Freelance Friday: Halloween Craft Coasters



Every Halloween you mainly see the same crafts year after year. You have pumpkin decorating, trick or treat bags, wreaths, to name a few. Never have I ever seen Halloween coasters. Coasters aren’t something you normally would associate with Halloween, but that is exactly what Jamie from C.R.A.F.TS. did. She created these adorable Halloween coasters with Martha Stewart paints and stencils. This is a great craft for your kids to help create. To learn how to make these click here.

Web Wednesday: DIY Trick-or-Treat Bag



As Halloween draws near many people are getting their last minute decorations and plans together. We would like to remind you that a costume is not the only  thing you need to design, don't forget about a trick or treat bag. A fun way to decorate a trick or treat bag is by designing one yourself. That is exactly what Megan from Balancing Home did, by making this DIY treat bag. Megan made this bag using supplies from the Martha Stewart craft line. Hopefully seeing this bag will inspire you to get creative and make your own. This is a great project for tweens and teens to make. They may not trick or treat, but they can use this bag for several other things. To see all the supplies needed, and the complete instructions click here.
