Wooden crafts always give an aesthetic look to home decor. Make your own ‘Old’ farmhouse gate wall hanging that gives a beautiful look to your room. Below are the steps courtesy of littleredbrickhouse.com
Place the 6 feet boards at a 1.5-inch distance from each other. Place 2 boards across them with the angles board in between. Assemble it with wood glue and nails.
Next, draw an arch on the top of the gate with a pencil.
Using a jigsaw, carefully cut out the arch
Sand the edges round to get rid of any obvious splinters from the fresh cuts.
Apply the stain of your choice to give the gate a smooth appearance.
Wait for the stain to dry up and add a leaf or flower wreath on it and the ‘Old’ Farmhouse Gate is ready to be hanged!
If you are looking for crafts to make your house look shiny, glitterball yarn ornaments are your best choice. Following are the steps to make one courtesy of onelittleproject.com
Cut around 15 to 20 pieces (2.5ft long) of yarn per ball ornament. The more yarn you use, the better your ornament will look. Mix your glue, water, and glitter in the disposal bowl. You can blow a balloon up and slowly let the air escape still you reach the right size. Hang the balloon on a kitchen cupboard or light holder above the dining table.
Now going to the messy and fun part, add one strain of yarn into the bowl of glue and sink it fully into the bowl and stir using the plastic fork. Find the end of the yarn, then run it through the fork as shown in the picture. Forks work so well to remove the excess glue. Carefully wrap the strain of yarn around the balloon and when you reach the end of the yarn, sink the next set of yarn into the bowl.
When you finish wrapping a strand of yarn, make sure you tuck the end under another piece of yarn so that it doesn’t fall down when you let go of it. Keep adding more glue-covered yarn in different directions until you are happy. You can leave the yarn ball hanging overnight to dry. Then make a small cut in the balloon, very close to the knot. When the balloon is deflated, you can pull it out from the yarn ball.
Tie a piece of string around the yarn, and the ball ornament is complete. You can make the glitterball yarn in various colors by using different colors of cotton yarn and matching color glitter.

This is such a simple craft that you can make with the kids and the best part is that you probably have everything you need at home already. This craft is really simple, super-fast, and completely adorable when you’re done. Below are the steps courtesy of onelittleproject.com.
Materials required are Construction paper, Pink Marker, Black gel pen, or a Pencil, Scissors.
Start by tracing a handprint, but you have to make the handprint a little fatter than you normally would. Cut out the handprint. Make sure you have a V at the bottom between each finger.
Cut a small slit beside the baby finger. You want the bottom of the cut to line up with the bottom of the space beside the thumb. Once you cut the slit, the baby finger will look a bit crooked. So feel free to trim that baby finger a little to fix the shape.
Next, you can fold down the baby finger towards the center to make one of the bunny arms. Then fold down the thumb towards the center for the other bunny arm. I like to fold them so the two hands “touch” in the middle.
Cut off the middle finger so you’re left with two-finger “bunny ears”. Use a pink marker to draw the pink parts of the ears. Then draw an oval for the rabbit’s nose. Using a black gel pen, draw the rest of the face – eyes, whiskers, and mouth. Finally, draw two little paws at the bottom of the hand print to make the bunny’s feet. Your paper bunny is complete!

Cut out a small circle about 1-3/4″ to 2″ in diameter from the heart patterned paper. Fold the point of each heart to create dimension. Add a dollop of hot glue to the cutout circle. Attach the points of 5 hearts (overlapping) to the circle. Add more glue to the center of the flower and continue attaching heart petals until the desired look is achieved.
Create a piece of fringe, by cutting one of the long white paper strips 3/4 of the way, keeping a solid strip to hold it together. Tightly roll the paper strip.
