These beautiful home-made Fall Lanterns are easy to make and perfect for honoring the arrival of fall.
Now that it’s fall, the nights are growing longer and colder. We love to celebrate The Festival of Martinmas and make lanterns for the festival every year. Martinmas, or the festival of St. Martin, is celebrated around November 11 in many Waldorf schools with a nighttime lantern walk. It marks the end of the fall harvest and the arrival of cold, snowy weather. This is a sweet way to celebrate the seasonal change we are experiencing and maintain the symbolic warm light of our spirit. Check out the Moon Child Blog to learn more about it! Even if you don’t celebrate this particular festival, making these Fall Lanterns is a great way to honor the arrival of fall!
These decorative Fall Leaf Squashes are an easy craft for kids and adults and they make a really beautiful addition to your usual fall decor.
In October, I kept seeing all these beautifully decorated pumpkins all over social media, like these ones from Little Pine Learners. They used pressed flowers to decorate theirs and although I was originally influenced by flowers and pumpkins, I thought, hmm, what do we have gobs and gobs of right now? Oh, right! Fall leaves and butternut squashes! We have so many pretty leaves this time of year and my pantry is chock-full of butternut squashes right now too. I asked my husband to grab one from the store for dinner, but he came home with about six last week! Haha.
