Easy Peasy

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 :)

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)
