Fall Crafting Ideas

Fall might mean pumpkin-spiced everything, but it also means something else: creativity is in season! Whether you want to transform your house into a harvest wonderland or create some handmade gifts for loved ones, there are a plethora of ideas at your fingertips. Consider the following:

Foraged Fall Wreath

This foraged fall wreath is made with sweetgum balls (which aren’t for chewing, no matter how appetizing they sound). While sweetgum trees are native to certain areas in the South and East, allowing people in those areas to forage for their supplies, Coloradans might have to get more inventive. Don’t worry: you can forage at Etsy, Ebay, or Walmart.   

Pumpkin Pie Soap

If you’ve ever flirted with the idea of making your own soap, there’s no time like the present. This pumpkin pie soap looks like a slice of pumpkin pie topped off with a dollop of whipped cream. But its allure isn’t just in its good looks; it smells like pie, as well. Make some soap for your home or give it away as a gift. 

Dropcloth Sunflowers

Dropcloth sunflowers are a perfect way to give your home a rustic look while making use of the old drop cloths taking up space in your garage. This project requires some canvas, mason jar lids and rings, homespun fabric, cotton balls (or fiberfill), and craft tools. It requires a pot of strong coffee, as well (for staining), which most people tend to already have on hand anyway!

Pumpkin Patch Sign

If you’re itching to make some Halloween decor, a pumpkin patch sign can add some fall flair to your front door or kitchen wall. Made with a wooden plank (that you can find at Target or a craft store), stencils, and paint, this is a quick and easy project with staying power. Drag it out of the attic every October. 

Candy Corn Candle Holder

If you consider yourself creatively limited and see your DIY skills as DOA, this candy corn candle holder might be right up your alley. All it requires is a few bags of candy corn, pillar candles, and glass hurricane candle holders. The candy corn gives the candles stability, keeping them upright. However, don’t leave them lit unattended as a precaution. Burnt candy corn doesn’t smell as good as you might think. 


With cooler weather forcing people indoors, fall is a great time for crafting. These projects are an excellent way to channel your inner artist and make your home a bit more festive in the process.
