Halloween Ideas

If you know me well enough, you'll know that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!! I love dressing up, eating free candy, and decorating-- so a holiday that allows me to do all of the above is just fabulous. I thought I'd share some fun Halloween crafts I've found, but just don't have the time, energy, (or money!) to make. Try them on you're own, and let me know how they turn out!

Glue buttons on a pumpkin for a cleaner alternative to carving. (It will also last longer than a carved pumpkin.)

Rather than immediately recycling milk gallons, save them and make a fun walk way for trick-or-treaters.  It looks as if these "ghosts" are lit with christmas tree lights. 

These candy-corn sugar cookies are so easy to make!! Divide your sugar cookie dough into thirds: keeping one third the natural "sugar cookie" color, dying the second third orange, and dying the final third yellow. Roll the colors out into a rectangle, and stack each of the colors on top of one another. Next, slice your "candy-corn Neapolitan" cookie rectangle and cut it up into individual triangle shaped cookies. 

Glue googalie eyes of all different sizes onto a frame and add ribbon and letter embellishments. 

Found this idea from the website of the domestic goddess: Martha Stewart. Use half of a pumpkin as a bird feeder. 

Last, but not least, Lilly Pulitzer inspired pumpkins! Cutest idea I've seen to incorporate a little pink and green for Halloween!
