Just Halloween Crafts

These fun paper pom poms make awesome and inexpensive tissue paper Halloween decorations that you can make near the last minute and are very fast and easy once you know how. You can make these large or small depending on the size of the tissue paper sheets that you're using. If you're sticking with solid colors which tend to work out a little cheaper than patterned have a go with using sheets in different colors for each finished decoration. Solid colors can look great but I think it's even better to experiment with using patterned sheets. I love the black polka dot tissue paper I used last year which I teamed up with other pom poms made in hot pink.

Chocolate spider webs are fairly quick to make up and lots of fun too, especially for themed parties and for spooky celebrations such as Halloween. Although you can certainly enjoy eating these just as they are, they do really work much better used as fun and edible decorations. These chocolate spider webs look great decorating cakes and cupcakes where they can be applied as rather creepy and edible cupcake toppers. You can see a demonstration of that in my photo. Apart from eating the chocolate spider webs whole or using them as cake toppers, these intricate designs also look good for other desserts and puddings. Use them placed on the top of desserts such as trifle, homemade cheesecakes and chocolate pot puddings too.

Sugar Skull Perler bead patterns and designs are really popular motifs. Lots of people want to decorate, make crafts and paint up their faces just like this beautiful yet creepy decorated, colorful skull. Despite these elaborate patterns actually being a symbol of The Day of the Dead , they're not actually related to Halloween but to the Mexican Holiday which is called Dia de los Muertos .  However, they make a fabulous decoration for the bewitching season of October and I've captured this style with a fused Perler bead sugar skull pattern and tutorial.

Happy Halloween! Make a stylish vintage look creepy DIY Happy Halloween banner from paper and card to hang across your walls. Greet friends and family as they walk into a room in your home or a room dressed for a party event. This striking design has been made using black card stock and printed antique style images with just some bright glitter letters and ribbon for added decoration. It's pretty easy to make and really looks amazing too. We got loads of great comments about this banner last year because it is so eye-catching and takes up lots of wall space. Grab the free printables so you can make one very similar.

These free printables are designed to work with my Happy Halloween Banner craft which is here on this site. But they can also be used for other paper craft projects too. They have rather a creepy vintage style look to them with the antiques style backgrounds. Note: all of these free design sheets are made using free public domain images from the site Pixabay. They have all been altered and then sized to all the same proportions so that it will make creating the banner nice and easy for you.
