10 Halloween Crafts For Kids They Will Love Making
Halloween is never boring, there are so many fun activities to do for kids and adults alike, including making Halloween crafts! If you’re looking to keep your little ones busy this Halloween season, have them make some of this fun and creative Halloween crafts for kids.

Halloween Crafts For Kids That Are Fun Making

My love for Halloween stems from all the fun we had during this festive time when we were kids. There was always lots of crafts and activities to do during Halloween – there was never a dull moment!

Having your kids participate in decorating for Halloween and making Halloween crafts will leave them with many fond memories of Halloween. It will also keep them busy

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite Halloween crafts for kids that they will actually enjoy making. And who knows, maybe you will enjoy making it with them!

1. Stick spiderwebs

These stick spiderwebs are easy and really inexpensive to make, and its also lots of fun wrap the white yarn around the sticks.

The kids can experiment with different patterns and colors and you can use it for Halloween decor so it’s a win-win!

Found from happyhourprojects.com

2. Tin can ghost windsock

Another craft that the kids will enjoy making and that you can proudly hang inside or outside for Halloween.

There is a bit of wait time involved with this one as you have to wait for the paint to dry before you finish the final project. But while waiting you can start cutting the ribbon for the bottom so long.

3. Yarn wrapped mummy

How cute is this mummy?

Have your kids draw and cut out a basic gingerbread man-like shape from cardboard. This can either be black cardboard or any color which they can then paint black.

Then just glue the eyes to the mummy and start wrapping the mummy with yarn. Glue or tape the end of the yarn to the back of the mummy for easier wrapping.

Found from iheartcraftythings.com

4. Clothespin bats

For these clothespin bats, paint the clothespins black using acrylic paint and let them dry.

While waiting for them to dry, draw out the shape of a bat wing on cardboard and cut it out. Use it to trace, draw and cut out multiple bat wings from the cardboard.

Fold over a small tab on the inner edge of each batwing (like shown in the picture) and glue them to the sides of the clothespin.

Found from parents.com

5. Halloween monsters

Amy shows how you can make various Halloween monsters from empty pill bottles. If you don’t have this, I think this would also work perfectly with toilet paper rolls.

There are some monsters not included in the image below, so check out her blog if you want to see the other ones.

Found from thisheartofmineblog.com

6. Halloween spider slime

Is Halloween really complete without Halloween slime? I think not!

This slime is very easy to make with only a couple of ingredients. Let the kids help you by mixing the ingredients and kneading the sticky mixture until it is proper slime.

This recipe makes a big bucket so there should be enough slime to play with for 3-4 kids.

Found from thetiptoefairy.com

7. Halloween ghost bombs

If you don’t mind a bit of a mess outside, these ghost bombs are the bomb (ha)!

They are a bit delicate to make as you have to work with the eggshells, but they’re definitely worth making and a ton of fun to throw around outside!

Found from growingajeweledrose.com

8. Pumpkin popsicle stick door hangers

What a cute idea to decorate door knobs for Halloween! Have them make these cute door hangers and hang it on their doors during Halloween.

You’ll need popsicle sticks (if you don’t have any you could buy them at any craft store), glue, paint and pipe cleaners (ribbons could work too).

Found from thesuburbanmom.com

9. Cardboard box spiders

These cardboard-box spiders are really cheap and easy to make with items you probably already have in your house!

You can use any type of small cardboard box (e.g. a box that medicine or cream or some type of product came in) and paint it black for the body. Then just draw a mouth on paper, cut it out and glue it to the body together with eyes. Use pipe cleaners for the legs.

Found from mollymoocrafts.com

10. Toilet roll bats

These toilet roll bats are really simple and quick to make (aside from waiting for paint to dry) and will only take you about 5 minutes to do.

If you don’t have empty toilet rolls at your disposal, you could also use a paper towel roll or wrapping paper tube and cut it down to smaller sizes.

20 Easy Halloween Cupcake Decorating Ideas For The Perfect Spooky Treat
Okay, maybe it’s a bit early to start thinking about Halloween cupcake decorating ideas (or Halloween in general, ha!). But I couldn’t help myself. It’s one of my favorite holidays. I just love all the Halloween decor, crafts and also Halloween treats!

Last year I did a roundup post of some of my favorite Halloween treats and Halloween decorations so check it out too! This year though, I’m definitely planning on making some cute and scary Halloween cupcakes!

The Best Halloween Cupcake Decorating Ideas

Every year I like to make some yummy snacks and treats for Halloween. This year I’m planning on making spooky cupcakes.

I love cupcakes because they’re so versatile and you can decorate them to match any theme. So Halloween cupcakes it is!

I haven’t decided quite yet how I’ll decorate my cupcakes, but I’ve found plenty of inspiration online. If you’re also thinking about making Halloween cupcakes, check out these wonderful Halloween cupcake decorating ideas from around the web.

1. Halloween Ghost Cupcakes

Okay, let’s start with a super simple and easy one – ghost cupcakes!

This is super simple to do, you just add your normal white frosting and use something dark like chocolate chips (the author used chocolate covered pomegranates) for the eyes and mouth!

Found from everydaysouthwest.com

2. Monster Cupcakes

Another really easy one to do. All you need is frosting of different colors and some candy eyes and you’re set!

Would be a hit at any kids party!

Found from lifewiththecrustcutoff.com

3. Spider Cupcakes

There are a lot of ideas for spider cupcakes but I found this to be one of the easiest to do.

You just need candy eyes and Oreos. Then you can draw the legs yourself with melted chocolate or frosting.

Found from texanerin.com

4. Dirt Worm Cupcakes

The early bird gets the worm with these creepy crawly dirt worm cupcakes! Super easy to do with Orea crumbs and gummy worms.

The author used plastic spider rings for added effect but I’d leave them off or look for edible spiders if you’re afraid of the choking hazard.

Found from lmld.org

5. Brains Cupcakes

These brains cupcakes would be great for any sort of zombie party for Halloween. Or for anyone who likes their cake just as much as the “Ewww” factor.

If you don’t like the bloody organ look, these brains are probably not your cup of cake.

Found from thesimple-sweetlife.com

6. Witches’ Brew Cupcakes

I’m not sure exactly what makes up a witch’s brew, but there are all sorts of bubbly witchy brewy things going on in this cupcake!

Worth a taste I think!

Found from houseofyumm.com

7. Brownie Cupcakes

Okay these cupcakes aren’t really scary or anything, but they’re still perfect for Halloween with the orange and chocolate!

Found from twosisterscrafting.com

8. Marshmallow Spider Web Cupcake

These spider web cupcakes are so creative and unique!

It can be a bit on the sticky side as you’ll have to melt the marshmallow and use your fingers to stretch and wrap the gooey mixture around the cupcakes. But the end result is so worth it and will be a big hit with everyone!

Found from handmadecharlotte.com

9. Frankenstein Cupcakes

These are probably more cute than scary, but I love it!

Easy to decorate with sprinkles, Tootsie Rolls, white melts and M&M’s for the eyes. Use brown M&M’s for the pupils for a cute look, or red ones for a more scary look!

Found from yourcupofcake.com

10. Tombstone Cupcakes

These tombstone cupcakes use Milano cookies dipped in chocolate for the tombstone and crushed Orea cookies for the dirt piles around the tombstones.

You can use melted white chocolate to pipe the word “RIP” onto each cookie.

Found from yourcupofcake.com

11. Broken Glass Cupcakes

I would call these Dexter cupcakes, but I guess they bear the markings of all sorts of horror movies.

Anyway, these are red velvet cupcakes (yum!) with glass candy and edible blood made from condensed milk!

Found from easybaked.net

12. Monster Claw Cupcakes

There are two versions of this cupcake, the silly version (pictured below) and a scary version (click the link below if you want to see).

It’s also really easy to make these – you roll your claws with marshmallow fondant (you can use marzipan too). And to get the fuzzy ‘fur’ the author simply used a grass tip for the frosting.

Found from bakingdom.com

13. Candy Corn Cupcakes

Moving away from the scary cupcakes to something a bit more on the cute side, these candy corn cupcakes are adorable!

You’ll need 3 different shades of frosting – the author used white, yellow and orange buttercream.

Found from midgetmomma.com

14. Witch’s Hat Cupcakes

These witch hat cupcakes are really festive and fun and will be a hit at any Halloween event.

All you need is some green frosting for the base, chocolate wafer cookies and sugar cones, melted chocolate and tinted frosting for decorating the ‘hat’.

Found from thecraftingfoodie.com

15. Cauldron Cupcakes

Okay, it might look deceiving, but the cauldrons, in this case, is actually just silicone cauldrons that you serve the cupcakes in. I initially thought it was perhaps made or marzipan or something, but that would be too much effort for me anyway!

It’s still a really cool idea for a Halloween party though!

Found from apumpkinandaprincess.com

16. Black Cat Cupcakes

These black cat cupcakes are all chocolaty goodness and still perfectly fit for Halloween.

The ears and whiskers are cut out from chocolate taffy (could also use a Tootsie Roll) and the eyes are made with fondant but you could also just use yellow M&M’s.

Found from onelittleproject.com

17. Mummy Cupcake

These mummy cupcakes are a spooky but fun treat that kids and adults alike will love!

For the frosting, you’ll need a flat tip to create the mummy look by weaving back and forth and just leaving a small space for the eyes. The author shows you very well how to do this.

Found from frugalmomeh.com

18. Skeleton Cupcakes

When first looking at this cupcake you might think that it’s difficult to make or too much work, but it’s really not!

The ribs and arms are simply yogurt mini pretzels and the head is a marshmallow stuck on a lollipop stick. Because it looks more difficult to make than it really is – these are sure to impress family and friends!

Found from womansday.com

19. Spider Web Cupcakes

If you’re looking for something Halloweeny but don’t want to go cute or scary necessary, these spider web cupcakes fit the theme very well!

Found from countryliving.com

20. Halloween Bat Cupcakes

No collection of Halloween cupcakes would be complete without some sort of bat cupcake!

I found these ones to be really cute and easy to make with mini Oreos for the body and round wafer cookies broken in half for the wings!

The eyes are just white chocolate chips with chocolate pips stuck to the back (flat) side of the chocolate chips.

Found from thecraftingfoodie.com

10 Easy DIY 4th Of July Decorations And Crafts You Need To Try This Year

With Independence Day coming up, many people are already starting to think about 4th of July decorations and crafts to make.

Whether you’re hosting a party or barbecue, or just want to add a festive touch to your home, these easy DIY 4th of July decorations are perfect to celebrate Independence Day.

Patriotic 4th Of July Decorations And Crafts

There are many crafts you can make to decorate your home for the 4th of July that won’t require you to spend a lot of money.

From paper garlands to candles to patriotic wreaths, I hope this list will inspire you and give you some ideas of how you can decorate your home to celebrate America.

To see the full tutorial for any of these crafts (if available), please click on the link below each image.

This post contains affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission – at no extra cost to you – if you purchase something through one of my links. Please see my full affiliate disclaimer here.

1. Paper Star Garland

This paper star garland is available from Etsy but is easy and simple enough to make yourself.

You just need some paper stars and some string, then you can sew the string through the stars. You could also glue two stars together around the string to get the same result.

Found from Etsy

2. Patriotic Clothespin Wreath

If you’re looking to make a wreath for your door for Independence Day, this one is really easy to do and only requires a few supplies.

Found from Home Crafts By Ali

3. Patriotic Paper Chain

Another inexpensive paper craft you can make that will add a patriotic touch to your home. It looks adorable hanging from a mantle, dessert table or even as a party backdrop.

It’s also the perfect craft to make with children as a fun activity that everyone can enjoy.

Found from Love The Day

4. Painted Lawn Stars

Okay, this is not really decor per say, but I think this is such a creative idea if you’re hosting a 4th of July party or barbecue and have a big lawn. It will really add to the fun and excitement of an Independence Day celebration.

The paint the author used is construction marking paint intended for grass which you can find at any home improvement store. The paint will NOT kill the grass but it is permanent. This means you will only get it off by letting the grass grow out and then mowing it off (worth it in my opinion).

Found from The Concrete Cottage

5. Star Candles

If you’ve got some plain white candles you can turn them into these star candles for minimalist Independence Day decorations.

Just get some blue and red star stickers and white candles and you’re good to go!

Found from Good Housekeeping

6. American Flag Pillow

To create this flag pillow, the author used an old sweater with an embroidered American flag and turned it into this cute pillow cover.

You can also recreate this look with a blank white pillow by sewing or by gluing a small American flag onto the pillow.

Found from Thrifty Decor Chick

7. American Flag Mason Jars

Adding some 4th of July spirit to your home can be as easy as jazzing up a couple of mason jars!

You can paint your mason jars or just add the American flag to them and then use them however you like. I would put flowers in them!

Found from Our Unexpected Journey

8. Pallet Flag

With some paint and a wooden pallet, you can easily recreate this wooden pallet flag for your front porch.

Of course, you don’t necessarily have to use a large pallet to do this. You can also do something similar with a smaller pallet and hang it on your door or wall for some 4th of July decorations.

Found from Saving By Design

9. Easy Patriotic Centerpiece

You can make this celebratory 4th of July centerpiece in a couple of minutes once you have all the items. You just need a mason jar, some rice, a couple of star picks and small flags to create this centerpiece.

Found from Tidy Mom

10. Patriotic Shutter

You can decorate your home, yard or front porch with this easy to make patriotic shutter.

You’ll need an old shutter, some tape and spray paint of the correct color. If you want to soften up the edges you can also drape some burlap and ropes over it like the author did in this case.

15 Cute And Expensive Looking DIY Gifts You Have To Make

Since Mother’s day is coming up, I’ve been thinking about what gift I could give to my mom (even though she says she doesn’t need anything).

I always feel like I’m really bad with gifts since I struggle to pick something. But after thinking about it, I’ve decided to make something this year instead. So naturally, I ended up searching online for easy DIY gifts I could make.

DIY Gifts That Everyone Will Love

Now, these gifts aren’t specifically for Mother’s day though, you could make them for someone’s birthday, as a housewarming gift, or any other occasion. You get the idea.

If you have any old sweaters lying around that you aren’t using anymore, why not repurpose them and make these cute mittens?

Would make a great housewarming gift I think.

Adding the rope, some fabric and a bit of color make it look so much more expensive!

Found from Lydi Out Loud

Instead of buying these coasters at an expensive price, you can make your own gilded edge agate coasters at about $8 each.

All you need is some round, flat agates and gilded paint.

Found from Making Lemonade Blog

These hand warmers are pocket size, so you can keep them in your pockets to warm your hands. You could easily make larger ones too.

These would make great gifts for children or anyone who gets cold easily!

Found from Rae Ann Kelly

12. Wooden Slab Keyholder

If you know someone who’s always looking for their keys, this could be a useful gift.

Found from The Crafted Life

13. Galaxy Marble Coasters

These galaxy marble coasters have such a cool design each one you make will be unique.

You don’t have to stick to these colors though, you can experiment and make your own colored coasters.

Found from A Kailo Chic Life

Turn a plain inexpensive throw pillow into one that makes a statement!
