If I haven’t mentioned before, Halloween is our favorite holiday and, each year, we like to add to the decorations and props we keep around. Obviously other blogs are great for inspiration, but Pinterest has increased that exponentially!
Thankfully, I have a willing accomplice in Halloween crafting, and this year I sent Todd a couple of fun ideas, just as a ‘look, isn’t this cool?’ kind of thing, and he actually built them!
We’ve been talking about adding a coffin to our set-up for years, but just never got around to it (and often wondered how we’d store it, if we made one). But when I sent him this link to an Ground-Breaking Coffin craft, that seemed so much more doable and now it’s done!
And, hey, it even counts for our woodworking art!
While the coffin craft was 100% Todd, I actually got to help on this next one: PVC Candles.
Super simple, Todd still did all the cutting and filing, but I added the hot-glue drips on the sides and helped with the spray-painting. Lit up in a dark room (or outside, lining a walkway) they look super spooky.
At our party this weekend someone even mentioned they could work for Christmas decorations, too–hadn’t thought of that!
And on the edible front, let me share one last Pinterest-found Halloween treat, this time of the edible variety: Pumpkin Spice Fudge.
One of many desserts at this year’s pumpkin party, this super-rich fudge is super-simple to make and everyone really loved it.
Oh, the coffin one is so cool!!! Genius to do it like that.
Halloween is fun. YOu have to go to The Next Martha website and look at what she did to her yard … her video of the front is unbelievable.
