AUTUMN CRAFTS

 CRAFTS FOR FALL


Time for making those beautiful crafty home decor items and accents for the fall season!! I love crafting and trying to come up with something different and wonderful for decorating the whole house!




I've started making fabric pumpkins out of flannel fabric and some of the left over fabrics I've had laying around for years. I am in the trial and error phase, not sure what size I want the pumpkins to be so I am experimenting with different sizes and ways to make them. There are so many cute pumpkin crafts, some out of old sweaters, socks, rectangles of fabrics, cutting out pieces or using one piece of fabric. So many styles to choose from!

I was going for sewing them but now am thinking that I'll not sew as many and go for the one piece pumpkins. The stuffed kind are to my personal liking but if I can find those styrofoam pumpkins to cover, that will be good so I don't have to purchase a ton of non-toxic fiber filler.


After I finally get the process down the way I want, I'll make a bunch of pumpkins and then move on to something else, I'm sure. But, for now, here they are and I'm going to try to post a video at my YouTube channel of me making them. First I have to find a good way to film the video and that's half the battle!


I have designs on Spoonflower Fabrics and got this cute fat quarter kit!

I started by cutting them out at the edge of the border, then put them on top of black small ribbed corduroy fabric, traced them and cut that out. Now sewing and stuffing!

Clipping the inside curves!

I'll post the photos when all of the pieces are done. I'm taking a craft break right now. But will be back with the finished product soon! Enjoy!

FACEBOOK COVERS

 

I don't have a Facebook account so I am not exactly sure if they have changed the cover banner dimensions or not! This was created some time ago but I am imagining that it is still fine to use for your Halloween Facebook page!

Just right click on it to save to your computer. Or, click HERE to download the image from my DropBox storage vault.

Here are some more Halloween and Fall Facebook Page Covers



Add your photos behind this image for a fun and unique Halloween Facebook cover! Use PhotoPea dot com to do that, it's free and easy! You can add layers and then save the file as a merged layers file in JPG or PNG file format!



I got this free Facebook cover a long time ago from someone who created a lot of them and called them 'ploppers' but I don't know who she is! It just said FBC! So, while I do not take credit for the adorable artwork, it is still a freebie!
