Growing up in Oregon as a child, I found fall to be an exciting time of the year. The weather would get cold, and of course, there was the rain. We did many indoor arts and crafts projects during that time of year. As the crisp air of autumn sets in, it seemed the perfect season to dive into arts and crafts that capture the warmth and beauty of fall. Whether you’re working with children or simply getting creative yourself, here are some cozy craft ideas using felt, markers, stamps, and more to make the most of the season.
Cozy Fall Creations
Leaf Garlands: Cut felt into different leaf shapes in warm autumn hues—deep reds, oranges, and browns. String them together to create garlands that can be hung across doorways or windows.
Felt Animals: Craft woodland creatures like foxes, owls, and squirrels. Use felt pieces to create their features and glue them onto cards or posters, or display them as standalone decorations. Be sure to finish up by using color markers for details on your felt animals.
Autumn Trees: Use brown markers to draw tree trunks and branches, then let the kids add colorful leaves using yellow, red, and orange markers. They can even create a tree for each family member and write down what they’re thankful for.
Pumpkin Art: Rather than carving pumpkins, let kids use felt markers to decorate them. They can draw funny faces, spooky designs, or create intricate patterns. The best part? No mess to clean up!
Greeting Cards: Create handmade cards for Thanksgiving or autumn birthdays by using stamps of leaves, pumpkins, or acorns. Personalize them with colorful pens and a heartfelt message.
Seasonal Gift Tags: Use small stamps to create custom gift tags for fall-themed treats or gifts. A simple leaf or tree stamp can transform a plain tag into something special.
Autumn arts and crafts are a wonderful way to embrace the season’s beauty and creativity. With the right materials, such as felt, markers, and stamps, you can craft projects that warm the heart and brighten up those chilly days.
