it's beginning to look a lot like Fall...

...but not outside, of course! This is Arizona, after all, and it's only September. It's still in the 90's, humid and hot, with no sign of cooler weather ahead.

Inside is a whole other story, though.

Last Friday, my son decided to skip his nap, so I decided a craft was in order. We started with this cute cow one, given to us by a friend. I love these pre-packaged crafts! Just grab and go.

That was only the beginning. Next, we decided to make stained glass Fall leaves using tissue paper and contact paper. And glitter, of course. I really love making stained glass art projects. The colors look amazing when the light shines through them.

I started taping the leaves up on the window, but they looked kind of funny. Did we need to put the leaves on a tree? Yes, we did!

I grabbed some brown packing paper I had saved from an Amazon order, and my son cut some branches for our tree. I taped on the leaves.

 

 

We found some vinyl clings in our Halloween decorations box, so my son added them to the window.

 

 My son had big plans. Trees in every window in the house! Starting with a tree with spiders in the living room. He cut out more branches, and I pieced them together into a tree-like shape.

The next order of business was to make spiders. We used felt, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners.

We hung them in the tree and added spider webs.

 

Spooky, huh? We're ready for Fall!
