Mason Jar Turkeys
Hi again, it's Megan from Homemade Ginger. We are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and I have a super easy and cute craft that you will love! Thanksgiving tends to get pushed to the side as Christmas creeps in earlier and earlier every year. I try to cherish Thanksgiving and make the most of it before the craziness of the holidays begin. It's tempting to try to make the tablescape look Pinterest perfect for Thanksgiving, but it is honestly exhausting and stressful to … [Read more...]
How to Make Cute Pinecone Owls
Don't you just LOVE easy crafts!? Not only are these pinecone owls completely adorable and fun -- They are also sooooo easy to make! Warm up your glue gun and by the time you've cut out the pieces, you'll be nearly done. You can make about 3 or 4 of these pinecone owls in about 10 minutes!

How to Make Beautiful Mason Jar Leaf Lanterns
These mason jar leaf lanterns are such a pretty way to celebrate fall. I found this craft very satisfying!

I kept turning my head to look out the window while I waited and was admiring the beautiful fall leaves outside that are just … [Read more...]

How to Bake Easy (and Addictive) Cinnamon Sugar Chips
When was the last time you bought fresh cinnamon for your spice cupboard? I'm from the camp that doesn't replace my spices until the jar is empty. Even if it's been years. A lot of years. My husband and I were at Costco a few weeks ago, and even though my (10 year old!?) cinnamon container isn't empty, we bought fresh cinnamon on a whim. Holy explosion of flavour in my mouth! I had no idea cinnamon could taste so good?! I was starting to think I didn't like cinnamon, but it turns out that I … [Read more...]
How to Make Folded Paper Sunflowers
These folded paper sunflowers are so easy to make! It's crazy what you can make with just a few folds of paper! They're the perfect craft for late summer or fall! These flowers are bright, beautiful and lots of fun to make! I was overwhelmed last year before I started writing my book, Low-Mess Crafts for Kids.

And at the point when I made these folded paper sunflowers I had made zero crafts for my … [Read more...]
