It’s October and that means Halloween fun! To get ready for this, my favorite season, I made a decorative basket to fill with candy for the upcoming trick-or-treaters. While I await their arrival I will decorate my home with this fun Halloween home decor project. To make this you’ll want to first pick up a plastic bucket or basket at your local craft store. Next, using your Cricut and your Gypsy create a Halloween design of your choice from any of the many Halloween Cartridges such as Mini Monsters, Happy Hauntings or October 31st Seasonal. Cut your design out using purple, orange, green and black vinyl. Tack down to your bucket and rub with a bone folder to stick it in place. For a finish look wrap the handle with a gross-grain ribbon.

This is my Halloween centerpiece this year. Such a simple project that I saw in Martha Stewart’s Halloween Book. I used an empty pickle jar, applesauce jar and salsa jar for these. I washed each one and allowed them to air dry then I coated the inside of each one with orange craft paint and poured the excess back into the paint container. I allowed the inside of each jar to dry completely. The faces, a grumpy pirate, a jack-o-lantern and a dopey dracula, are made by hand cutting adhesive backed, sheet vinyl. Just peel the backing off after cutting the shape and stick it to the jar. The final step was to wrap black wire around the rim and twist it into a loop. Tie an orange ribbon around the wire loop so jars and hang as well as sit on a table.
These were so fun to make I think more may be in my future.
IÂ love sending cards and making them for friends. This is a Halloween card that I made using the Cuttlebug embossing folders and card stock.The plaid is Japanese Washi tape and the eyes on the owl are created by using my Imaginisce i-rock. I also have a stack of these cards for sale at MADE.
Let the Halloween fun begin. I have created so many Halloween projects these last few weeks I am super excited to share. To kick of the frenzy I created this skull mobile to hang from the ceiling.It is created by cutting skulls out of black card stock using the Cuttlebug and the Beware die. The wire is hot pink coated light gauge steel. I also added on a few cute little items with pink and or white paper using various punches. I loved doing this pink and black as a twist on traditional Halloween colors also you can keep it up long after the holiday.
This month of October is my favorite. I love fall and super deluxe love love love Halloween. So I will be posting a Halloween goody everyday of the month – yea!
I recently found this Halloween / October Planner in the Goose Berry Patch Magazine. I did a rough scan but you could make your own or buy the magazine – it’s on news stands now and filled with Halloween ideas. Happy Haughtings!
