Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays because there is so much to do! From haunted hay rides, to apple bobbing, and trick-or-treating there is always some fun to be had. In my family one of our favorite things to do is make Halloween crafts and decorations. Most of the projects are very inexpensive and are perfect for the whole family to make. Everything from felt ghosts to crocheted skeletons can be made with ease on this ghoulish holiday!
A really cute and fun Halloween craft my family made last year was milk jug ghosts. You simply get a gallon jug of milk, empty it, and fill the jug with white Christmas lights. After you do that you simply want to draw on the face of the ghost on the jug. Something as simple as two eyes and a mouth make the cute ghost jugs complete. You can line them along a path or in windows for festive fun.
Another cute craft ideas is to take pots or planters, paint them orange, and turn them upside down. Once you do that you simply paint them with the face of a Jack-o-lantern! Place a twig through the hole in the pot for a "stem" and you have an adorable Jack-o-lantern that will never spoil or go bad! These are great for porches, outside steps and decor for the front yard.
A really simple craft that is super cute and great if you are throwing a Halloween party is to take a while pillow case and use it as chair cover. All you have to do is apply some felt in the shape of bats, ghosts, or Jack-o-lantern faces to the pillow case. You have very cute and very festive Halloween chair covers!
One of the best Halloween crafts I have made with the kids is craft stick mummies. You simply take popsicle sticks and fasten them together in the shape of a man. Once you do that you simply wrap the entire body, the arms and legs with gauze. Attach a couple eyes and have the cutest, most adorable little craft to make with the kids. These also make great party favors and Halloween decor for mantles and tables.
Some of my other favorite Halloween crafts would definitely be the edible ones! Spooky cupcakes, delicious caramel apples and other fun Halloween recipes are great for the whole family to enjoy. Letting your creativity shine will make for the best Halloween ever!
