Celebrating Autumn Festival {Fall Crafts & Decor Link-up}
I’m so excited to be participating in Celebrating Autumn: A Festival Of Home with four other awesome bloggers. There will be crafts, food and decor galore!
Today I’m kicking off the week with a fun Fall craft, giveaway and link-up! Here is the schedule for the rest of the week:
- Tuesday – Deborah @ Taste and Tell – Recipes
- Wednesday – Jen @ Tatertots and Jello – Decor and Crafts
- Thursday – Liz @ Hoosier Homemade – Recipes
- Friday – Amy @ Positively Splendid – Decor and Crafts
Homemade Fall Leaf Banner
Isn’t it adorable?!
This craft is both kid-friendly and Fall decor-friendly. I remember doing a similar project at day camp when I was a very little girl. Ridley “helped” me with this banner craft as much as an almost 2 year old can. Ha! We enjoy looking at it every day.
Click to read the entire Homemade Fall Leaf Banner tutorial!
To sweeten the Celebrating Autumn Festival even more, I have a wonderful giveaway for you from I Shoot Nouns! I Shoot Nouns is a fabulous Etsy shop run by a photo-graphics artist named Gretchin. I {heart} her creativity!
“Autumn is the second Spring when every leaf is a flower.”

Renee’ Simmons´s last blog post ..Kohls HOT DEAL that I scored!
I’m really excited about the Fall decor ideas that you’ll share this week. My goal today is to try making the wreath that you showed a couple of weeks ago (the one on your front door). I don’t expect mine to have the same great outcome but I sure am going to try. The vegetable cans are really a unusual addition. I’ve told my mom and sisters all about it. 🙂 Thanks for the ideas.
Fabulous Monica! I can’t wait to hear how it goes for you! 🙂
I adore genealogy-art picture (maiden name is Johnson), but I honestly have thought of something similar for a tattoo! Love Love!
