Fall Crafts Ideas To Get You In The Mood For Crafting

The children are all back in school and you have some time for yourself. There is no better time to bring out your craft ideas and getting ready for the season.

With the leaves turning colors and rain coming in (I live in Oregon and we get rain) the mind naturally turns to crafts you want to make.

Also, Christmas is not far away and maybe you need to make some new decorations or even make your homemade presents. Now is the time to get busy on them.

Fall Designs And Decorations

• Stores will start having sales on Halloween and Thanksgiving paper goods.Now is the time to buy them while they are on sale.
• A great way to spend the day is at the beach after a storm.You can find all kinds of driftwood and sea shells to use in your crafts.
• Bring some fall colors into the house.Wire some autumn findings to plant pokes and add them to plants and floral arrangements.
• Decorate your house.Fill candy jars, small tins and baskets with candy corn and mixed nuts.
