Oriental Trading is THE place for your Halloween and Fall needs!
Not only do they have a HUGE selection of just about anything you can think of, but their prices are very, very reasonable. It always surprises me how much I can get for very little money. So I went on a little shopping spree for Fall and I wanted to tell you all about the craft and hobby supplies that I ordered!
Autumn Leaves
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these leaves. There are SO many things that can be done with them! They are really pretty laid out under other fall decor. They can be glued onto glass jars, with a tea light candle inside to make them glow with warm reds, oranges and yellows. I have also been working on a garland of sorts, using the leaves and raffia. They look super cute and it was really easy to do. I was really surprised how many leaves come in a package. There are 250 per package and the price is only $3.48!
One of the great things about the Autumn leaves is that they are of good quality! I have a feeling that I will be able to use these leaves year after year, fall after fall.
I have been having a blast with the leaves, and the possibilities are endless. I put a couple under some pumpkin scented candles to spruce it up a bit. I also glued some together, to make a round placemat of sorts, under the centerpiece on my table.
I decided to make some DIY Autumn Leaf Candle Jars, which I thought would be pretty around my house during the Fall season. I started by threading raffia through holes in the leaves. I wrapped them around a glass jar (I used two jars I saved from pasta sauce). Then I used a hot glue gun to adhere the leaves to the jars. They turned out really pretty!
I also ordered this pack of Mini Fall Tissue Paper Squares. I wasn’t quite sure what I would use them for, but they were just so cute that I couldn’t resist. They come 5,000 to a package and cost only $4.99. The possibilities are endless with these little tissue squares, but I thought it would be fun to decorate some little bags I also received.
Small White Gift Bags – could these be any cuter? They measure 5 3/4″ and come 12 to a pack for $4.99. Much like the leaves, there are so many things that can be done with these.
Even though the tissues were “Fall” colors, I found myself making little bags for different holidays. It would be really fun to make a bunch of holiday gift bags for gift giving this year, whether you use tissue, or color, paint and/or personalize them.
It really is incredible how must stuff I was able to get from Oriental Trading, for very little money. I have always been impressed with the steady, low prices. I have shopped at Oriental Trading for many, many years, especially when my kids were little. During summer break, we did crafts every day, and Oriental Trading was where I shopped. The kids really enjoyed all of the things we made.
Our good friends come over quite often, and since they usually have their daughters with them, I like to keep some craft projects on hand. Oriental Trading has a CRAZY amount of craft supplies. They enjoyed the Rhinestone Fall Leaf Craft Kit, and they made several leaves in one sitting. This set includes enough material to make 12 leaves. The whole set was only $5.99! I love how they include so many pieces for multiple projects. This comes in handy when you have several children over – they can all make something!
The project in progress – some help from our friends daughters! They had such a great time making these.
Voila – the finished product!
What is autumn without a little swag, huh? Well, pretty darned boring if you ask me! I love the Fall Harvest Swag pictured below. I have it sitting on an end table in our living room, next to some beaded pumpkins. It looks adorable, and very real.
I ordered a few other things too, that weren’t Fall related. I bought a glass growler, and my intention was to decorate it with polymer clay {another one of my hobbies}, for my husband’s birthday. I haven’t had a chance to do that yet, but I definitely will before the holidays.
Last but most certainly not least – the Fall Leaves Garland. This garland is 11′ long and only $4.29. It is really pretty and can be used in so many different ways – on the fireplace mantel, around the table display, hung on the wall, etc.
FINAL THOUGHTS
If you have never shopped at Oriental Trading, you really are missing out. I highly encourage you to visit them and have a look around. Just because their prices are low, doesn’t mean the quality suffers. Everything I have received from them has been perfect. I also love that their website is easy to navigate – everything is spelled out clearly to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Or of course, you can browse by categories, holiday or other occasion. Remember Oriental Trading is THE place for your Halloween and Fall needs!
