Simply Clever Autumn Crafts

Autumn leaves, pumpkins, orange and black decor, and inspiration from nature are recurring themes when it comes to fall arts and crafts.

But every once in a while, I come across simple and unique crafts that impress me! Luckily for me, several cute and quirky fall crafts were linked up to last week’s Family Fun Friday. I know I just featured Fall crafts but the one’s I picked this week blew me away with their rustic charm and creative use of fall crafting themes!

This Fall banner from Vibrant Homeschooling is so amazing.  The owl and other art on the banner make such creative use natural, found items!

I love these adorable Acorn Bells from Fireflies and Mudpies! They are simple to make and so cute.

Castleview Academy shared these easy Autumn Leaf People.  I love that the child’s vision comes to life with this project.

If you’ve visited here in the past, you know that we love to make DIY window clings, like our Glow in the Dark Jack O’Lantern Window Clings.  We haven’t made Halloween Gel Window Clings like these from Science Kiddo, though! I can’t wait to try this method.

I love this Raven wreath from Crafty Journal. Not only is it made from a brown paper bag but it reminds me how much I love Edgar Allen Poe.

One Little Project’s Pumpkin Carving Hacks has me wondering why I have never thought to use my drill on a pumpkin! It might get messy but it will be worth it. It looks like a fun project and is gorgeous to boot.

Thank you for these clever and quirky little crafts.  I loved seeing such unique projects linked up this week.

Onto this week’s Party!
