Many Ideas for Project Inspiration
Inspiration is everywhere. At the same time, we understand how trying times can fray our thoughts and make creativity feel challenging. One of my favorite places to collect ideas is Pinterest. For years I have discovered the cutest and sweetest ideas on Pinterest. I am amazed by the artistry of crafters and artists around the world. And the good news is that I actively collect them to share with our community.
I click through these pins and hopefully they haven’t broken or changed landing pages. Most of them should lead you to artists, ideas, and/or tutorials to spark your creative projects. Many of these lean into the same techniques we teach in Forest Fairy Crafts. Using simple supplies and stitches, crafters all over the world make incredible magical crafts. Please be aware, the projects pinned on these boards are (mostly) not created from our books. These are pins that connect to the philosophies of helping everyone use their hands to create beautiful things. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do :)
We have to start with the official Forest Fairy Crafts board. This collection provides an easy way to navigate and discover past posts on the blog that may inspire your current projects.

Handwork for Children collects ideas that can be adapted for children to make things with their hands. From weaving to finger-knitting to simple embroidery, these projects are curated with children in mind.

In the Magic Forest is one of all time favorite boards. This board curates all of the little dolls and gnomes that we find charming into one place. As it’s grown over time, it has sections for different holidays and seasons. This board has so much talent and gorgeous detailing! They are made by artists all over the world. They can be tweaked for children-centered projects by simplifying some of the stitching. Or they may inspire adults to create crafts for their own enjoyment. Many of them link to independent sellers and Etsy shops where you could support creative artists.

Seasonal Arts and Crafts collects natural learning ideas for noticing and recognizing the changing world around us. From calendars to seasonal gnomes, these ideas encourage children to engage with the world in lovely ways.

Discover, Play, Learn shares ideas for making learning fun and engaging. As a former teacher and homeschool teacher, I value ideas that engage children with more than pencil/paper practice.

One of my favorite inspirations is the Nature Table. I’m going to write more about Nature Tables at some point. They don’t need to be a table. They can be a shelf or windowsill or anywhere that you collect little treasures and toys that reflect the natural world. We are inspired by the ways people show their beautiful collections
Nature Table inspiration brings the beauty of nature into a display in your home
Of course, you can browse all of my boards and follow the ones that connect with you and your family. I’m telling you now that I have diverse interests including photography, castles, and nature. Follow the boards that inspire you :)
I pin and repin every day because I genuinely appreciate the community on Pinterest. Thank you to all the friends that have followed me through the years. I appreciate you!
I hope these boards help you find your next fantastic project idea :)
Wishing you good health and wonderful inspiration 💙
