Today is Oct. 1 – so it’s now more than OK for us to talk about all-things Halloween! The stores are OFFICIALLY decorated and ready for all of your haunting needs. I’m guessing your kids have one, if not many, ideas for this year’s costume. No matter where you are with your Halloween prep, you’ve got plenty of time to get ready for spooky fun. This week’s roundup mixes some Halloween with a hint of autumn.
Fuzzy Monster Snap Bracelets
Craft blogger Margot Potter has given basic snap bracelets the Halloween treatment! These plain accessories, found in the jewelry department at your local Target, transform into bats and monsters thanks to some fuzzy fur and lots of googly eyes.
Pencil Picture Frame
OK, OK – so it’s not a Halloween project. But now that we’ve got one full month of school under our belts, you probably have some new school pictures to choose from for framing. (Hat tip to Dollar Store Crafts for sharing this project!)
