My favorite kind of art invites folks to take part in it. These interactions allow people to let lose and get creative in a group setting. This tap light DIY is a great idea for a party activity or a small gathering.
You’ll need a fairly dark space, masking tape, sticky tabs, and a bunch of tap lights.
Using the tape, delineate where you’ll stick the lights on the wall. Put the sticky tabs on the back of the lights and adhere them. The tape will also help with a speedy removal at the end of the night. Simply pull the tape off the wall and the tap lights will come off with it.
Continue hanging the tap lights until you’ve used them all. You can create a large uniform group like I did below, or you can make more of an abstract pattern across the space.
Now you’re ready to create designs in light! Have fun!

DIY: Pumpkin Bowls
Are you looking for fall decorating ideas? Pumpkin bowls are quick and simple. They’re great for serving snacks on Thanksgiving Day before the big meal. They also make inexpensive but elegant centerpieces. Native Americans once used dried pumpkin shells to store grain, beans, and seeds. It’s always cool to pull something historical into your celebrations.
Take a look at my crafting outfit: Carhartt Women’s Rowlesburg Sweatshirt, Clarkston Cami, Slim-Fit Jeans, & Wellington Boots. The Rowlesburg Sweatshirt is one of my favorites. It’s cozy with a thermal lining you can wear around the house or for indoor work. The material is made with Rain Defender™ technology that’s both durable and water repellant, so it transitions to your outdoor jobs as well.
(Save the pumpkin seeds for a trail mix I’ll be posting the recipe for tomorrow!)
DIY: Paper Lantern
Here’s a fun and easy craft– decorated paper lanterns. If you love to draw, whip out your pen and get to doodling! But don’t worry, if you aren’t as artistically gifted, you can trace a design. That’s the wonder of vellum paper, it’s transparent! Then roll it up, stick it over a candle, and you have a personalized light. How cool is that?! It’s perfect for party decorations or creative crafting. Give it a try and see what you can come up with.
