Autumnal Terrarium:

You will need:

• Acorns
• Fake (silk) fall leaves

Break up the sheet moss and arrange it on the bottom of the fish bowl. Add mini pumpkins, acorns and fake leaves inside for an autumn vignette.

Winter Terrarium:

To transform your fall terrarium into a holiday centerpiece, remove the leaves, swap the pumpkins for whole pomegranates and add holly berries, granulated sugar "snow" and edible glitter.
