Spooooooky sweets just in time for Halloween!

In our neighbourhood we take Halloween very seriously. We drop invitations into our neighbours mailboxes to check that they don't mind the neighbourhood kids descending on them. I often think that the Australian Spring is a great time to have Halloween because it's such a lovely warm, evening walk. If we're out when other families call, we make sure there is a huge bowl of these spooooooky sweets waiting on the doorstep for them!

Ready for Halloween?

Here's one of my most favourite felt projects. The best bit is that kids of all ages can cut out the felt circles. And because you're stacking them together they can be cut out fairly slap dash and it'll still look amazing!

If you like your Halloween to be more about cute pumpkins and friendly witches and less about dripping blood and severed hands, then this craft project is for you! It uses a lot of felt, so it can be expensive if you don't already have a lot lying around. You could try using any fabric scraps for more texture... or even circles of paper and card.











For more craft projects like this one, both Craft It Up books are available now.
