Strawflower Garland
This is one of those slow, seasonal crafts to usher in autumn and put to use the beautiful strawflower heads you've grown and collected this summer. My favorite crafts are the ones I create with natural elements from my garden and supplies I already have on hand. Strawflower garland can add a whimsical touch to your greenhouse, chicken coop, and your next birthday celebration. -

Low-Waste Bird Seed Valentine
We love to birdwatch on our homestead so when I saw these homemade heart-shaped bird seed ornaments on Pinterest, I knew they'd make the perfect low-waste, handmade Valentine's this year. This craft stretches across a wide range of ages and gives the kids a great opportunity to practice measurements, fill molds, count, scissor skills, writing their names, and tying. It's the perfect rainy day activity, a great alternative to candy or plastic trinket Valentine's, and your feathered friends will be grateful. -
