How adorable are these Halloween crafts from Felt Playground?! I love the look and feel of felt and these are perfect additions to any Halloween goodie bags or during playtime and festivities on Hallow’s Eve. Be sure to check out Felt Playground for an array of  finger puppets and play foods for all occassions!

Green Halloween® is a nationwide non-profit initiative started by mother-daughter team Corey Colwell-Lipson and Lynn Colwell. In 2010, Green Halloween became a program of EcoMom® Alliance and has events in cities across the U.S.

After Christmas, Halloween is the second biggest Holiday for consumer spending on decor.

Aside from all of the human and environmental costs associated with cheaply made, cheaply bought decorative items, store-bought decor rarely comes with the *charm* that comes along with handmade items.

If you’re looking for fun, easy Halloween crafts that can later become decor, check out Patern Mart and do a search under “Halloween.”

My top craft-of-the-week? Needle felted pumpkins (no knitting required!), made from wool (which, as I noted below is ultra-Earth-friendly). Try Decadent Fibers for kits and materials.

If you’re not feeling crafy? Check out Etsy – the online marketplace for all things handmade. I mean, who can resist these itty-bitty-wooly candy corns?
