Halloween Crafts

I have decided I officially like crafting and shall do it more often.  I found a neighbor that loves to do it too and we have made plans for lots more crafts. The first is a cute little candy bag for Addison to go trick-or-treating with.  Instructions are found here

I am super special and can not properly calculate the yardage needed.  I ended up purchasing way more fabric then we needed for two bags.  As I sat there staring at my piles of felt I thought “Why not make little baby candy corns?”  So, I did (I do lots of things to avoid doing dishes).

I love wreaths but I am a cheap individual and don’t like to spend money so I made this for the front door.

The constant rain we had for a week made it wig out a bit but it still worked.  I think it is not intended for dreary, windy and rainy weather.

Lastly, I made pumpkins out of books, found here.  I did not follow the instructions precisely because I love shortcuts so my pumpkins are a tad bit lopsided but I still think they are acceptable.
