Frankenstein Bead Charm

Another last minute Halloween project for you!  I had so much fun creating this Frankenstein Bead Charm!  The bead cap I used for his hair was the inspiration for the whole thing.  When I saw that jaggedy edge, all I could see was Frankenstein's hair so I had to bring him to life, and...  IT'S ALIVE!   He's now the most adorable little Halloween character ever! and a great accessory. ❤💚

Mermaid Tail Bead Charms

Two simple beads are all you need to create a little magic!  Together, a sea shell and a teardrop become a mermaid tail!  I just used simple, inexpensive beads.  The teardrops are a beautiful, super shiny "Miracle" finish which gives these charms their mermaid look.  The sea shells are simple, plastic children's beads.  They make the perfect fins for my mermaid tail.

Pumpkin Table Setting

It doesn't get any simpler than this for your Fall table setting!  This pumpkin table setting is super cute and fun for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any Fall gathering!  All I did was use an oval paper plate in orange as the pumpkin, placed a green napkin behind as the stem and added a curling ribbon "vine".  You could also use gold, white, yellow, green...  any color of pumpkin or squash you can think of would look cute.

Halloween Soup Gift-in-a-Jar (Vegetarian option)

And so begins gift-in-a-jar season!  Happy Fall!  I've created a gift-in-a-jar mix especially with Halloween in mind: Halloween Soup!  Both the presentation and the cooked soup have a mainly orange, black, and green color to really give it a Halloweeny look.  But, it's not just pretty to look at.  I think this soup is delicious and it's very healthy.  

So, if you're invited to a Fall Festival, costume party, or other Halloween celebration, don't show up empty-handed.  Take your host/ess a jar of Halloween Soup mix.  I think they'll really like it.

Punch Art Christmas Trees

You can create super-simple Christmas trees using only circles and a star.  I also ran my die cut circles through my Cuttlebug with a snowflake patterned embossing folder to add a little detail and then did an ink dragging technique to accentuate the embossing.  You could also use a pretty patterned paper.  A simple star punch adds just the touch it needs to turn an ordinary tree into a Christmas tree!

Penguin Bead Charm

This adorable little penguin is the perfect Winter accessory!  You can turn this into earrings, a necklace pendant, purse charm, etc..  Anything you decide!

When I was browsing online and found these 10mm black and white beads, I knew immediately that they were crying to become penguins!  So I began my search for what else was needed to make their dreams a reality.  Then I found the orange wavy disc beads and that was it!  A penguin was born.  I just love this little guy! ❤

Black Cat Treat Tag

I created this tag by cutting out a piece from a cardstock background page.  I cut from the middle of the page so that I can still use the page as a background in a scrapbook layout and simply place a matted photo over the tag-shaped hole that I cut out.  This way I get my tag project completely free and when I do a scrapbook layout later on, you won't even be able to tell that something is missing from the page.  I'm very conservative with my craft supplies and I love to get multiple uses from one page.  Let me show you how I did it.
