I love fall, especially early fall before it gets too chilly.
Once the weather starts cooling down, there’s something so fun about swapping out home decor—lighter throws get tucked away, pumpkins and warm-toned accents make their annual debut, and my craft table suddenly fills with projects that feel just a little more cozy. Decorating for fall makes the season feel official, and Michaels is my go-to for bringing those festive touches (and DIY ideas, if I’m feeling especially ambitious) to life.
You probably recognize Michaels as North America’s largest arts and crafts retailer, with everything from seasonal decor to art supplies, florals, frames, and more. But what I love most is that they make it so easy to shop smart. Right now through August 30, Michaels’ 5-Star Super Sale is packed with BOGOs on thousands of items and deals you won’t want to miss. Then, starting August 31, they roll into The Big Fall Sale, where you can score up to 50% off select items.
If you prefer shopping online, Michaels also has a lineup of rotating promo codes that make stocking up even more affordable. From August 22-24, you’ll save 35% off your entire regular-price purchase with code SUPER35. The savings keep going with 25% off August 25-27 (code AUG25OFF) and a whopping 40% off August 28-September 1 (code GET40NOW).
Between the major sales in-store and these online promos, it’s basically the perfect excuse to grab a few fall-ready pieces, or anything else on your crafting/DIY list. With that said, here are some seasonal staples and must-haves that will help bring a little fall cheer to your home!
If you think balloons are just for birthdays, think again. From football tailgates to Halloween get-togethers, they’re the easiest way to set the mood without a lot of effort. I always keep a few on hand for family celebrations (it’s amazing how quickly foil balloons can make even a casual football party feel festive).
And right now, Michaels is making it too good to pass up. From August 19 through the end of the year, you can score 3 for $9.99 foil balloons and 12 for $12 latex balloons. Talk about a deal! You’ll be glad you stocked up.
One of the easiest and most fun ways to welcome the season is by layering in warm, autumnal touches at home. I’m talking about leafy garlands draped across the mantel, a red-and-gold wreath on the front door, a cluster of mini pumpkins on the dining table, or even a pumpkin glass container filled with fall florals. Scented pine cones tucked into a bowl add instant cozy vibes, and hanging baskets of autumn blooms can brighten up an entryway or porch.
The best part is that Michaels’ Big Fall Sale makes it easy to bring all of these seasonal touches to life, with up to 50% off fall florals, decor, lighting, and more.
Crafting, art supplies, & DIY must-haves
Fall is prime crafting season, whether you’re scrapbooking, painting, or even pulling together a handmade Halloween costume. In my family, we keep things simple with easy projects like painting wooden pumpkins, or decorating mason jars with twinkle lights. My cousin, on the other hand—she freelances as a calligrapher—spends more money than anyone else I know on supplies for the place cards and placemats she makes every Thanksgiving.
However you like to craft, Michaels’ rotating sales mean that you can fill your cart with everything from paints and paper to glue guns and embellishments…without overspending!
Frames & home accents you’ll love
As you’re refreshing your decor for fall, don’t forget those walls and tabletops. Now’s the time to put up those autumn-themed art prints, or even line up a new set of candles or lanterns on your mantel. Layering in warm textures and rich hues instantly makes any room feel more inviting.
Michaels carries everything you need to refresh your home for the season, including decorative frames and photo displays, plus cozy accents (many of which are included in the Big Fall Sale!).
Now that it’s already (checks calendar) nearing the end of August, it’s time to start refreshing your home for cooler weather. Good thing Michaels makes it so easy and affordable to bring your fall mood board to life!
