Halloween may be just one day away, but it's not too late to take advantage of the season with a lineup of crafts from Alexa at The Swell Life, who put together this marathon of projects: 24 Halloween-themed DIYs in just 24 hours. A few of our favorites:
Easy Halloween Ribbon/Button Bracelet: Wrap a bracelet with bright ribbon, and attach fall-colored buttons and tiny rhinestones for a sparkly accessory that brings some subtle Halloween color to non-costume outfits.
Decoupaged Halloween Tissue Ornaments: Use green, orange, or black tissue paper to decoupage glass ornaments, add a ribbon, and hang them on bare tree branches for a quick and easy decoration.
Halloween Spooky Swirl Vase: Set out fall blooms in a richly textured vase for a grown-up dinner party with a few basic materials: a tall vase, orange yardstick, and pre-cut black swirls. Accent with candles, and your table is set.
Halloween Pennant Cupcake Picks: Baking up a batch of cupcakes for your kids' post-trick-or-treating party? Use toothpicks and scraps of Halloween paper to make nametags or highlight your favorite holiday sayings.
