These little chunky knit pumpkins will bring all the cosy vibes to your home this Halloween and are really quick and simple, so you can make your own collection to get out every year.
To make this you will need:
- Chunky yarn
- Hair donut
- Thick twig (or an old cork!)
- Felt for some leaves
- Hot glue

If you are after a more low-key decor, or have lots of thread lying around, this ghost garland is perfect for you. What is so good about these is you can completely personalise them to your style by making them more subtle, or go to town with the colours and make them into little halloween characters.
For this you will need:
- Wool (diff thicknesses and colours will look good)
- Pom poms for eyes (could use googly eyes or little sequins)
- Cardboard the length of your tassel
- Wooden beads
- String desired length of garland
Take a look at Mamacita’s website.
This craft isn’t strictly for Halloween so can be enjoyed for a longer period of time and there are so many options. These would look fab with dried leaves, paper cut outs, felt, painted leaves. You decide!
For this you will need:
- Large branch or stick depending on size you want your hanging
- Dried leaves or felt/paper to cut out
- Extras- wooden beads, cinnamon sticks and orange slices

Halloween doesn’t always have to mean traditional orange and black everything. Why not add a pop of colour to your pumpkins with paint and pompoms. These can be done on real pumpkins or even fake ones to be able to reuse them.
For this you will need:
- PomPom's
- PVA/hot glue
- Paint
- Pumpkin

One of the best things about this time of year are all the Halloween limited edition treats that are brought out. But why stop there? Why not get creative arranging your snacks into spooky characters, just like this skeleton design, and host a Halloween board night for all your friends.
For this you will need:
-
White/cream/light coloured foods (white chocolate, nuts, marshmallows)
-
Dark coloured foods (milk/dark chocolate)
-
Oval or skull shaped wooden board
