There’s something about the cooler weather that makes me feel crafty. I’ve already created my own little porch pumpkin display, and I’m currently in the middle of painting my front door (okay, I’m sitting here writing this story while my husband paints the door). But I’m also in the mood for some smaller activities I can do while staying cozy inside (and perhaps watching a Hallmark holiday movie). And since Five Below has a ton of craft finds all below $6, I can try a bunch of different ones. Here are the most popular picks at the store right now.

I’m a bit vain when it comes to my home’s curb appeal (yes, I like to be the best-looking house on the block, and I’m not ashamed to admit it!). That’s why I’m scooping up this Halloween Carve & Create Pumpkin Kit Set from Five Below to take my pumpkins from standard to spectacularly spooky.

I once enrolled in a knitting class, and it didn’t go so well. That’s why I think this beginner-level Itty Bitty Knit Kit Fall Set is a better option, so I can go at my own pace. Choose from three fun designs—a mustachioed mushroom, a kitty cat, or a lil’ acorn.

Crystal Creations Kit: $5

Adult coloring books and paint-by-numbers have been around for a while, but this Crystal Creations Kit is something totally new. Using a small applicator, you pick up each individual crystal and bedazzle either a sea turtle or jellyfish scene, following the pattern. I can definitely see this being a relaxing afternoon activity.

Around the corner from my house is the cutest needlepoint shop that I’ve been wanting to check out. But before I get there, I figure I can learn the basics with this Busy Stitchin’ Embroidery Set. After all, if an eight-year-old can do it, I’m sure I can! Choose from three patterns: A cowgirl boot, daisies, or a citrus snail.
