Fall Crafts from Pinterest

Here's a list of some of the crafts I'm hoping to tackle this fall.

Pine Cone Garland
Spray paint some pine cones (or leave them natural) and tie them to twine. Easy peasy!

I might do glitter for some of mine. Spray paint it the color you want it (if desired), spray it with spray adhesive, sprinkle with glitter and attach to twine.






Fall Candle Display
This one is from Pinterest, and whoever pinned it before me did not link to the original content - I'm sorry about that! But, you can see that it's just popping corn in the bottom of a big vase and pillar candles with a real (or fake) leaf tied around the candle with twine. So easy!

This one can easily be adapted for other holidays. Replace the popping corn with candy corn for Halloween, red hots or red/green M&Ms for Christmas, blue/white M&Ms for Hanukkah, conversation hearts for Valentine's Day, pastel M&Ms for Easter and the list goes on...







Pumpkins & Sticks in a Vase
You can get sticks from your yard and supplement with a few twirly ones from the craft store. Such a cute idea!















Now that you've decorated for fall, surely you want to have some friends over to celebrate! Here are some great ideas for a fall party.

Ginger Apple Bourbon Cocktail

2 parts fresh apple cider
2 parts spicy ginger beer (or ginger ale)
1 part Kentucky bourbon (I recommend Bulleit)

Stir & enjoy! I imagine you could serve this hot or cold. The apple slice is cute, but a cinnamon dried apple slice would make a great garnish, as well.











Pumpkin Dip
This pumpkin dip has only 6 ingredients, and the instructions are basically "stir, chill, serve". Couldn't be easier!

I love the serving vessel, this is too cute. A small jack-o-lantern style pumpkin would work, as would a large sugar pie pumpkin.

This photo shows graham crackers and Nilla wafers for dippers. You could also put out apple slices, Teddy Grahams, ginger snaps or any other dipper you think sounds delicious!
