Though I haven’t gotten there quite yet, last year I had a really fun time this year with Halloween crafting and decorating. Mostly I made decorative things and I put in a little bit of effort for my front porch. It didn’t look like a ghost factory or anything and it’s a pretty sedate setup. But, in all honesty, I just love it despite it not being super busy.
When I craft I want to make things that aren’t necessarily easy enough for a child. I want to be challenged at least a little bit. Plus I don’t like crafting with toilet paper rolls or dried pasta :) If you’re a crafty adult and want to see some adult-friendly Halloween crafts, you’re in the right place! We’ve got almost 60 cool Halloween crafts that are easy all of the way up to special skills (like quilting) required. Let’s check them out!
