Newest Contest Entries ~ Time to Vote!
1. Â Candy Apples ~Â Handmade arrows pierce homemade candy apples to make a fun and creative fall wedding favor.
2. Â Beaded Indian Corn Pin ~Â This is is an easy to make Beaded Indian Corn Pin using pipe cleaners, beads and corn husks. So cute and easy enough for kids to make! You can wear this on jackets or a blouse or you could even dress up a t-shirt.
3. Â DIY Burlap Pennant Banner ~ Burlap is perfect for fall projects. Â Depending on the size of your mantle you could spell FALL or AUTUMN. Â This project takes about 2 hours from start to finish.
Crafty Food
4. Â Glazed Citrus Doodles ~Â Lemon/Orange glazed cookies. The cookies are soft like a snickerdoodle and taste like a citrus sugar cookie. Delicious, simple to make and a nice change from the traditional holiday cookies.
5. Â Mini Pumpkin Bites ~Â These are especially fun for the little ones. My kids still struggle with a whole cupcake or dessert (and I struggle to manage them afterwards!), but both of them love to get these mini pumpkin bites here and there. So much better for all involved, trust me! Or these would be perfect little appetizers for guests over the holidays.
6. Â Pumpkin Pie in a Jar ~Â For Halloween this year, weÂ’re hosting a pumpkin-themed party to slim down our enormous squash harvest from the family garden. WeÂ’ll be serving pumpkin soup with pumpkin biscuits, drinking pumpkin juice, and for dessert? You guessed it: pumpkin pieÂ…

11. Â Autumn Wreath ~Â These are excellent homemade gifts and decor because they can be 100% customizable from colors and types of yarn used. Yarn comes in so many textures, colors, thickness and fibers.

Fall Tutorials
14.  Fall Mantle ~ Instead of the traditional Fall colors (aka shades of orange & red) I decided to go with a decor scheme that represents the cozy warmth and feel of Fall.  I wanted to go with a more neutral, nature inspired color scheme that used natural elements and textures with subtle hints of color.
15. Â Framed Artwork ~Â This project is so incredibly simple to create and costs less than $15 to boot! With some scrapbook supplies laying around the house and a picture frame, you can create an eye catching piece of custom artwork that fits your family!
16. Â Lovely Paper Flower ~Â A project for every season, this paper flower tutorial gives a little bit of a color twist so you can add that special touch of fun to any project or decoration!
