Yarn Wrapped Mini Pumpkin

 


My yarn wrapped mini pumpkin is super quick and easy to pull together as last minute decor for Thanksgiving/Fall.  These would also be a fun craft to do with your holiday guests.  I find myself doing small crafts lately because I've had my mind on tiered tray decor.. even though I don't have a tiered tray.  These would be adorable on a tiered tray!  Gotta get one!

Standing Easel Pumpkin ~ Place Card or Tiered Tray Decor

 


This standing easel pumpkin is like a 3-D version of punch art, created using simple oval shapes.  I began my "Punch Art" journey because I love the simplicity of creating new and interesting images using only basic shapes.  Here, I've ventured beyond paper punches by creating with wood cutouts.  In the future, I plan to use an even wider variety of crafting media to create punch art.... or... at this point I guess I should be calling it "Shape Art".🤷  

I love this pumpkin for tiered tray decor or as place cards (with the addition of names).  And, just like with punch art, you can create sooo many different decor items beyond the pumpkin.  The coolest part is the "kickstand":  made from something you all probably have on hand in great numbers!  Hit PLAY to see how I made it.:



Stay tuned for future "Shape Art" projects.

Apple Table Setting


Here's another super-simple table setting for you.  I think this cute little apple would be cute for a dessert table for Thanksgiving or any Fall gathering.  Even use these at Halloween for a "bobbing for apples" vibe.  These would be great for a Farm or Country theme.  You could even add in some green and yellow ones for different varieties of apples.  They would be perfect for teachers, or any school-themed occasion.  You could use these for any party theme that showcased an apple in its storyline, such as Snow White, Twilight, etc.  Let me know what theme you would use an apple with.

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. ❤💚

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.

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.

Punch Art Cauldron

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon & eBay, I earn from qualifying purchases*


Creating a Punch Art Halloween Cauldron is super easy and super fun!  For the cauldron itself I simply used ovals.  I then added some small circle bubbles and leafy flames.  

I love creating fun and whimsical punch art images from simple shapes, and it doesn't get any more simple than basic ovals.

Punch Art Bats

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, & Arteza, I earn from qualifying purchases*


I used common punches and dies to create bats for Halloween.  So simple!  All it takes is a little imagination.  In my video, I'll show you a few suggested shapes to create punch art bats for Halloween.  Some other ideas include the ever-popular egg shaped dies.  The smallest egg would be good to use as the bat's body.  The tear-drop shaped piece from the Tree Die Set would be another great option for the body.  Also, as mentioned in the video, the wings could be made using an oval die and nipping out the arches with a circle punch.  

Products that I used in the video, as well as these suggestions are linked below.  What else could you use to create a punch art bat?  I would love to hear your suggestions.  Get Craftie and see what you can come up with.  The possibilities are nearly endless with punch art.

"Poison" Caramel Apples


Make your caramel, candy, or chocolate covered apples look like "poison" apples simply by adding black food coloring.  Very fun for Halloween!  I added black sanding sugar for sparkle.. actually I added blue, purple, and black but they absorbed the dye from the caramel so it all ended up black.  So I'd suggest just getting black only if you want to add sparkle to your apples.  If not, they are just as spooky and "poisonous" without sparkle.  Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Lollipop Ghosts


BONUS VIDEO!  I got free lollipops, so y'all get a bonus video! 😃  This one is old-school, but today's generation of trick-or-treaters don't know that! 😉  I think they'll love it as much as I did when I was a kid.

Snow White Treat Bag & Party Favor



Dress up your treat bags, or gift bags, to match the birthday party theme character.  Change it up for any princess, super hero, etc.  I chose Snow White, so a "poison" apple candy bundle is the perfect party favor to go along with it.

Black Cat Napkin Folding


This black cat napkin fold is done the same as last year's Easter bunny napkin.  Just change the color, shorten the ears, and.. Voila!  I love to take an old project, change a few details, and come out with something very different!  This is perfect for Halloween... or... any day for an avid cat lover. 😼

Apple Trick-or-Treat Bundles


Viewer suggestion!  Thanks so much to Beth for suggesting apple trick-or-treat bundles in response to last year's pumpkin trick-or-treat bundles.  What a cute idea!  The leaf would be perfect as a name tag for your special trick-or-treaters.  I think you'll like the little trick for creating that leaf tag.  

These bundles are not only great for trick-or-treaters.  These would also make great treats as place cards at each person's seat for Thanksgiving dinner.  Another fun idea would be to give these as party favors at any Fall Festival or Harvest Party type of gathering.  I think I thought of another idea just now as I was typing this, for a themed birthday party favor!  I might do another video on that soon!  ðŸ˜‰

Eyeball Bead Charm


This creepy eyeball bead charm is perfect for Halloween.  You won't believe how easy it was.  All I used to create the look of the eyeball was a 14mm marbled bead, a 7mm green sequin, and a black flat-back jewel.  So easy!
