Gather supplies for natural crafts
The time of year has arrived to begin gathering supplies for fall crafting. Just look around – on the street, in the yard, on the playground – and you’re sure to find a plethora of natural treasures!
Sweet gumballs make the prettiest wreaths, and cornhusks can be fashioned into adorable dolls. There’s no shortage of acorns right now (unless the squirrels get them all before you do) and they can be used to create an army of creatures – all you need is a packet of those quirky sticky eyes. Autumn leaves, when preserved with Mod Podge or wax, add a vibrant affect to just about any decoration.

Cute seasonal ideas. Always amazed when folks immediately head to the large chain craft stores for so many projects. Yarn? Art supplies, etc., of course. But wreath makings and a lot of other decoration materials are readily available during a simple walk. Stymied by purchases of fabric and foam leaves. Put your wallet away and simply look down......
