Halloween Decorations
Friday, October 09, 2009
This year we have decided to make some new decorations for Halloween since everything has gotten so darned expensive and money is tight this year. Oh wait, the economy is all better, I forgot! Yeah, right and monkeys might fly outta my a*s......never mind. Anyway, we'll be making some new Halloween wreaths, some pumpkin dioramas using faux pumpkins, Halloween jewelry and some heavy duty things like coffin stands for our coffins and some outdoor props. But the main concern here, since I'm writing this is crafting. I leave most of the heavy outdoor stuff to the husband.
You can find a lot of good ideas at Halloween Online in the Craft section. They have added new craft ideas for this year to try out. I want to make a couple GoogleEye t-shirts just to wear around town. I have the things I need to make a Halloween charm bracelet and matching earrings. If you have any knowledge of jewelry making, these things are easy to do. Even if you don't have a clue, you can still do them with a few simple things picked up at Wal-mart or Michael's Arts & Crafts.
For the house I want to make a few dioramas using faux pumpkins and a bunch of miniature pieces of LeMax Halloween Village things that I bought on sale at Michael's. I'm the most anxious about these! I'll be creating tiny little scenes inside these fake pumpkins and I can leave them out all year long if I want to! Little Halloween universes all created by me!! You can find the info on making them here in the Halloween Online Halloween Craft section.
That part of the site, alone, should keep you busy and creative for weeks! I know that I'm happiest when I'm making something useful, beautiful and something that my family will treasure for years to come! Craft on!!
