Easy Creepy Cute Halloween Pictures

This is the final episode of the Craft Spooktacular! This one is easy peasey lemon squeezy, that's why I saved it for last. You can do this right before your party, just make sure you let the ink dry a bit or blot it before you put it in your frame.

Do a search on free Halloween clip art and a bunch of cool images pop up. If you want to get super fancy you can draw your own. Then you can get super fancy and use glitter or metallic paints.

Materials:
Thrifted book
Thrifted frame

Painted Bottle for Creepy Halloween Decor

Yay! Fall decoration is starting in ernest now. It's not just us freaks who start celebrating fall on Pumpkin Spice (September 1st). Painting glass jars that your food comes in is a great way to get some cheap materials and, if you paint on the outside of the jar, they are still 100% food safe. Happy decorating!

Materials

Glass jars- I used some vintage, some from a friend who was cleaning out her craft supplies and some were jam jars.
Glass paint- FolkArt Enamel paint is made in the US and can be either air cured or in the oven. Martha Stuart Chalkboard is made in the US
Sponge Brushes
Palette
Heavy paper for label template- draw a fancy box and use it as a paint guide, or make a simple box mask using tape
Pencil
Scissors or blade
Tape

Upcycled Fabric Pumpkins

The Halloween fun continues with this sweet little tutorial on fabric pumpkin making. So easy! My friend was moving and getting rid of old clothes so I totally lucked out with my orange fabric for this project. The rest of the fabric was either upcycled from the costume shop.


Matierials:
Fabric for pumpkin and stem
Ruler
Chalk or other marking tool
Rolly cutter or scissors
Fiber fill
Hot glue

These will make a great addition to your fall decoration. I wish it was fall in southern California. We are going through another dang heat wave. So all I can do is burn my pumpkin spice candle and pretend.

Sugar Skull Pillow

Now begins the Halloween Spooktacular Crafts! I'll be offering a tutorial a week during the month of October to get you feeling like a Halloweenie!

Start your Halloween decorating off right with this fun sugar skull pillow. I used pillows that have been laying around my house forever, and upcycled fabric from the costume shop I work at for the skulls. This project is great, because if you want to change the pillow out and put the skull on a different item it is pretty easy to switch.


Matierals:

Thick fabric for the skull

Paper to make skull pattern

Fabric paint

(we are using a method like the embroidery hoop art, check out that tutorial for more details)

Fabric markers - I used Marvy Graffiti markers, non toxic and made in Japan

Embroidery floss

Embroidery needle

Scissors
