DealDash Kids: Crafting Cozy Fall Spaces Together
Changing your decor when fall begins is a fun family activity. It’s even more fun when you get the whole family involved in a little autumn DIY crafting.
Fall is the perfect time to cozy up at home. Let’s embrace the season by crafting your fall decor with the kids! When you combine creativity, family time, and the warm colors of autumn, you can turn your home into a welcoming fall retreat. Plus, DIY projects are a wonderful way to engage your children while making memories together. Here are three simple and festive DIY fall decor projects from DealDash that will bring the spirit of the season into your home.
Crafting decor of any kind takes a little skill and imagination. However, just about anyone will be able to do these fun and crafty autumn decor projects.
Crafting a Fall Wreath with Dried Leaves
Nothing says fall like a gorgeous leafy wreath on your front door. Gather the kids and head outside for a leaf-collecting adventure! Look for a variety of leaves in vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. Once you’ve got your leaves, you can get started on a simple DIY wreath. You’ll need a foam or wire wreath form, some glue, and your collected leaves. Let the kids layer the leaves in a pattern or however they like. This is a great chance to let their creativity shine! You can also add small pine cones, acorns, or a festive ribbon to complete the look. Hang it proudly on your front door, and your home will instantly feel ready for fall.
Painted Pumpkins: A Kid-Friendly Twist
Pumpkin carving can be fun, but it’s not always the safest or easiest project for little hands. Instead, try painting pumpkins for a kid-friendly alternative. Grab a few small pumpkins, some non-toxic paints, brushes, and stencils (optional), and let your kids’ imaginations run wild. They can paint classic fall designs, like leaves or acorns, or even make silly faces on their pumpkins. You can encourage them to use glitter for extra sparkle. Once the pumpkins are dry, display them on your porch or as a centerpiece on your dining table for an extra pop of autumn color. This can be a messy project, so you might want to save it for a warmer day so you can paint your pumpkins outdoors.
DIY Scented Candles
For a cozy fall feel, homemade candles will do the trick. While working with hot wax might require a bit more supervision, your kids can help with scent selection, decoration, and even stirring (with care!). You’ll need soy wax flakes, candle wicks, and fall-scented essential oils. You will find all of these supplies at your local craft store, or get them online. Cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and apple pie scents are some of my favorites.
To get started, melt the wax, stir in the essential oils, and carefully pour it into small mason jars with the wick in place. If you want to be extra creative, try to find fall-themed mugs at the thrift store. They are another great vessel for DIY candles. Let your kids decorate the outside of the jars (or mugs) with twine, dried leaves, or even paint. Once the candles have set, light them up for a warm glow that fills your home with the sweet smell of fall.
