Just Halloween Crafts

Fused, Hama and Halloween Perler bead patterns are just the thing to have fun crafting this Fall season. Included on this page are a range of patterns from very easy and simple motifs to medium sized designs that will keep crafty hands busy for a little while longer. These fused Halloween Perler bead projects can be turned into other items for this Fall themed occasion. I will give ideas on what you can make with each project from jewelry to coasters, hanging decorations and more. Many of these Halloween bead projects are ideal for groups of kids to sit at and make during parties and as part of clubs that they attend. Have fun creating something for October 31st.

One craft my daughter never gets bored with is that of making paper snowflakes for winter and webs for Halloween. She is very happy to sit there and fold and cut, making up her own designs that can be hung up or stuck in the window as quick, easy and inexpensive decorations. Making paper spider webs is a great craft for children who have mastered the art of using child friendly scissors often from around the age of 3 – 5. It is also good practice for those who are learning to use scissors more comfortably. This kids craft can really help to develop those fine motor skills as they grasp and manipulate the scissors and it can also help with adults wanting to teach good safety measures with these instruments too. Depending on the age and skill of the child, supervision may of course be required.

I'll show you how to make some very easy and quick pirate cupcakes for a themed pirate Halloween party or birthday celebration. You'll find out how to decorate either your own homemade or some ready-made cakes that you've bought with a simple, fun and easy treasure theme. These really eye-catching pirate cupcake designs can be made by anyone from young kids with supervision to adults. They look tempting enough to go on show for a birthday or other occasion. You can create these cake designs even if you can't actually cook. The whole focus is on getting the decoration right and not whether or not you're great at baking. So come and see how you can make this popular sweet treat for your budding little swashbucklers. Above all, enjoy it and have fun.

This is a large page featuring a great list of websites where you will find many free images online that you can print and color in. We love Harry Potter and have spent many happy times enjoying coloring the images of popular characters such as Harry the boy wizard himself and Hermione. Coloring is a great activity to do with kids, especially during the long summer hols and vacation time. My daughter really loves the free Harry Potter coloring sheets that I find and print off for her. You can see an example of one that she did on this page. With younger children, coloring can really help to build up that hand and eye coordination while older kids can focus on building up their art skills as well as making fantasy posters for their walls. This is a great resource page for parents, teachers, grandparents and any adults who need to look after children.

In the run up to October 31st it's a great idea for adults to keep children entertained with fun crafts and activities relating to Halloween. Craft foam sheets are inexpensive to buy and come in a whole rainbow of color choices. Halloween foam crafts are great because they are pretty cheap and they are usually pretty easy to do as well. You can buy pre-made kits like the ones shown on this page or you can use the ideas here to make up your own activities instead. You can cut pieces into shapes for children to build up and assemble things like funny faces, costume masks, monsters and also use them to decorate pumpkins and favor or treat bags and boxes. Here's a few suggestions for sets that you can try.

I've already made a start on decorating now for Halloween because we don't get an awful lot of readily available decorations locally near where I live and I'm not going to spend a fortune buying them off the Internet when I can make them myself. There are lots of ways in which mirrors can be given some serious spooky treatment and I’ll be giving lots of inspiration for that in this post after I've shown you a couple of things that I've done myself to jazz up our own. There's a bit of DIY crafting going on and that eats up a lot of my time but it's also a lot of fun. Let's see what you can do to decorate a mirror this Halloween that looks really cool.

This sayings, Luna Lovegood quotes and sentiments page presents my favorite quips all from the lovable and very eccentric Harry Potter witch herself. The main thing I love about this character is her fashion sense because it really rocks! You may not know but the very first mention of the Lovegoods is written long before they ever appear into Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which is book 4 in the series. This mentions that "the Lovegoods have been there for a week already" and it relates to the Quidditch World Cup which is on at the time. Luna who has a very unfortunate nickname "Loony" appears in the Harry Potter books 5 through to 7. Despite the odd nickname, she became a very strong and inspiring member of Dumbledore's Army.
