Getting Creative with Winter Crafts
Posted on 20 Jan 2021
Winter in Denver means access to a plethora of enjoyable outdoor activities — but if you feel like staying indoors and snuggling up by the fire, a cozy craft can be just what the doctor ordered. When you’d rather save the adventure for another day, let these family-friendly art projects inspire your next DIY creation.
Turn Trash to Treasure
Take your recycling habits one step further by upcycling used plastics into trendy-yet-useful household items: Start an herb garden from milk cartons or build botanical bird feeders from empty soda bottles. These eco-conscious crafts will reduce waste while creating fun memories for the whole family! Scenic and spacious patios at Reunion are the perfect place to bring these garden and greenery visions to life.
No-Sew Blanket
This fun and simple project had its heyday in the 2000s, but is making a recent comeback — and we’re here for it. No needles or thread are necessary for these fleece tie blankets, and the best part? You can let your own passions and creativity fly free! All you need is two pieces of fleece fabric of your choice (about a square yard and a half each), a pair of scissors, and a ruler — in just 30 minutes, you’ll have a soft blanket to snuggle up with on cold Colorado days.
Crafting with Crayons
Create colorful masterpieces from that old box of crayons in the back of the craft room. With many melting methods, choose the option that makes sense for your home — then let the colors of the rainbow form anything your imagination manifests. From art pieces to candles, your new creations will sit pretty in your customized flex space.
DIY Soaps & Suds
Soap-making made the list of 2020’s top-trending crafts, and we don’t see this slowing down any time soon. Ready to jump on the bandwagon? Tune in to these tutorials for the science behind the soaps — and maybe even create a scent of your own. Stock every bathroom with your custom creations to fill your home with fresh and cleansing fragrances.
No matter which crafts are calling your name, coming together to create as a family is a bonding experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. In a Reunion home, you’ll have space to spread out, rooms to dedicate to supplies, and a warm tight-knit community to share the love. Ready to find your forever home?
