They’re thrifty and easy homemade Halloween decorations that anyone can pull off. So, avoid the crowds at the stores by simply making your own last-minute decorations!

  • Broken wooden candle stick or other decorative wood items from the craft store or wood section of the home improvement store.
  • Easter grass
Directions:

1. Wipe the bottom of the tea cup and the center of the saucer with alcohol.
2. Glue the tea cup to the saucer with Krazy Glue®.
3. Glue one of the tea cups to a broken wooden candlestick or other wood pedestal.
4. Cut two foam balls in half and glue – flat side up – into the cups.
5. Use 2-3 fern pins to secure the Easter grass to the foam ball.
6. Use Krazy Glue® to glue in the decorative elements as desired.
7. Skeleton – spray desired color and while still wet sprinkle with glitter.
8. Tree – scrape decorative flocking from the tree with the side of a ruler. Spray paint black and then sprinkle with glitter while still wet.

No Carve Pumpkin Tutorial with Elmer’s

October 9, 2013 by FaveCraftsBlog

Halloween is a great time of the year to get your craft on. Whether you make your own costume, decorate your home, or carve your own pumpkin, there are so many ways that you can celebrate the holiday with your own handmade ideas. One of my favorite projects for Halloween involve no cutting or scooping at all. No need to get all that nasty pumpkin goo on your hands or in your house if you don’t want to. You can create a no carve pumpkin that will be a staple in your Halloween decor for years to come. We’ve teamed up with Elmer’s to bring you this awesomely easy Halloween craft, that takes very few supplies. Just because you aren’t spending that much on product, this rhinestone pumpkin will make your Halloween set up look like a million dollars.

No Carve Pumpkin for Halloween

Materials
– Elmer’s CraftBond Fast Drying Glue Pen
– Self Adhesive Rhinestones
– Artificial Pumpkin
– Ribbon
– Marker
– Ruler
– Tape

Instructions

Use a scrap piece of ribbon, marker, and ruler to mark off how you want your rhinestones spaced on your pumpkin. My pumpkin was 8″ tall and I spaced my rhinestones every 1/2″.

IMG_5440

Secure your ribbon to your pumpkin as a guide for your rhinestones. I used masking tape but any tape will work.

IMG_5444

Squeeze out small dots of glue according to your guide. This glue works great, so you only need a small amount. It also dries completely clear, which is awesome. Once you complete the first row, you can use that row as your guide for the rest or resecure the ribbon to the next area as your marker.

IMG_5446

Complete each section and go all the way around your pumpkin.

IMG_5470

This is a very simple craft and I’ve seen plenty of blinged out decor lately in the stores but you can make this fabulous Halloween craft for a fraction of the cost. The results will impress your friends.

Rustic Fabric Pumpkins

Two Handmade Fall Decorations For Your Home

Autumn is my favorite time of year to sew and decorate. The crisp weather, falling leaves, warm apple cider, scary stories, and carved pumpkins feel magical every year, no matter how old I get. Decorating both the outside and the inside of my house for the harvest season and Halloween has been a favorite ritual from my childhood that I have passed down to my children.

Hand-making decorations to give to friends and family (and adorn my own house!) is my favorite way to spend a cold autumn day. When my children were little, I worked into the night, sewing original crafts and decorations to prepare for craft shows and community fairs where I would sell my creations. The DIY, step-by-step photographed tutorials below will teach you how to make two of my most popular autumn crafts. I hope you enjoy making them and displaying them!

The simplicity of a black cat silhouetted against solid orange is a classic Halloween image! Here, you can use the same instructions to make this into a Halloween pillow or a Mini Decorative Halloween Quilt. Shown is the pillow, and the same craft as a Decorative Quilt or Table Topper.

Now you can make my number one selling craft item of all time! In the 20 years of selling my handmade holiday crafts, these quick and easy to sew pumpkins were the hottest item. Nobody just buys one! I made them in many different sizes. These rustic fabric pumpkins can be displayed the whole fall season and into Thanksgiving!

It looked so complicated and difficult that I assumed it was a technique for more experienced sewers. I was proven wrong, however, when my grandma ignored my misgivings and insisted I try it. It turns out that […]
