I’m a summer girl through and through, but it’s hard not to get excited for all that fall has to offer!

Every year, as the leaves change and the weather cools down, I can’t wait to start lighting candles, playing cozy music, and get crafting.

Why You’ll Love These Crafts

• Affordable: These crafts are not only affordable to make, but many of them will actually save you money. By making your own natural candles, soap, or bath bombs, you can avoid paying for pricey store-bought options!
• Natural: Every craft I share is made with 100% natural ingredients. You can feel good about the ingredients that are going on your skin and in your air.
• Sustainable: Making useful, natural crafts is eco-friendly! The ingredients are sustainable, and you can reuse different containers and supplies rather than purchasing new.
• Great for all ages: Don’t get me wrong, I love making paper crafts and gluing leaves together with my kids. But when I’m planning a girls’ night or want some crafts that have a little more utility, this is what I’m looking for! These crafts are fun and functional for adults, and most of them are still easy enough for the kids to get involved.

Rosemary Mint Candles

Is there anything more cozy than lighting a scented candle as the weather gets cooler? These rosemary mint soy candles smell incredible and are made without any artificial fragrance or synthetic wax. With my simple crockpot method, making them is easy and mess-free!

DIY Coffee Candles

I always find myself craving coffee as fall approaches, and the smell filling our home is so comforting. These coffee candles give your home a mild coffee smell, and the coffee beans in the jar are simply charming! These candles make a lovely gift for all of the coffee-lovers in your life.

Candle Wax Melts

If pets or children make lit candles a bit too dangerous, homemade wax melts are the perfect solution! You can customize the shape, scent, and wax variety when you make your own wax melts, and it is such an easy craft.

Hand-Dipped Candles

My kids and I had so much fun making these hand-dipped candles. Dipping candles is such a relaxing way to spend time with friends or family! They make a beautiful centerpiece on our dinner table, and they’re a great all-natural alternative to store-bought taper candles.

DIY Wax Air Fresheners

Another flameless way to scent your air, these wax air fresheners release the scent as they sit; no warmer required. You’ll have a blast choosing your dried flowers and mold shapes, and the air fresheners will make a sweet decoration around your house!

Homemade Stovetop Potpourri

Stovetop potpourri is a fun and cozy way to scent your home naturally in the fall and winter. It smells even better when you add some essential oils! Learn how to make a stovetop potpourri for yourself or as a lovely handmade gift.

DIY Dried Potpourri

Did you know you can make your own potpourri scented with all-natural essential oils?! Get creative by choosing different colors and textures for your potpourri and making a one-of-a-kind scent. This is a great craft for kids and adults alike.

Essential Oil Diffuser Ornaments

Get ready for Christmas or make some rustic window hangings with this essential oil diffuser ornament tutorial.

Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace

These essential oil diffuser necklaces are a great craft for a girls’ night, and they make lovely gifts for the women in your life. Made with absorbent clay, they allow you to add essential oils to have aromatherapy right on your neck all day long.

Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelet

A different take on the essential oil diffuser jewelry, these bracelets are lovely and useful. You can start by making your own clay beads, then thread up a bracelet with whichever accent beads you like. It’s an engaging craft that you’ll get a lot of use out of! And if you are still dealing with bugs, you can even turn it into an insect repellent bracelet.

Essential Oil Reed Diffuser

Reed diffusers are as beautiful as they are useful, and making your own is a fun and easy project! They diffuse all of your favorite fall essential oil blends through the wooden reeds, making a long-lasting diffuser that doesn’t use any electricity. You’ll have fun choosing a lovely bottle and making unique essential oil blends!

Soap on a Rope

Making your own soap is the ultimate craft that is both enjoyable and rewarding. This soap on a rope is an easy melt and pour recipe that is endlessly customizable. Add a string to the soap bar, and you have a handy, all-natural soap to use and gift.

Fall Body Scrubs

These 3 fall body scrubs are so cozy and fun to use! They gently exfoliate your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and refreshed. I have a recipe for pumpkin spice scrub, gingerbread scrub, and apple spice scrub, and they all smell incredible. Make one of each and savor all the season has to offer!

These homemade bath bombs have dried lavender and lavender essential oil to give you the most soothing bath ever. If you have kids, get them involved and make my homemade rainbow bath bombs for kids, too!

Homemade Pine Tar Soap

This soap is, without a doubt, perfect for the man in your life! This is the one soap in the house that my husband actually claims as his. No floral scents here, just a bold, masculine bar that smells like it was made for him (because, well, it was).
