A fallen leaf can become a tray for everyday treasures. A tree stump can become a pedestal for your collectibles. A few mushrooms can light up a corner of your desk.

This autumn, take inspiration from forests and plants to create something beautiful and thoughtfully designed for your home with 3D printing. From handy everyday organizers to decorations that deserve a second look, your creations can bring a little warmth, nature, and autumn charm into daily life.

What to Create

Autumn Storage: A Place for Every Little Thing

Take inspiration from branches, leaves, fruits, tree rings, and other natural elements to design organizers for desks, entryways, or bedside tables.

Ideas: Fallen-leaf trays, branch hooks, acorn storage boxes, tree-stump pen holders, and desktop shelves.

Design focus: Bring natural forms and storage functions together, considering capacity, ease of access, and stability.

Woodland Displays: A Home for Your Favorite Collectibles

Create a woodland-inspired setting for figurines, blind-box collectibles, collectible pins, and more—making the display itself part of your home decor.

Ideas: Tree-stump pedestals, mushroom display shelves, tiered woodland stands, leaf-shaped pin displays, and modular forest-themed display bases.

Design focus: Consider the size of the items on display, stability, and viewing angles. Use different heights and thoughtful layouts to showcase your collectibles.

Autumn in Motion: Bring Windows and Doorways to Life

Incorporate autumn leaves, mushrooms, pinecones, and woodland animals into hanging decorations that add gentle movement and playful charm to your home.

Ideas: Autumn-leaf wind chimes, owl hanging ornaments, pinecone door hangings, and woodland mobiles.

Design focus: Consider balance, connection methods, and ease of assembly. Wind chime entries should demonstrate both movement in the breeze and sound; silent designs may be submitted as kinetic hanging decorations. If your design uses cord, bells, metal tubes, or other additional components, please provide their specifications and assembly instructions.

A Forest Corner: A Touch of Nature at Home

Draw inspiration from plant forms and forest landscapes to create home accessories for windowsills, bookshelves, or beside your desk.

Ideas: Bark-textured planters, climbing-plant supports, leaf ornaments, mushroom lamps, and woodland bookends.

Design focus: Refine your design for its intended setting. For planters, explain the drainage or inner-pot setup. For lamps, specify compatible light sources and provide assembly instructions.

These examples are just a starting point—feel free to combine ideas across categories. Your entry should reflect nature or autumn inspiration and have a clear function or decorative role in the home.
