Spooky Scary Haunted House Coloring PageHalloween is exactly one week away, and we couldn’t be more excited in the FaveCrafts.com office. Our office goes all out every single year. It shouldn’t be a big surprise that our crafty and creative editorial staff loves getting creative with Halloween costume ideas. Some of us even wear costume ideas we found while working! The perks of being a crafting editor are endless. In order to celebrate Halloween this year, we released a free adult coloring book for adults last month. Since you are (hopefully) all done with your costume or adding the final touches, we wanted to provide another free coloring page.

This Spooky Scary Haunted House Coloring Page is totally free to download and makes a great pre or post-trick or treating idea. Busy kids and adults who just downed too much sugar will need to be kept busy. Click the image on the right or the link below to download the free adult coloring page.

Free Printable Crafts for Kids

by Leave a Comment

While kids are darling, they can’t always color inside the lines, draw the perfect circle, or fold the paper correctly. And on top of that, you can’t always color the exact shade of brown they’re looking for, draw the perfect elephant that matches their imagination, or fold an origami star just right. To ease the crafting process, some bloggers grace you with templates and printables. These either provide the right color, the perfect outline, or the correct places to fold (or if you’re lucky, all three). Craft time goes a lot more smoothly when these generous bloggers make it easy on you. Printables start the kids off on the right foot and simply require them to connect the dots. And if it’s still not perfect, who cares? Perfect isn’t going to start any conversations, now is it?

Top 5 Christmas Crafts for June

by Leave a Comment

Welcome to our inaugural Top 5 Christmas crafts post! In case you didn’t know, AllFreeChristmasCrafts sends out a weekly newsletter, Crafty Christmas, which is filled with fun holiday ideas and projects. In June, we featured a wide range of topics including religious crafts and projects for girls. Did you miss out on these great projects? Never fear! Here are our most loved, most talked about and most desired projects from June.

Top Trends in June – ruffles, inexpensive crafts, simple crafts.

5. Lace Angels Tutorial

This project is so amazingly versatile. You can hang a lace angel as decoration, use it as gift wrapping or make it into an ornament. To make your own angel, you need a sewing needle and embroidery needle (no need to run out an purchase a sewing machine). Basically, this is a fun way to celebrate the season without spending all day indoors.

4. Dollar Store Glass Hurricanes

This is a project that always makes a splash. I think everyone loves it because it’s so insanely easy. All you need is a candlestick, some glue or tape, a glass vase and some decorative ornament/plastic balls. I think these look best on a dining room table or atop a mantle. One trip to the Dollar Store and you’re set for the holidays.

3. Printable Nativity Advent Chain

I like this project because it’s both entertaining for kids and educational. Cut out each of the figures and glue them to the chain. This is a family-friendly craft idea that’s perfect for the Christmas season.

2. Christmas Table Runner

Christmas decor doesn’t have to be red and green. If you like whimsical prints and offbeat designs, you’ll absolutely adore this pattern. I recently created a newsletter that featured a wide range of crafts for your Christmas table. I think this would serve as a great decorative piece during the holiday season. It’s also perfect for a party! Oh and this sewing craft is deceptively simple. Check it out for yourself and see what I mean.

And our most popular project from June is…

1. Simple Ruffled Wreath

Apparently, our readers are wild for ruffles! Wreaths are great because they can be hung up at any time. It doesn’t scream Christmas, which I think is a good thing. It’s truly understated and extremely fun to make. In this case, simple and easy doesn’t mean juvenile or ugly.
