I made this British Flag inspired art for my nephew, Kirby. He is 18 and collects flags from around the world, so I thought this would go...

Gearing Up For Fall Crafts

There is a chill in the air this morning. School is starting on Tuesday and with that comes a change in the weather. I always get an itch for crafting in the fall. I have been taking a look back at some of the fall projects I've made over the years.  So I can come up with something new. I thought I would share them with you. 
 


Repurposed sweater pumpkins.




Boo Banner and kid craft: paper mache cones painted by Sophie to resemble candy corns.



Candy corn painted scrap wood. Our baby pumpkins from the pumpkin patch field trip.

 
Sophie's owl costume made from old flannel shirts. I made this last year and she loved it!
I have to come up with something for this year. Any suggestions?



Fall Welcome Sign. {I must confess this sign has been hanging here all summer, too.}



Spooky Prints from Graphics Fairy images printed in black and white and colored with orange colored pencil then framed. Easiest fall craft with huge impact.
 
 
Soon I will be pulling our scarecrow out of storage and propping him up here on the porch.
 
I've all ready got Sophie painting a paper mache witch hat from Michael's. We are both doing one for a table top display, for her birthday which happens to be on Halloween.  Here are a few of the things I did for her party too...



Center piece for Sophie's birthday party, salt water taffies on skewers. They were a huge hit.

 
The owl cupcakes I made for Sophie's class room birthday party last Halloween. Just Oreo cookies and Reese's pieces. Simple and fun!
 
October is shaping up to be a busy month, especially since I plan to do the 31 day challenge again. Not sure the topic, but will probably focus on the 2 things I love to do the most, painting and blogging.
 
Are you ready to get crafty for fall? What craft projects are you working on?
