Beading Projects - 5 Easy As Well As Exciting Halloween Creations
Halloween is fast becoming the most important holiday in the country, currently second only to Christmas, and the holiday in fact outranks Christmas in terms of money spent on decorations, food, and drink (the leading champion of holiday party spending is, and likely always will be, New Year's, but Halloween is a solid second!). So if you're looking for fun Halloween beading projects to "spookify" things next October 31, then keep reading and we'll run through five fun Halloween beading projects you can consider! Or, if you're going down the path of selling the fruits of your bead craft project, you will find a large and waiting market for the designs you make!
1 - Jack o'Lanterns - The classic, beadwork style! You can utilize seed beads of several shades of oranges and yellows (on a black background if you're looking to create something larger), to hang on the canopy or as a dressing to the porch railing. Involve the children by having them plan out the faces!
2 - Black Cats - A simple cat silhouette can be the basis for a design (all black seed beads, or black mixed with a smattering of silver for amazing effect), with the option of using larger beads for the eyes. These can be kept relatively simple or can become a dramatically more sophisticated beading project, but even the simplest kinds can make quite a dramatic statement!
3 - Witches - You can do a simple bust pattern or a full figure representation of a witch on a broomstick, based on your overall skill level. These are fun to make, and make excellent decor, but tend to be more involved than either of the projects above.
4 - Dangling Skeletons - Definitely the most advanced of the projects mentioned here, these can be designed of any size you wish, but obviously smaller is better from a "time to complete" viewpoint. If you don't want to worry over designing an actual skeletal design, you can weave a skeletal pattern onto a black background, say, the size of a square drink coaster and still have an appealing piece to accessorize with!
5 - Candy Corns - These aren't spooky, but certainly match the season, and are most fun when made as 3-dimensional shapes. I would not recommend going much over two inches high, or they'll take far too long to complete, but on account of their fairly simple design, this is another task that's great to involve the children in!
As you can see based on the five ideas above, there are all sorts of fun holiday beading projects you can stick your teeth into, and this list just only scratches the surface of the beading projects available, so whether you plan to use them to beautify your own home, or sell what you make, it's time to get creating!
