Flyaway Favors- Halloween Goodie Bags

Sending you child to school with Halloween treats for their classmates?  Instead of using plastic goodie bags make these super cute and clever flyaway favors from Martha Stewart.  What I love about these is not only are they really cute but they are also a green alternative to the plastic goodie bags so readily available (if you make the ghost bag, to keep it green don't use the cellophane bag).

Candy Corn Vases & Bottle Vases

If you've been following along you would know by now my obsession with anything candy corn this Halloween season.  I stumbled across a tutorial from The Swell Life on how to make these candy corn vases.  I went to our local St. Vincent de Paul store and picked up a bunch of glass bottle vases and full size vases and really broke the bank.  The bottle vases were $.25 and $.50 each and the larger vases were a whopping $1.25 each.  Add a couple coats of Krylon paint in white, orange and yellow and viola...candy corn vases.  I made extra ones for my kids to give to their teachers with some fresh flowers.  Hey, some sucking up doesn't hurt. If you knew what a handful my 5 year old is, you would understand that we need all the sucking up to his kindergarten teacher we can get....or think of it as an apology gift. Get the step by step tute here.  

Halloween Yarn Spheres

These Halloween yarn spheres from Red Couch Recipes are so clever and easy.  And better yet they cost almost nothing to make.  They would look great in a nice Halloween bowl on a coffee or console table.  This is a nice and easy project to make with kids too.

Paper Fall Wreath

This paper fall wreath from Thrifty Decor Chick is so simple yet so beautiful!! This is a great craft to get the kids involved with also. Wow, who would have thought a bunch of paper punched in circles would make such a beautiful wreath like this?
