It's that time of the year again; my favorite time of the year actually. Halloween projects are starting to pop up all over the internet! So, in addition to the Daily DIY, I'll also be publishing a Weekly Halloween DIY Roundup. If I get enough content I might have more than one throughout the week so email me if you have a project you would like included. I'm really excited to start getting these together for those of us who like to get a jump on holidays! On to One Pretty Thing's first ever Halloween DIY Roundup!
*Stunning and so creative- black cat o'lanterns.
*Create a festive display using clip art and paper accented pumpkins.
*These candy-filled headstones would make great favors, or place holders at a table.
*Halloween in a pot. Decorate your porch with orange and black plants.
*A cute Halloween Sky pumpkin. A great alternative to the traditional scary jack o' lantern.
*These easy spooky pennants crafted by SwellDesigner would be fun on cupcakes!
*These pumpkin lanterns are darling and so easy to create!
*Planning a haunted house? Don't forget to stuff an old doll full of lights once you've popped the eyes out!
*Make these beautiful Costumed Candleholders using Dollar Store materials.
*Craft has fun Nutella and bread Morning Mummies that would make a cute addition to your Halloween buffet.
*DIY Halloween party streamers made with tracing paper.
*Create bewitching Halloween eggs for centerpieces, displays and Halloween trees.
*Fun Halloween skeleton tumblers made with markers and tracing paper.
*It's an all-in-one party with these plans for a Big Top Halloween. This would be PERFECT if you're taking a group of kids out Trick or Treating!
*I love the primitive look of these felt pumpkin people. You could make them out of any scraps on hand and embellish them as much as you'd like.
*Create creepy Halloween silverware with thrifted utensils and polymer clay.
*I love these spiders. I covered the outside of our house in web last year and slapped up a couple of similar creepies and it was a huge hit with Trick or Treaters.
*Print out these template from Martha and create a sweet Halloween candy display.
*The eye's have it with this Halloween wreath. You could do a lot of different projects with these clay eyes.
* * *
I hope you enjoyed our first Halloween Roundup! The next one will be out as soon as all the project slots are full. We're half way there already! Let me know what you think!
