Last year I made these wonderful origami bats to grace the front porch for our Halloween party:
Sadly, this year we’re too busy to do anything other than maybe carve an obligatory pumpkin for the garden, so I thought I’d round up some of the best makes and bakes I’ve found online.
- Eeek! Mini pumpkins
This is so simple but I think it looks great! Check out the how-to here.
- Spider cupcakes
You can easily turn cupcakes into spooky spiders with the help of some liquorice for the legs and candy for the eyes! There are loads of different ideas out there, here are a few of my favourite pictures to help you decorate your own:
- Halloween Up-cycled
Out of all of these great eco-friendly spooky craft projects, I think this plastic skull is my favourite:
There’s a simpler version here using milk cartons. I’m sure you don’t need that fancy schmancy machine.
- Monster Brownies
Something else simple, effective and adaptable! Sometimes all you need is an idea and it can get you going. Check out monster brownies and out here.

Newly Knitted- craft stall creations
We’ve been hard at it knitting lots of cosy things for the November 4th craft fair!
Arm warmers:
Boot cuffs:
Headbands:
Come along! We have the usual paper goods, plus lots of snuggly knitted things for winter and some Christmas stock, too.
A couple of friends, the husband and I took a trip to Milton Keynes shopping centre last weekend to check out the handmade and vintage fair.
Packed with the kitsch, the cute and the unconventional, it was a veritable feast of inspiration for someone like me! The stalls all looked fabulous and there were some really great examples of homemade fare on offer. Looking around just made me want to go home and make things!
One of the best things was that there wasn’t a stall in direct competition with the products I make and wandering around I kept thinking how well they would fit in with the whole feel of things.
The team aboard The Craft Fantastic sadly found out about this fair too late to bag a stall, but we’re super hopeful to get one next year!

I do not think there’ll ever be a time when I don’t want most key-related things I see. I think I can trace my love affair with keys back to Clarks Princess shoes. I would totally still wear them now. Remember the advert?
Currently lusting after these cute key earrings:
This oh-so-cute key ribbon:
This lock & key necklace:
All available from the wonderful crafters of Folksy.

There are so many things I should be making right now, but I just couldn’t resist making this teeny tiny notebook.
See how small!
