Just Halloween Crafts

Now is the time to get crafting in earnest for Halloween because October 31st comes around so quickly every single year. I love making things from felt fabric because I find it an easy material to sew with. Bucilla, who are renowned for their wonderful applique kits, have come up with some incredible looking Halloween felt applique kits just perfect for the spook time season.  You don't need to worry about edges fraying with felt because they stay just as you cut them. It is a joy to sew with and easy to push the needle through for hand stitching because it is soft.

If you enjoy making some pretty butterfly themed crafts, having your own good template that you can use to trace around becomes pretty invaluable. To make things much quicker and easier for you, I’ve got a free design butterfly silhouette template that you can print off and use. This is for quite a large design which should fill most of a letter or A4 sheet size when you print it out. I've created plenty of simple outline shapes based on these pretty winged insects before. But never a silhouette style of design with cut-away sections on the inside of the wings. You may even be lucky to print this a much larger scale depending on your access to a suitable printer.
