Rainy Day Creating

We've got rain
and
lots of it.
Perfect for creating inside!
I shared this rainy day craft last year,
but thought it would be fun to share once again.

What did we do before the Dollar Stores?

On a shopping visit, I found some great little pumpkins

ready to finish with accents and trims.

I had an idea

 to decorate a few to display in my vintage Blue Willow cups under cloches

in a corner hutch.

To begin,

I purchased 3 little light weight pumpkins

topped with a fall flower and a few berries.

Cost 3 dollars.

To these I added glitter on the pumpkins in a dot pattern, added old buttons, vintage  lace, paper roses

and glitter outlining the leaves.

Cost, 0 dollars as these were in my crafting stash.

Next I added a little Halloween tag to each

courtesy of

The Graphics Fairy

Cost 0 dollars.

Here they are in the cups, under the cloches,

displayed on the hutch,

Cost 0 dollars.

Love the simple uncluttered look.

And for one last Dollar Store Craft.

I purchased a 10 inch grapevine wreath.

Cost 1 dollar.

A garland vine of leaves.

Cost 1 dollar.

Wrapped the vine around the wreath.

Added a little sign repainted from my stash and a few leaves I had on hand.

Cost 0 dollars.

Total cost 2 dollars to complete.

You could add anything you have on hand if you don't paint.

A graphic glued to a piece of wood,

a bow, or maybe a few pumpkin picks.

Here's where I placed my rainy day craft.

These ideas from items purchased from the Dollar stores

are great craft projects for the kids too.

Fun to do on a rainy afternoon.

Great for us big kids too!!

Have you created any rainy day crafts lately?

Have fun.

Thank you for stopping by and your comments.

See you soon.

Happy Creating!
