Fall Craft Ideas Using Recycled Materials

With the kids back in school, now is a good time to get back into some decorative craft projects. The first place to start is with your Fall decor. However, instead of spending a lot of money in seasonal decorating, I am going to show you how you can incorporate recycled materials into your projects for a much more budget and eco friendly option.

All of the Fall craft ideas, that I have found, use at least one item that has been recycled. Last year, I made the pictured sweater pumpkin out of one of my husband’s old and worn sweaters which gave a warm neutral look to a common Fall item. Plus, I didn’t have to throw out a sweater that was stretched out and too worn for charity.

Here is the list of other Fall craft ideas that you can try:

Fall bottle vases by Crissy's Crafts.

Re-use those wine bottles for beautiful vases for your Fall table. Decorative paper and rope add a little extra embellishment to the vase filled with silk flowers.

Re-purposing brown bottles for Fall decor by Parents.com.

These glass jars make a nice arrangement with the white letters mod podged on. The brown coloring is perfect for Fall.

Tin can and mason jar candle holders by Frugal Interior Design.

Tin cans and mason jars can be transformed into stunning candle holders with just a little embellishing! Gluing reeds or jute string to a can makes a perfect base for a pillar candle and a few colorful leaves inside a glass jar is all that is needed for some great Fall color.
