Halloween Crafts: DIY Trick or Treat Bag

If you have a little sprite running around this Halloween, it's a pretty safe bet that they have come up with some elaborate costume in their mind. Possible a dragon or a monster of some sort? If your going to let them go all out with their costume, they can't be walking around with a pillow case for a candy collector, it wouldn't do their awesome costume justice. 

These custom monster candy collectors are perfect for your little ghosts and goblins! Find the full tutorial at The Piper's Girls.

Halloween Crafts: Spooky Eyes Candle Holder

When I was little, my mom always decorated the house for Halloween. When I say decorated, I dont mean just pumpkins on the porch and a spider web here and there, I mean pumpkins, spider webs, black lights, spooky music, ghosts, and creepy candles! She even served the trick-or-treating candy out of a witch's cauldron. It was awesome! I have found a craft that she would l-o-v-e!

These spooky candle holders are perfect for the Halloween decorator who is not afraid to go above and beyond! Find the full tutorial at Julie Ann Art.
