Craft Ideas for the Month of November
Happy November, creative friends!
As November unfolds here in the USA, it’s obvious that fall is already well underway — and that winter will be here soon.
The first day of fall this year was September 23, 2024. I hope your autumn season got off to a spectacular start, and that you’ve had plenty of time for enjoying fun fall activities like leaf peeping, college football games and tailgate parties.
What types of craft projects are you interested in working on this November?
Whether you’re a beginner at crafts, you’ve been working at your favorite craft technique(s) for decades, or you’re somewhere in between those two extremes, in any case, this website is a fantastic place to find fall-friendly craft project ideas you might be interested in working on this month. You’re invited to browse through our pages on the topics of needlecrafts, paper crafts, and other crafts to find patterns, tutorials, and project ideas that interest you.
If you aren’t sure what, exactly, you want to work on making right now, please keep reading; below, I’ve rounded up a bunch of project ideas and suggestions for November craft ideas you can use this month.

Crochet Projects for Keeping Warm Despite November’s Chilly Weather
Want to make yourself a new scarf to wear this fall? Check out these crochet scarf patterns. Pictured here is a shell stitch scarf that’s perfect for wearing in fall and winter. If this one isn’t what you want to make right now, you might find an option that’s more to your liking amongst the others.
If you’ve noticed that the weather’s cooling off in your neighborhood, you might enjoy snuggling up with a warm, cozy crochet project. There are many possibilities including scarves, blankets, fingerless gloves and others.

You’ll miss out on seeing some of the world’s most inspiring scenery if you sit at home on your couch during the month of November. This is the time of year when the trees are showing off their most splendid color schemes. If you have a park or a hiking trail nearby, you can feast your eyes as you go for a stroll. You’ll want to grab a friend and your phone or camera and take photos of the all the beauty that you encounter along the way.
If you do that, then you’ll have the most important material you need for making autumn-themed scrapbooking layouts, mini books and art journal pages.

November Holiday Crafts and Celebrations
Christmas Crafting in November
Are you planning to make Christmas cards this November? If so, check out these ideas for making Christmas cards. You can make a cute Christmas card with a Santa design similar to the one pictured here, but if this one isn’t quite what you had in mind, you’ll find many other additional options posted as well.
Christmas will be here before you know it. If you celebrate this holiday, perhaps you have a mile-long list of Christmas card and gift recipients to make things for. If you hustle, you still have time to make a stack of Christmas cards, or to whip up some unique, one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts for your loved ones before the holiday rush really gets going.

Veterans Day Crafts
Veterans Day in the USA falls on Monday, November 11, 2024 this year. This is a day of remembrance; we pay homage to both our living veterans and those who have passed away.
Although I don’t have a list of craft project ideas specifically for Veteran’s Day, I do have one for Fourth of July – and you could use all the same project ideas to celebrate Veteran’s Day, too.
November Is Native American Heritage Month
This November, many people will be gathering to celebrate and learn about Native Americans’ traditions, languages and stories. In particular, the Smithsonian Museums have a calendar of events that you might be interested in attending. Some local public libraries and school libraries also offer Native American Heritage Month events or reading programs that make educational materials and resources available.
Beyond just learning about Native American history and heritage, there are many ways to show your solidarity with Native American people. One example that has direct relevance to you as a crafter: You can donate handcrafted items or other items to Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation this month (or any month!)
If you’re a knitter, crocheter, quilter or sewist, November is a particularly fantastic month to keep this organization in mind — because they urgently need warm blankets and clothing to give to people who are inadequately sheltered at Pine Ridge Reservation.
The weather in the fall and winter months on the reservation is unimaginably harsh. People there freeze to death each winter. So if you’re thinking of donating some of your handcrafted projects to people in need, these peoples’ plight is worth your consideration.
I donate to them when I am able, and they are exceptionally easy to work with, unlike some organizations that do not want handmade items. I can say from experience that they genuinely want, appreciate, and use the handmade items that are donated to them.
Thanksgiving Crafts
