As the weather cools and the daylight shortens huddle up at home and make some fall crafts to pass the time in fun and creative fashion.
The slower months of fall is the perfect time to learn new crafts or teach others crafts you know. It’s so important that we teach the next generation the skills we know or are learning. It doesn’t have to be complicated or frustrating; just take your time and enjoy the process.
Most of these crafts use items that are easily found around your home or property. We also have a craft supplies and resource page with links to products we recommend.
