Whew! Can’t believe another week flew by and what a week it’s been! Most kids are back in school and tomatos are back in season. Can we say “yippee”? Thanks to email submitted after last week’s roundup as well as combing through copious craft blogs, we have a fresh batch of creative crafts ideas for Halloween. So let’s get started!

Eerie Luminarias

What can I say? I love these paper lanterns from Better Homes and Gardens. Stick them inside your house or outside to create a unique atmosphere for all the trick-or-treaters coming to your doorstep!

Cereal Box Monsters

These cereal box monsters from SheKnows.com are great arts and crafts project for kids! You can either choose to make your own personal Frankenstein or Mummy. Directions are located here and they are simple to follow.

Creepy Cute Leaf Ghosts

Another fantastic idea from SheKnows.com is the leaf ghost made out of silk leaves (not real ones! although that would be a great way to recycle those autumn leaves). These little ghosts are perfect on tabletops or you can string them in numbers to make a garland to hang across the rooms in your house or classrooms.

Monster Treat Bags

The very talented and creative Amanda Formaro is also the creator of the Eerie Luminaires. On her blog, there are all sorts of craft ideas for people of all ages and for every occasion you can think of. These colorful treat bags are made out of ordinary brown lunch bags but with a little creativity and spicing up, these brown bags are ready to be taken out for a night of trick-or-treating!

That’s all the crafts for this week! Hope you’ve enjoyed the roundup as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Stay tuned for more amazing crafts next week!

We’re constantly on the lookout for more craft ideas to add to our weekly roundup. If you have an idea or a suggestion, please do not hesitate to leave a comment or email us! We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
