Autumn is here, and with it, the exciting call of the crafting season!
Busy afternoons on crisp, cool days are made perfect when we transform those cozy indoors into a crafting station alive with the earthy hues and textures of the season – fiery reds, vibrant oranges, and golden yellows.
There's something about autumn that screams imagination, and today, we're diving headfirst into decades of charming arts and crafts spanning over 30 delightful ideas.
Embrace the season in more ways than one by creating a kaleidoscope of fall crafts for kids. From the sparkly twinkle of adhesive felt to the natural treasures of pinecones and acorns (dried and worm-free), we're about to get wonderfully crafty.
But that's not all – our fall crafting session wouldn't be complete without thousands of pretty little pom poms in those luscious fall colors. You know, because everything's better with pom poms, right?
So, if you're still wondering what supplies to buy, let me give you a few ideas. Of course, there's scrapbook paper and paint in those rich autumn colors, but what else? Here are some other suggestions:
- Natural materials: Grab an array of fall leaves, pinecones, acorns, twigs, and feathers.
- Tissue paper
- Feathers
- Felt – I especially love sparkly and/or adhesive felt!
- Cork, especially wine corks for stamps
- Beads – wood, plastic, and perler beads
- Foil (which you can paint)
- Pom poms – the assortment bags at Michaels are fantastic with their fall colors
Now let's dive into the autumn bounty of craft ideas for your little crafters! From creative uses of natural materials to upcycled crafts, there's something for everyone.
