Fall lovers, it's almost time to start decorating here in Oklahoma! I don't know about the other states, but I do know that in Oklahoma, a lot of people make their own decorations.

A lot of people take up crafting in Oklahoma to have a side hustle to bring in extra money and to have a hobby to bring out that creative side of themselves.

It's also not uncommon to want to use pieces of nature around us to make the fall feeling all the more authentic. Lots of nurseries, community gardens and other stores offer real plants and crops that can be used for decoration. But sometimes using real food and real plants isn't always the smartest option.

Not all of the rules fit for everyone, especially if you have a lifestyle that fits the decor you have. For example, those who work 12 hour shifts probably don't want to worry about coming home to constantly clean as the real plants they have fall to the floor or tables.

Or if you don't have a house full of children, using scented candles for some of your decor may be a more feasible option for you and your home.
