DIY Spooky Halloween Candles (Quick and Easy!)

Last updated on: September 7, 2019 By Kaylene Filed Under: Craft, DIY, Halloween, How To Leave a Comment

A dimly lit image showing battery powered pillar candles wrapped with orange craft paper that is decorated with Jack O Lantern faces. The facial features have been cut out so that the light from the candles shines through. Text overlay says: DIY Spooky Halloween Candles.

These DIY Halloween candles are great for a simple last minute Halloween decoration because they’re so very quick and easy to make! We never celebrated Halloween when I was a kid. We might have had some decorations up at school but that was about it. That’s because Halloween wasn’t a big thing in Australia back then so there was not much made of it. Celebrating Halloween is much more popular nowadays. I saw quite a few kids out trick or treating last year which was fun. This year might be … [Read more...]

Simple Puff Pastry Bones for Halloween

Last updated on: September 8, 2019 By Kaylene Filed Under: Appetizers, Halloween, Holidays & Special Occasions, Recipes Leave a Comment

Several bone shaped puff pastry snacks on a plate. A small bowl of tomato sauce can also be seen on the plate.

I had this cool idea for some Halloween appetizers a few weeks back but I didn’t know how they would turn out.

My first attempt lacked flavour so I had another try. The next … [Read more...]

I have become a bit addicted to making plastic earrings lately!

I wasn’t sure what to use until I came across an old orange seedling punnet in the garden shed the other day. As soon as I … [Read more...]

Spooky DIY Solar Halloween Lights

Last updated on: September 3, 2019 By Kaylene Filed Under: Halloween Leave a Comment

Night time image showing multi coloured lights decorated with Halloween theme pictures. Text overlay says: DIY Solar Halloween Lights (make them using regular solar garden lights!).

Why go out and buy Halloween lights when you can make you own solar ones. In this post I’ll show you how to make your existing solar lights creepy for Halloween! Halloween is not a huge event here in Australia although it is getting more and more popular each year. We haven’t made any Halloween decorations at our house in the past because we don’t get any trick or treaters where we live. The distance between houses is a bit big for the kids probably! Still I started thinking about … [Read more...]
