October is here and I have an extravaganza of Halloween links for you! There are soooo many Halloween projects and ideas out there, so I have tried to gather all of my favorites here, in one place. I’ll add to this list as I find more fun stuff…
Halloween Crafts
- A quick and easy way to make snowflake-style paper jack-o-lanterns on mer mag.
- The Crafts Dept. has some (sort of weird) ideas for egg-shaped Halloween treat containers. They are just one of the many ideas included in Martha Stewart’s Halloween Party Workshop Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle movie download .
- Artbeads.com has a free tutorial for making Spooky Sparkly Spiders using felt beads.
- Speaking of spiders, HGTV.com has a really easy tutorial for making Spooky Spider Soap.
