12 November DIY Projects in Leonardo®
November is often considered the transition month between spooky season and the winter holidays. But that doesn’t mean it’s a boring month! Celebrate small businesses, Thanksgiving, and even recycling with these 12 November DIY Projects in Leonardo® Design Studio!
Recycling
#1: Recycle Bin Labels

Did you know that November 15 is America Recycles Day? This makes it the perfect time to create some new eco-friendly projects! Start off of the right foot by organizing your recyclables with custom made bin labels using EasyPSV® Starling™!
#2: Recycled Plastic Bottle Planters

One of the best ways to recycle is to reuse! Take those empty plastic bottles and turn them into decorative planters with the help of EasyPSV Starling and EasyPSV Holographic!

Don’t throw out that old shirt or pair of pants! With a little bit of PureHT™, you can repair and upcycle lightly damaged clothing to give them extra life (and flair)!
#4: Park Cleanup Volunteer Shirt

Want to expand your recycling efforts even further? Start your own park cleanup crew and make shirts for everyone with the help of PureHT!
Thanksgiving
#5: Elegant Autumn Napkins

Here in the US, you can’t think of November without thinking about Thanksgiving! Get ready to feast with some elegant autumn napkins decorated with the classy (and classic) EasyWeed®.
#6: Fall Themed Food Tags

Speaking of feasts, chances are there’s going to be a LOT of food at the table on Thanksgiving! Help make the food line move a bit faster with some fall-themed cardstock food tags!
#7: More Please! Dessert Plate

After dinner, will the guests have room for dessert? Of course they will! Make some dedicated dessert plates with EasyPSV Starling to cap off an excellent Thanksgiving dinner!
#8: Give Thanks and Wine Bag

Someone else hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year? That’s something to be thankful for! Show your host some appreciation with a bottle of wine wrapped in a lovely bag decorated with Aurora®.
Small Business Saturday
#9: Merchandise Mini Bags

November is perhaps the busiest month of the year for shopping, and it’s also the month of Small Business Saturday! If you’ve got small merchandise to sell, make some bags to go with them using HTV!
#10: Small Business “Thank You” Cards

Thank your customers for shopping small with handmade thank-you cards featuring EasyPSV Starling, EasyPSV Glitter, and EasyPSV Holographic!
#11: Small Business “Thank You” Tags

Speaking of thanking customers, how about some thank-you tags to go with the cards? Embellish your merchandise bags even further with a bit of cardstock and EasyWeed Electric!
#12: Daycare Staff Shirts

Let’s focus on one particular type of small business for a moment: daycares! Running a daycare is a lot of work, and it can be easy to forget about the little things— like shirts for your staff! Ease the stress a bit and make your own shirts with this EasyColor™ DTV® project!
