Make It: Halloween Shrink Plastic Charms

Not every Halloween project has to be spooky. Today I'm sharing a charming little Halloween craft using printable shrink plastic and some smiling jack o' lantern photos. When you see how easy it is to make this Halloween charm bracelet and matching rings, you won't make just one:)

Ever since I saw these Wildflower Rings by A Kailo Chic Life, I've been looking for a project to try using printable shrink plastic (Shrinky-Dinks). What better excuse than Eighteen25's Spooktacular September? I had the pleasure of sharing this not-so-spooky Halloween craft over there last month.

Quite a few years ago I took this photo of a glowing jack o' lantern and used Adobe Photoshop Elements to take a little creative license with the colors. I ended up with a fun set of smiling jack o' lantern photos that come in handy this time of year. (I must admit this isn't the first time I've made use of these favorite images and it's not likely to be the last either.)

Print It: Halloween Bunting

Print out this darling jack-o-lantern Halloween bunting, string it on baker's twine, and add it to this year's Halloween decor!

Simple holiday decorations are the best! While there are times we go all out at our house, more often than not quick and simple wins the day. That's why I love this smiling jack-o'-lantern printable bunting. It's a festive addition that complements any Halloween party decor.

Mini Bunting for Halloween Desserts

Anybody else find themselves enamored with all of the adorable mini-buntings adorning cakes and desserts all over Pinterest? I love the simplicity and ease of these sweet little cake-toppers and thought I'd come up with a new design for Halloween.  I shared this new bunting on Landeelu last month. Wouldn't it be the perfect touch to a dessert for a Halloween party!

Halloween Spider S'mores Treats

Last Halloween, I made these cute sweet and salty s'mores that go together easily with a few ingredients and a microwave. Wrap them up in little cellophane bags for a quick and easy Halloween party favor. Or, try using a tabletop s'more maker instead of a microwave and make them together as a fun family night activity.

Supplies Needed for Halloween Spider S'mores

• Ritz Crackers 
• Large Marshmallows (cut in half) 
• Pretzel sticks (4 per s'more, broken in half) 
• Candy Melts or Chocolate Chips 
• Edible Candy Eyes (I found mine in the baking aisle at Target or learn how to make edible candy eyes from Amy at My Name is Snickerdoodle.

Make It: Jack-o'-Lantern Pendant

Earlier this month, I shared an easy DIY jewelry project for Halloween on Landeelu.com.  If you've got a few minutes, there's still time to make one (or several)!

Glass tile pendants are a fun and easy photo jewelry craft. Ever since I helped my niece make one featuring her favorite pooch, I've been wanting to try some of my own. For this Halloween version, I used a favorite "glowing" jack-o'-lantern photo that I took several years ago.

Choose a Halloween photo for your pendant or download mine below. Gather your supplies.

Supplies Needed for Glass Tile Halloween Pendants

• Glass Tiles (Mine were about .9" square. I ordered online, but I've also seen them at my local Hobby Lobby.)
• Pendant Bail (one per necklace)
• Black Satin Cord (or necklace chain of your choice)
• Mod Podge or other jewelry decoupage medium (read label to make sure it can be used on glass)
• Small Brush
• Scissors or Paper Trimmer
• Halloween Image (printed and cut to fit your tile)

Easy Pumpkin-Shaped S'Mores

If you're looking for a quick and and easy treat for Halloween or perhaps your Thanksgiving Kids' Table, these Pumpkin-Shaped S'mores I shared over on Landeelu might be just what you need.

S’mores are a favorite of mine, and this cute sweet and salty version goes together easily with a few ingredients and a microwave. Wrap them up in little cellophane bags for a quick and easy party favor for any fall event.
