Yes, it looks so simple it is probably impossible. So I tried this one myself. It is really this easy! Looking for a simple, creative DIY jewelry project you can literally make in minutes, here is your craft. So easy, you can make one for every friend you have, one for every finger, one for every day of the week. Fashion earrings with these cute bows, fashion big ones for a bracelet, make them in all sort of colors of wire. The creative possibilities are endless.

2. DIY Pom Pom Wall Hanging

sugarandcloth

Having followed their latest ideas over the past few months, I think Sugar and Cloth has some of the most fun ideas around these days. Not your average wall art idea, this pom pom wreath is super original, but festive, creative and packed with personality. Why? Because you get to make each individual pom pom, and each DIY pom pom is pretty much a tiny little work of art in itself. Making the pom poms one by one can be a series of fun little projects to entertain you on rainy days, long bus rides, endless waits, too. Put them all together at the end for a fabulously “not square”  work of art to all to admire.

3. DIY Painted Feathers

soulmakes

Painted feathers have become quite the popular crafting item as of late, but this arts and crafts idea can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish.  You can make solid color jewel tone statement feathers, super simple ombre feathers, or mix in some patterned motif masterpieces like the ones above. Painted feathers are nice to hang in the wall, make a DIY mobile with, use to decorate gift packaging, handmade cards, or just to sit and admire.

4. How to Make Bottle Cap Magnets

beaglesandbargains

I end up decorating my fridge with magnets so I can keep photos and such in view, but I abhor the kind you get in stores. Plus, I end up with an odd assortment that just never looks right. Pretty patterned bottle cap magnets make fridge art not so boring.  Make some of these homemade magnets for yourself, and keep some for last minute gift ideas. Cute craft idea that is easy enough for kids and teens but perfect for all ages to make at home. Super easy and cheap. too!

5. DIY Geometric Bowls

tatertotsandjello

I simply could not believe these bowls were made out of paper until I saw and made one myself.

OK, this is only somewhat true…a diehard fan of paper crafts, I was amazed when I realized I had never seen anything like this yet and just had to make one myself. Super cool and clever design allows you to make fabulous bowls like this out of you got it, paper. Try it out today, these are sure to impress. I made two and imagine all my friends will have a few soon as well. This is a super project for using all those lovely but way too thick for the project you bought them for pieces of paper.

6. Simple Shaggy Heart Pillow

This handmade pillow is a fun and easy room decor idea that is easy enough for beginners and teens to make without fear of a monstrous Pinterest fail. You simply create coils of fabric and use a glue gun to adhere them to your pillow in the shape of a heart. You could make any shape, really, and this heart can also be applied to a canvas to make creative wall art on a budget. Easy to follow Youtube video tutorial shows you exactly how to make this fun craft idea.

Coasters are one of the easiest ways to flip your decor over from summer to fall in a really quick and subtle way. Sure, you could find pre-made fall coasters in the nearest home store, but making your own is always more fun! Confessions of a Home Schooler suggests putting your decoupage skills to use and pasting freshly fallen leaves on the surface of square tiles to make low maintenance fall coasters!

2. Little leaf people

Do your kids love a good excuse to colour and craft on something other the the usual regular paper you give them for drawing, colouring, and gluing? Well, you might not have guessed it, but leaves make a great canvas too! At Home With Ali suggests drawing on them or decorating them with stickers.

3. Crayon and leaf rubbings

Leaf rubbings have been a classic fall time craft for kids for generations! If we had to guess when they started became popular we’d probably say the beginning of time, and they’re still going because they’re just that much fun. Creative Chicks at Play reminds you how they’re done, even though the technique hasn’t changed since you were a kid!

4. Leaf tree paint print

This gorgeous method of painting, featured here on Pinterest is like the opposite of using a stencil! Instead of painting in the negative space, paint the surface of the leaf in different colours so that when you press it face down onto a page, the raised features of the leaf imprint like a stamp!

5. Little leaf owls

When you were a kid, did you ever cut colours and pictures out of magazines and use the pieces to make a kind of collaged picture of something else? Well, you can do the same thing with different colours of leaves! Check out how What’s Up With That? made this adorable green owl sitting on an actual “branch”!

6. DIY clay leaf bowls

Okay, so this project isn’t actually made of real leaves, but it almost looks real! This gorgeous decorative side bowl is made of clay with the fine details engraved into the surface. You could make it out of any colours you choose, but we love these reds, greens, and golds, just like real fallen leaves! Check it out on One Project Closer.

7. Leaf collaged wall art

Did you like the leaf piece owl art but you’d rather create a collage using dried fall leaves in all of their autumn coloured glory? Then try making a beautiful piece on a backing of smooth wood! We love this giant leaf made of other leaves by Tip Junkie.

8. Beaded leaf necklace

In the springtime kids made daisy chain necklaces and in the summer they make dandelion crowns, but what can they do in the fall when all the warm weather plants stop blooming? Beaded leaf necklaces, of course! You might buy faux leaves made of fabric for your kids to craft with, or you might help them collect actual leaves from the yard to get crafty with. Check the idea out on Kiwi Crate.

9. Leaf and pipe cleaner butterflies

Leaves come in all different shapes and sizes, but most of them look like impressive butterfly wings if you turn them sideways! That’s why this post from Pinterest suggests making a little bug’s body out of pipe cleaners, giving it some googly eyes, and attaching a tilted leaf on each side.

10. Leaf magnets

Filth Wizardry guides you through the process of laminating fallen leaves of all shapes and sizes and gluing magnetic strips on the back to make beautiful autumn fridge magnets! We like these so much that we’d be tempted to leave them up all year round.

11. Mason jar leaf lanterns

Did you really like the idea of doing decoupage with leaves like we suggested earlier on the list, but you’re not sure you need anymore drink coasters? Check out this adorable little fall lantern idea from Creative Party Ideas by Cheryl instead! All you need besides your leaves is an empty mason jar, a tea light candle, and some clear drying liquid glue!

12. Leaf place cards for dinner

Are you looking for a place card idea for Thanksgiving dinner that’s easy enough for the kids to make and still totally on theme for the season? Follow in North Texas Kids‘ footsteps and have them write their family members’ names right onto the surface of some fallen leaves! Let them draw on the leaves or even add a little glitter for some extra glam.

13. Popsicle stick leaf puppets

When you’re a kid with lots of imagination, pretty much anything can become a character with a personality. That’s why Happy Home Fairy suggests making little popsicle stick leaf people with your kids this fall! We can’t get over how hilarious each little puppet’s googly eyes will look.

14. Autumn leaf stained glass

Okay, so perhaps you shouldn’t let your kids actually paste leaves to the glass in your windows permanently, but you can create the illusion using wax paper! When the sun shines through the window, the leaves will glow all kinds of warm fall colours. Check out how these “stained glass” windows are made on Artful Parent!

15. Autumn leaf door wreath

We say this a lot because they’re such a fun, diverse craft to make, but door wreaths aren’t just for Christmas time like you might think! There are plenty of gorgeous autumn door wreaths that you can make yourself as well. Our favourite idea is to make it right out of fallen leaves from the park or your yard, just like The Frugal Homemaker did here.
