DIY and Crafts — halloween

It’s nearing spooky season, which means it’s time for some on-theme bendy candle DIY’s! I wanted to share two of my recent favorite spooky candlesticks: ghosts and snakes. If this is your first time bending taper candles, maybe stick with the simpler ghost candlesticks. But if you’re ready for something more advanced, these colorful, swirly-whirly snakes will give you a little extra challenge. See a video of how I made them right here!

My disco bats really up the game on the classic “bats on the wall” look for Halloween. You can grab your own from my shop. You can select multiple sizes for an even more dynamic look, but for this project I used the two-inch bats. I busted out my favorite alcohol inks to take these disco bats into another dimension. I dabbed on orange, gold, purple, and pink for a colorful yet decidedly holiday-specific look. See the full DIY video! They look so magical, flying across my mirror and up toward the ceiling!

If you’re on the lookout for a no-carve pumpkin craft AND you don’t want to have to go out and buy a ton of supplies, this is the DIY for you! I whipped up these ink-transfer marbled pumpkins with a few inexpensive household items. They turned out so pretty. Try this idea for a craft night or as an alternative to a pumpking-carving competition. Okay, so are you ready to find out what I used to create these beautiful abstract marbled swirls? Markers. That’s right! I took a white trash bag and scribbled with markers in my favorite bright pastels,...

I’m back with another no-carve pumpkin idea for you! These DIY fringe pumpkins can be crafted in no time. They’re customizable to your chosen decor colors. (Shimmery rose gold? Of course! Pastels? Heck yeah! Rainbow? Yes, please!) Plus, the light pink is also a bit of an Easter egg for all of my fellow Swifties (IYKYK). So let’s get started on some sparkly fringe pumpkins! Here’s a link to the full DIY video. You can grab a pack of the fringe from my shop – one package can cover two small pumpkins or one large pumpkin. Choose your colors!

Today I’m here to bring the sparkle to your Halloween decor! I’ve got three ideas for you to create the disco Halloween candle holder of your dreams. You can transform simple silver candlesticks into your own custom Halloween design. Choose your favorite look and get started on this super simple DIY! Just unscrew the top of the candlestick and thread your disco shapes through the rod. Replace the top and you’re done! Feel free to add alcohol inks if you want to color your disco shapes. Or draw a ghost face on your disco balls with a permanent marker. Check...
