What does "peasy" mean anyway? :P
I found a couple of projects that I would love to make. They look pretty simple and could definitely be last minute Halloween crafts
How cool are these?!?! Im 19 years old and I would loooove to get one of these as a party favor or in my trick or treat candy bag. Im sure little kids would adore them as well as older adults. I have never seen poppers that were for any other occasion besides Christmas so I was very excited by these XD Found HEEERE
Empty cans, a nail, and a hammer? For once, I wouldnt need to buy *any* of the materials making this an easy and pretty much free Halloween craft (from this site). I dont have spray paint but I do have acrylic. Whether or not you used paint, I think it would look nice. Even if you didnt put a candle inside or use the wire, it would still be cute yet spooky decor.
If I make these, Ill definitely post some pics. And if anyone reading this blog makes any of these crafts, go ahead and let me know!!

Coffins Galore

Oh, how I wish I had this in my home. This lovely coffin couch is from Coffin Couches and if you check it out youll probably notice the price. Being unemployed means I can only dream :P If only I could figure out how to make my own... hmmm
This site says that they use coffins that have been thrown away by funeral parlors. All I have to do is wait outside a funeral parlor and eventually Ill get my own coffin? Its tempting xD

These coffin candy boxes from All You look like they would be a lot of fun to make (I also recommend checking out the other 27 Halloween craft ideas they have. There are some wonderful ideas). My only problem would be not knowing where to get coffin-shaped boxes. Thats when i found this page from Martha Stewart that links to paper coffin box templates. 
Now this is something Ive wanted for YEARS!! And thanks to another tutorial from Martha Stewart it doesnt seem too far out of reach. Id keep it out all year though :)
Crop Circles
Ugh. Ive been BAD. I started this blog and I forgot about it >_< Im not used to keeping one of these, but Ill get better at updating it. I promise :3
As a huuuuge alien lover, Ive considered getting a crop circle tattoo. Here are some I think would look pretty awesome.


I think Im leaning towards the first or second one.
What do you guys think?

My Uncle's Haunted House
The skulls of helpless victims XD
Every headstone has a witty saying or names the person who supposedly died there (Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, "Here Lies an Atheist, All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go" lol). In that left window is a drum playing skeleton. My uncle is a drummer so he'll sneak into the room on Halloween, get behind the skeleton and black fabric hanging down so you cant see him, and play... but its so surreal. You dont see him at all, all you see is this skeleton rocking out, bowing to his audience, its great.
Everything in his yard are props he made himself. The crypt is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I wish I had thought of taking a video of it. The spirit is actually moving so it looks creepily real.
The coffin also moves. The lid opens and closes as this handsome fellow greets you.
The yard is a cemetery, and in front of a cemetery of course you need a spooky, gothic looking gate.
The trees look a little Lord of the Rings-esque and I ADORE them. I also like the little touch of that monster creeping over the side of the fence.
I want this sign in my yard lol

Wittle Pumpkins
Yesterday I was in a super creative mood. I rummaged through my crafts drawer (its basically just an empty draw I toss everything I dont want to throw away in XD Apparently Im now calling that a crafts drawer) and found some Super Sculpt(e?)y. Okay, when youre in a creative mood and you find clay stuffs, how can you NOT play with it?? lol
So I proceeded to roll little balls, used a toothpick to draw a few lines down the side and some faces on a few, baked them at 275 degrees for anywhere between 15-25 minutes, depending on the size, then painted them, globbed on some glaze, and added a little stem (out of a toothpick)!
Its super easy if anyone cares to make some :) And they do make cute Halloween decorations.
The ghost and bunny were a little harder but still a lot of fun. I may make some more today lol.
(By the way, the date on the picture is sooo wrong XD)
