Halloween is fast becoming the most popular holiday in the country, currently second only to Christmas, and the holiday really outranks Christmas with respect to money spent on decorations, food, and drink (the leading champion of holiday party spending is, and possibly always will be, New Year's, but Halloween is a compelling second!). So if you're looking for fun Halloween beading projects to "spookify" things coming October 31, then keep reading and we'll run through five fun Halloween beading projects you can make an attempt! Or, if you're going down the plan of selling the fruits of your bead craft project, you will find a large and standing market for the designs you create!
1 - Jack o'Lanterns - The traditional, beadwork style! You can make use of seed beads of several tints of oranges and yellows (on a black setting if you're looking to make something larger), to hang on the mantle or as a dressing to the patio railing. Involve the children by having them plan out the faces!
2 - Black Cats - A basic cat silhouette can be the basis for a layout (all black seed beads, or black combined with a smattering of silver for amazing effect), with the option of using larger beads for the eyes. These can be kept quite simple or can become a dramatically more complex beading project, but even the simplest designs can make quite a spectacular statement!
3 - Witches - You could do a simple bust pattern or a complete figure representation of a witch on a broomstick, based on your overall skill level. These are enjoyable to make, and make excellent decor, but tend to be more involved compared to either of the projects above.
4 - Dangling Skeletons - Obviously the most advanced of the projects pointed out here, these can be created of any size you wish, but certainly smaller is better from a "time to complete" perspective. If you don't like to worry over creating an actual skeletal design, you can weave a skeletal pattern onto a black background, for example, the size of a square drink coaster and still have a beautiful piece to decorate 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 suggest going much over two inches high, or they'll take far too long to finish, but because of their relatively simple structure, this is another task that's wonderful to involve the kids in!
As you can see based on the five ideas above, there are all forms of exciting holiday beading projects you can stick your teeth into, and this list just only scratches the surface of the beading work out there, so whether you plan to use them to embellish your own house, or sell what you develop, it's time to get making!
