I don’t know
about you, but fall is a time when I love to decorate and do craft projects
because the holidays are coming around the corner. First, you can decorate for autumn with fall
leaves, pumpkins, apples, cinnamon and all the wonderful foods and scents
associated with fall. Right after that,
you can decorate for Halloween, and then Thanksgiving, and before you know it,
Christmas is here! This time of year
makes it so much more fun to do craft projects because you can instantly use
them as decorations for the holiday seasons and brighten up your home with some
holiday cheer!
I am a big
fan of Martha Stewart’s holiday craft projects, as well as her big book of
crafts. They are always beautifully
done, the instructions are clear, and can be a jumping off point for finding
other project ideas.
Her website is also wonderful to use as
well. Everything is broken down into
clear and easy-to-follow steps. It
contains holiday crafts, regular craft projects, food and entertaining ideas,
and recipes galore.
Another
inspiration source for craft projects for me and my family has been Pinterest. If you have never heard of this site, I
highly recommend checking it out. It is
basically a great big bulletin board for sites you find interesting on the
internet, or to find new sites that might interest you. I love to use it for craft projects and DIY
projects. And some of the holiday
projects they have on Pinterest are
amazing.
I recently
threw a baby shower for my sister that was The Very Hungry
Caterpillar themed. I used Pinterest to
gather ideas from everything about what to serve as food, table landscapes, and
party decorations. And I could share all
the ideas instantly with other family members who were helping to plan the
party.
Another
website I like to browse is the Better Homes
& Gardens website. They have
great DIY projects, cool room makeovers and stunning furniture transformations.
