Tuesday Tutorials: Halloween Craft Roundup!




It's hard not to get caught up in the spookiest day of the year. Help spread the excitement to your little ones with one (or more) of these bootiful Halloween crafts (sorry, we couldn't resist).

This sweet Black Cat Plushie featured on Etsy how-to's will stick around long after Halloween ends and is so cute you might consider making an entire family (psssst they don't have to be black).

We've made similar mobiles out of branches and paper cutouts for friends' nurseries but this Bat Mobile via The Long Thread has a bit of a Halloween vibe and the supplies are easy to gather (you can easily use white thread in place of clear).

If you're having a Halloween themed party (or birthday party) these Spider Web Balloons over at Crafty Crafty are a bit more labour intensive (and intimidating for balloon amateurs such as ourselves) but would certainly spook up a room.

We love Domesticali's Felt Bats and are trying to decide whether or not they'd live on post-Halloween. We think so.

Tissue Pomettes are one of the easiest decorations that give you huge bang for your effort. And don't think these won't become a permanent fixture in your little lady's room - my talented friend Zoe hung hot pink poms from her dining room ceiling for her daughter's third birthday party last year and I don't think they came down for weeks.

Last but not least, who can't resist a room full of sweet and simple tissue ghosts - we loved making these as a child almost as much as we love to share them with our children.

Enjoy!
