As the days grow colder and darker, and the leaves turn golden, it’s the perfect time to slow down and get creative. Autumn offers endless inspiration - from its rich, earthy colour palette and crisp countryside walks to cosy evenings spent in front of the fire.
But this season often slips by unnoticed, tucked between the end of summer and the early rush of Christmas festivities. That’s why it’s more important than ever to pause and make space for the calm, creativity, and comfort that autumn brings.
We’ve put together a collection of our favourite seasonal printing projects to help you do just that - and we hope they inspire you to create your own autumnal magic at home.
Our Autumn Tote Bag was our first subscription box project back in Autumn 2022, it proved so popular and was in such high demand we turned it into a printing kit. The maxi bag uses a masking tape technique to create a 'window' that you print within and uses two exclusive colours which are only available in the kit called Umber Brown & Pine Green.
Autumnal wreaths are a favourite of ours! They have this warm, cosy vibe and the colours just blend perfectly to create this wonderful harmony. We've printed our Autumn wreath on a cushion cover, it could also look great on a tote bag, napkin, or tea towel
1. Draw around a circular template with pencil which will be covered by the block prints (you could also use tailor's chalk) to create your wreath shape.
2. Using various leaf designs, each in a different colour print onto your fabric following your circular pencil mark
3. You can then add smaller designs to fill in the gaps such as Acorns and Pinecones to bring the design together.
Join us in celebrating the snug, comforting vibes of Autumn! We've printed our own harvest tea towel using all our favourite autumnal patterns and shades. If you're in the mood to print your own Fall-themed tea towel, we recommend these colour options: Indian Yellow, Indian Orange, Olive Green, Terracotta, Brown, Olive Brown and Aubergine.
Our September 2023 subscription box project - an Autumnal floral tote bag. Crafted with three colours that echo the fall weather. This repetitive design creates a stunning overall design that's easy to accomplish. You can also watch our YouTube video showing you step-by-step how to complete the project by clicking the button.
