"Loving this idea for Halloween decorating for a rustic decor home. If you have seen things like this at fancy boutiques then you know they sell for a pretty penny! Why spend your hard earned money when you can use your creative edge and bend some wire?! The beauty of it is the fact that you do not have to be perfect. The finished craft is supposed to look a little imperfect. Fun! Make a letter sign that says BOO!"

"Ideas that can be incorporated to fit into any holiday theme (like this one !) are a great craft to partake in. Here is another idea for a Halloween themed pumpkin succulent that I came up with. Instead of the solid color pumpkin how about buying a Day of the Dead or sugar skull stencil? Start with the white pumpkin and paint in the stencil in black or several different brights- like pink, green, red, purple, and yellow?"

"These coasters are beautiful. I've been fascinated with the process of crafting with resin but haven't tried it yet. What a great way to preserve and save shells or other little things that are a souvenir from a special trip or a piece of memorabilia. We even have beaded necklaces that our Gram wore in the early 1960's. This would be a neat way to repurpose the beads."

"Anybody have an idea on how I could attach some sort of handle on these jars? I just think they are adorable to take out trick-or-treating with the kids, for mom or dad to carry so THEY can collect some candy, too! Another cool thing to do with these is to first do the glow stick craft all on the inside, then cover them like a mummy. Line your walkway or driveway for a fun Halloween glow in the dark effect."

In the Designer's Words: "These faux zinnias are a fun and easy project, and look great in a wood or galvanized container for some country decor. These were made from pine cones that my grand-kids gathered for me. I have seen some projects where the pine cones were dipped into paint, but I decided to use spray paint for this project, and my acrylics for the centers. These are so easy to make and I get lots of compliments on them."

I would never have thought to use pine cones to make zinnias, but they are perfect. I like that you painted them so many colors to make the design fun and playful. What a fun way to come up with a topiary or zinnia bouquet that you can give to friends as a gift or to brighten someone's day.

Yes, this is really easy! You can buy those pine cones and spray paints even from a bookstore. This craft can be placed anywhere in the house. Or if you make a bunch of it, You can give it as a gift. Or make it a decoration during holidays.
