The Harvest is here! Pumpkins, Color changes, and more pumpkins (and anything with pumpkin spice!). I really love this time of year, Here in Southern California it’s taking some time for our season to change but that doesn’t mean the ambiance can’t…
I love getting into a creative mode. It’s a great way for me to release my stress from the day Something about hot glue, ribbon, and the sound of scissors cutting really soothes me. I like to craft once my kids are asleep and it is a great way to end my hectic days.
So this year I looked around Pinterest and found some really simple and cute things I could make, and wanted to share these ideas with all my successful mommies out there. Most of these supplies you already have in your house, if you don’t you can find many things at the Dollar store. They make great décor additions, gifts, and treats for your little ones. Ultimately it’s something to do if you enjoy this type of thing. So check out my simple DIY fall and Halloween crafts
- Mason Jar Candle holder:
I actually got this idea from Pinterest and added a few of my personal touches to it. The great thing about these jars is you can add more things inside them if you want to switch up the look. This was really simple to make. I actually used some jars I had around my house. First I washed the jars, placed 3D fall/autumn stickers around it. You can use paint or ribbon, whatever you like best. Once finished, I added a scented candle (something with a spice at the end, of course) and voila! I also tied some decorative ribbon at the top of the jar to complete the look. You can add a bow for a cuter look.
- Mason Jar Candy Corn Pumpkin
I also found this on google images as an example. I love this and am actually using it as a gift for my son’s preschool teacher. Another simple thing to make and adding your own touch makes it so personal. Fill a jar with Braches candy corn, draw a pumpkin face using a black sharpie, add a note/date on the back, and add a ribbon for décor. So simple and look so cute.
- Mummy Mini Pizzas.
I found this recipe on Therecipecritic.com this place has tons of great ideas for all holidays. I really loved this one because of the Halloween theme and I especially think that the kids at my son’s preschool are going to love it. They are so simple and only took me about 20 minutes to prep and bake, another great thing is all the ingredients only cost me about 12 bucks! You can check out more recipes from this site by clicking the link.
I also made some cute and simple goodie bags for my son’s class mostly using things I bought from the dollar tree store. So if you’re thinking of getting into your craftier side during this time and the approaching holiday seasons you should definitely check these out. I’ll be posting more ideas as the holidays approach.
Hope you enjoyed my post and please share your comments and feedback with me. I love to hear from you all! Thanks for stopping by and keep my blog going so that together we can strive for mommy success! J
