Crafty Autumn

Crafty Fun! View this email in your browser Hello! With it being officially October, I feel as if Halloween is upon us. Now I know not EVERYONE "does" Halloween and that is fine.. we have plenty of Autumn Crafts for you on Red Ted Art and many of our "bat" and "spider" crafts are seasonal without being Halloween-y if that makes sense! We are also starting our Christmas craft preparations - simply because many teachers, scout troops or PTAs and fund raising committees like to plan now! Australian readers - Spring/Summer continues below! Selected for You This Week Something that I have woefully neglected over the years are Hanukkah celebrations and I have finally made up for it (I hope), by finding some super lovely Hanukkah crafts and activities for you - something for all the family, from decorations, to games and gifts. I would LOVE to hear from you about your traditions and favourite crafts. Please do drop me an email! Pip Squeak, made some darling little button felt stars as a birthday present for Granny. They will look lovely on the Christmas Tree and make for a wonderful "beginner's sewing project". Another great sewing project for beginners, are these cute Fabric Flowers - they are super easy to make and would be a nice brooch or hair piece. And our Fox Corner Bookmarks.. are joined by an ADORABLE Badger!! Also, if you like finger knitting, I have created a "how to connect Finger Knitting" video, for those of you who want to turn those long sausages into blankets, purses or broader scarves... And this Shrunken Apple idea is just brilliant. Make them and play apple bobbing with them!
