When you are wanting to make home made decorations for various occasions, you might be surprised at what you can do with egg carton crafts.  Whether you are celebrating Easter, Halloween, even Christmas, you can make great egg carton crafts that will celebrate the season and get you involved with your children as you make these cute little decorations.  Here are a few of the egg carton crafts we found to get you started:

For Halloween, one of the great egg cartons crafts you and your children can make is a spooky bat you can hang from the ceiling or from trees outside.  Take a regular, clean egg carton and make sure it is clean.  If you want to hang your bat outside, you may want to choose a Styrofoam one instead of a cardboard one.  Cut out three of the egg cups keeping all three attached side by side.  Take the two outside egg cups and cut out the front and back.  These are your bat wings.  Paint your bat black and then use white paint or glue on googly eyes.  Make a hole in the top of the center egg cup and then a string that has a knot at the end that won’t go through the hole.  Put the string in the hole, hang your bat, and enjoy your creation!

There are lots of other egg carton crafts you can make for other seasons too.  Have you ever thought about making an egg carton caterpillar?  This egg carton craft is really easy and is especially suited for the younger crowd.  Just take a typical dozen egg container and cut in half lengthwise leaving six egg cups together.  Use paint, glitter, or whatever your heart desires to decorate each egg cup.  For the front one, draw on a cute face and use a pipe cleaner to make antennae.  What could be even better?  Don’t call him a caterpillar; call him a bookworm which will encourage children to read more!

Going back to egg carton crafts for Halloween, you can also make a spider from an egg carton cup.   Just separate one cup from the carton.  Using the point of a scissors, an adult should make four small holes on each side of the cup for the legs.  Insert a pipe cleaner into each of the holes twisting it from the inside to secure.  Draw a face on the front and decorate the body and you have an egg carton spider.  You can also paint the cup black as well and then decorate accordingly.

Egg carton crafts are very fun to make, and when you use a little creativity, we’re willing to be you’ll be surprised at what you can create!

One of the easiest Halloween crafts that you can make is egg carton bats.  The best part about making this type of craft is that they are easy enough for any age and you can really be creative if you so desire.  There’s nothing better than having a house full of bats to decorate your home for Halloween.  Egg cartons are readily available, and egg carton bats are easy to make and cute at the same time.  Here are two ways to make these cute crafts.

First, take a clean, empty egg carton and cut out three of the cups keeping them attached together.  Cut out the front of the outer two cups.  These are your bat’s wings.  If you want to, you can also cut out the back part of the outer two cups as well.  Paint your bat black.  You can either use white paint for eyes or glue on googly eyes that you can find in any craft store.  The face will go on the center cup.  If you want your bat to look especially sinister, you can also paint on fangs.  Poke a hole in the top of the cup.  Take a string and make a knot in the end of it that will not come through the hole and string through the hole.  Make a lot of these and hang them everywhere for a spooky home!

If you want to use a rubber band to string on your egg carton bats, it can make them especially fun because they can bounce around.  If you use a Styrofoam egg carton and waterproof paint, you can make a lot of these bats and hang them from trees around your home to make your yard look especially decorative.  If you do this, you may want to look into glow-in-the dark googly eyes or use glow in the dark paint that will be really scary at night which is when Halloween is at its scariest!

The great part about making egg carton bats is that they can be made by children of all ages.  Adults will find themselves having just as much fun as children crafting their bats.  Even older children can find enjoyment in this fun craft.  As with any other crafting project, making egg carton bats teaches children a lot of valuable tools that they can take with them to school and in other places.  It encourages creativity and instills pride as they watch a simple egg carton take shape into egg carton bats that they can be proud of!

If you are having a Halloween party, there is nothing more fun to have on hand than edible Halloween crafts.  It’s great for partygoers to nosh on eyeballs, spiders, and other types of edible Halloween crafts.  It not only makes the party fun, but it makes it interesting as well.

Here’s one of our favorite recipes for edible Halloween crafts – Yummy Brains:

Take one package blueberry Jell-O mix and prepare according to directions.  Pour a 16 ounce container of cottage cheese into a bowl. Take a can of blueberries in syrup and drain off the syrup.  Add the blueberries to the cottage cheese and mix well.  Add blue food coloring sparingly to turn the cottage cheese/blueberry mixture to a gray color when mixed together.  To serve, place a scoop of Jell-O on a plate, pour the blueberry syrup over the Jell-O and top with cottage cheese mixture.  MMMM – Yummy Brains!

Are you hungry for more edible Halloween crafts?  How about trying out some creepy eyeballs?  Basically, these are deviled eggs with a black olive in the middle.  In the event you do not know how to make deviled eggs, here’s how.  Take eggs and boil them for about two minutes.  Reduce heat and leave on stove for three more minutes.  Drain off the hot water and then give them a cold bath until they are cooled down.  Peel the eggs and slice them lengthwise.  Scoop out the yolks and mash with a fork until smooth.  If you boil up about half a dozen eggs, you should add about ¼ cup of mayo (adjust to make sure the mixture is creamy but not runny).  Add some prepared mustard and mix well.  Scoop the yolk mixture into the egg whites.  Place a black olive into the center of each yolk and you have some eyeballs ready to eat!

Finally, the best edible Halloween crafts we found is the recipe for Monster Toes or Bloody Fingers.  You’ll first need cocktail wieners.  Cut a wedge into the end of each to make a place for the toe/finger nail.  Cut flour tortillas into 4 inch long by ¾ inch wide strips.  Roll each wiener into a tortilla strip, secure with a toothpick, and place on a cookie sheet.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 7 minutes.  After removing from oven, fill the toe/finger nail portion with ketchup and serve.  Ewww, but yummy – all at the same time!

Edible Halloween crafts are fun to make and even more fun to eat.  There are a lot of creative ways to make food into scary edible Halloween crafts – just use your imagination and then enjoy watching your guests eat their scary treats!

Kids love making crafts, so take the time to look around and find some easy Halloween crafts for kids.  Crafting does not have to be difficult, and you can make easy Halloween crafts for kids with a little imagination, creativity, and some common household items.  There is nothing more fun for kids than to decorate your home with Halloween decorations that they have made themselves.  They will feel pride in what they have created and have fun doing it.  Here are a couple easy Halloween crafts for kids that you may want to try.

We LOVE fun foam that can be purchased at craft stores or department stores.  Buy several sheets in colors of orange, black, green, and white.  Cut out some ovals and circles from various colors.  Look on the Internet for Halloween images that you can print to your personal printer.  Try to find witches, bats, skeletons, and black cats.  You may have to reduce these images to fit onto your base.  If you are especially good at drawing, you can even try to draw your own!  Cut these images out of contrasting fun foam colors and glue onto the shapes you have cut out.  Punch a hole in the top, draw a string through the hole and then hang these fun ornaments anywhere you can think of!

Easy Halloween crafts for kids can even be crafts that are adapted from more difficult crafts.  Want to have scary ghosts hanging from your trees?  Take an ordinary plastic bag you get from the grocery store and cut off the handles.  Place a Styrofoam ball in the top for the head and secure with a rubber band.  Then shred the bottom into strips and poke a hole above the head to insert a string for hanging.  Don’t forget to draw on a scary face!  For extra fun, attach a bell or two to the bottom of the strips so you can hear your ghost “singing” in the wind.

Finally, one of the most easy Halloween crafts for kids might be the most fun.  Buy a few dark colored candles – black preferably – and provide your child with various trinkets like sequins, candy corn, fun foam shapes, or whatever you can think of.  Have them glue these trinkets on the outside of the candle and you have a great Halloween decoration for your home!

Easy Halloween crafts for kids are great ways to get kids interested in crafts and instill a sense of pride as visitors marvel over your great decorations.  They can proudly say, “I made that!”

If you are looking for some easy Halloween crafts and decorations, you have come to the right place!  While we cannot give you a whole lot of ideas in the space we have allotted, we can give you a few suggestions along with some great web sites you may want to visit so you can find your own easy Halloween crafts and decorations.  When you use your imagination, you may be surprised at what you can come up with using common household items and a little ingenuity!

When we looked around the Internet for easy Halloween crafts and decorations, we found a great idea to decorate your walkway in skeleton or pumpkin luminaries.  Basically, you take a simple brown paper lunch bag and cut out either a pumpkin face or a skeleton.  Use spray paint to paint the bags either orange or black.  Place sand in the bottom of the bag to weight it down.  You don’t want to use large candles to light the bags, so we generally recommend using tea candles or small votive candles inside glass votive cups.  Place the candles into the sand and light for a nice, creepy effect and a great way to lead towards the treats awaiting trick or treaters on your porch!

Easy Halloween crafts and decorations are simple to come up with using your imagination.  You can get the same effect of the luminaries by using simple Mason canning jars.  First, take and cut out a pumpkin face or skeleton from a piece of paper.  Tape the paper to the front of the Mason jar and spray paint with orange or black paint.  Then place a candle inside the jar and you have a glass luminary!

Simple orange construction paper can turn into great window decorations you can add to your arsenal of easy Halloween crafts and decorations.  Just cut out a pumpkin face and tape several to a window to cover the entire window. Light from behind with a simple table lamp and – VOILA – you have some great window peeps to greet visitors.

You can also take a simple candle and glue on decorations for more easy Halloween crafts and decorations.  Use candy corn, black beading, sequins, or whatever your mind can come up with.  Don’t use hot glue as this will melt the candle.  Simple white school glue will do just fine.

Here’s one of the especially easy Halloween crafts that we found and that can be done by almost anyone – a Q-Tip skeleton.  First, take and cut a skull out of some white paper.  You can choose to draw on the eyes, nose, and mouth, or you can cut them out.  Then take Q-tips to make the skeleton’s body.  Arrange them on black construction paper so that he has arms, legs, ribs, etc.  You can cut the Q-tips into shorter lengths if you think that will work better.  Once you are happy with your arrangement, just use white glue to secure the Q-tips and let dry!

We love edible Halloween crafts!  When looking for easy Halloween crafts, this one is a real winner – especially with kids.  First, take a scoop of chocolate ice cream and place in the bottom of a clear plastic cup.  Then place some Oreo cookies into a Zip-Loc baggie and smash them into little bits.  Pour the cookie crumbles on top of the ice cream and add gummy worms.  Take a spoon and enjoy eating dirt and worms!

Even some difficult Halloween crafts can be adapted into easy Halloween crafts.  You can make a really cute pumpkin wreath by drawing pumpkins onto orange construction paper and drawing on scary faces with black magic marker.  Cut out your pumpkins.  Then take a paper plate and cut out the middle circle.  Glue your pumpkins around the edges of the paper plate and punch a hole in the top.  Place a string through the hole and hang. 

Finally, one of the easy Halloween crafts we found can make you the talk of your neighborhood – ghostly bushes!  Take a plain white sheet and fold it in half.  Place newspapers in between the fold and use either a permanent black magic marker or craft paint to draw on a ghost face.  You can make the face scary or funny – your choice!  Once dry, place the sheet over your bush and secure tightly in the back with clothespins.

You can find all sorts of easy Halloween crafts.  The key to making them fun is to use your imagination and creativity.  Have fun with your easy Halloween crafts and then decorate your home for this fun holiday!

Halloween is all about scary, eerie, and fun decorations.  Here is one of the great arts and crafts ideas for Halloween that we found.  If you have bushes in front of your house, this decoration might just make you the talk of the neighborhood.  First, take a plain white sheet.  The size will depend on the size of your bushes.  Fold the sheet in half and place newspaper inside the fold.  Use either a black permanent magic marker or black fabric paint to make a ghost face on the front of your sheet.  When it’s dry, take and place it around your bush and secure it in the back tightly with clothespins.

Another one of our arts and crafts ideas for Halloween can also make the outside of your house look very scary and very festive.  Take an ordinary brown lunch bag and paint it orange.  Use scissors or an X-acto knife to cut out a scary pumpkin face.  Fill the bottom with about ½” of sand and submerge a tea light candle or votive candle in the bottom.  Make several of these luminaries to line your walkway on trick or treat night.

For another example of arts and crafts ideas for Halloween, why not make a fun garland of pumpkins or ghosts to drape around your home?  All you need is some orange construction paper (for pumpkins) or white construction paper (for ghosts).  Take a pencil and free-hand draw a ghost or a pumpkin on the paper.  When you draw the figure, leave a tab at the top because you will be folding the tab over the string to secure it.  Take a black magic marker and draw on a scary or funny face of your figure and then cut them out of the paper.  Make several of these so that you can make your garland long.  Fold over the tab and place the string by the fold.  You can then secure the figures with tape, glue, or staples.  Use green string for a pumpkin garland and black string for a ghost garland and you are all ready to go.

There are so many arts and crafts ideas for Halloween on the Internet, but there are even more in your head if you really think about it.  Use your creativity and then have fun!

If you are a creative type, or just want to by, look into arts and crafts Halloween decorations that you can make to get you started into the wonderful world of crafts! Arts and crafts Halloween decorations are not only fun to make, but they really can give your home a festive look on this fun holiday. You do not have to be a master artisan to make arts and crafts Halloween decorations. All you need is some imagination, creativity, and some supplies and you are ready to go! Try a few of these simple ideas:

One of our favorite and easiest arts and crafts Halloween decorations to make is creepy candles. Get some candles in dark colors or in the classic colors of Halloween – orange and black. Gather some trinkets together like sequins, beads, and even candy corn. The selection is limitless. In our local dollar store, they even have table sprinkles in the shapes of bats, ghosts, pumpkins, and witches. Now, if you use small objects like these, you should probably use tweezers. I’ve even seen people glue on the fake cobwebs which makes for a really neat look! Using simple white school glue, glue these trinkets all around the candle until you like the way it looks. Place them all around the house and enjoy the way they look!

Arts and crafts Halloween decorations can be great projects for friends and family to do together. Enjoy each other’s creativity and learn from each other as you try out new techniques or just experiment around.

Here’s another one of our arts and crafts Halloween decorations that we use in our home. I love having scary things hanging from our trees. Make a creepy balloon ghost from a simple white balloon and two plain plastic grocery bags. Cut the handles off the bags along with any writing that is on them. Leaving the bottom seam end, use scissors to shred the bag into “danglies” until you get about one inch away from the seam. Blow up the balloon and knot it. With the knot at the top, take tape and tape the seam of one bag to the front of the balloon and one to the front. I like to use black electrical or duct tape because it holds better. Draw a scary face on your ghost and attach a string to the knot of the balloon. Sometimes, I like to attach a couple of bells to the bottom of my ghosts so I can hear them haunting my yard! I make several of these and hang them all over the yard which is a lot of fun for my neighbors and friends!

Arts and crafts Halloween decorations can be easy or difficult, but there’s no doubt about it, when you make your own Halloween décor, the possibilities are limited only by your own creativity!
