It’s been a long time since I’ve browsed etsy for a “Small Biz Showcase” post. This time, I thought I would focus on fun autumn-themed activities for kids and adults alike. Anything that can get us off of our screens and into the real and tangible!
Be sure to check out etsy’s Fall Decor Essentials for more autumn inspiration too.
+ A really cute idea for kids is this turkey suncatcher kit from Punch of Color. Simple and mess free, the kit comes with everything you need to complete the project. The shop has a ton of adorable options, including everything from fall leaves and pumpkins to hearts, butterflies and Christmas trees!
+ Another craft project perfect for little kids is this autumn leaf bracelet kit from NoPixieNo. Again, everything you need is included in the package; the shop even includes a tiny clothespin to stop the beads from sliding off as you string them! So smart. Be sure to check out the rest of the shop for more bracelet and keychain options. I think they’d make great stocking stuffers.
+ When I saw these felt ornaments from wild olive, I immediately pictured them as a sweet gift topper. How cute would it be tucked into the ribbon surrounding a baked good for a neighbor or friend? The listing is a 17-page PDF file that includes all the instructions you need to make nine felt ornaments. You’ll have to purchase your own materials but the shop owner shares her sources so you can get just the right products.
+ Do you crochet? I really liked this simple and understated pumpkin pillow pattern from Seacliffe Cottage. This is a digital pattern, so you’ll have the ability to choose your favorite yarn and color. The customer photos are very inspirational – I love the cream, but another buyer made one in a dark forest green and it is lovely.
+ Look at this sunflower mosaic kit from Mosaics at the Farm! The kit includes just about everything you need – you only need to provide the water and a throwaway container to mix the grout. I love the idea of using it as a coaster. So unique. This is the kind of project that would be fun to do with a friend.
+ I’ve been fascinated by punch needle art, but have never tried it. This “Autumn Leaves” kit from Sweet Autumn Studio is beautiful!
+ How about a little cross stitch? I loved this “Hare in Autumn Wreath” cross stitch pattern from Needle Treasures Nook. Looks simple enough to start and finish quickly and it’s an instant download so you can get right to work.
+ Another activity I would love to learn someday is needle felting. This mini pumpkin needle felting kit from Felted Sky is perfect for the season and a small enough project to not be overwhelming. With three pumpkins in the kit, this would be another fun project to do with some friends.
The mini pumpkins are so cute
I think so too!
Always a champion for the ‘little guys.’ I love and admire that about you.
continually inspired by your blog. thanks for being true to you always.
