My son is a big Harry Potter fan, and wanted to be Draco Malfoy, dressed as a Death Eater, for Halloween this year.  Now I haven’t seen the last movies, but I don’t think Draco actually ever dons a Death Eater mask, but my child was undeterred.  He was going to be Death Eater Draco.  I’d seen several tutorial out there for making Death Eater …

I’ve been on a skull crafting roll! After I made glitter skull pins in my silicone ice cube tray the other day, a friend inquired about getting a pair as earrings or barrettes. The skulls were a little heavy and large for that, so I decided to try making some smaller ones. I had some silicone clay called Sugru in my stash, as well as …

Felicity from Crafty Modern is back with us again today, this time to share a clever Halloween costume idea! Those of you who are gardeners will love the whimsical style; our readers in warmer climates will appreciate that it doesn’t require bulky clothing!

When Heather asked me if I would be interested in completing Craft’s 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 questionnaire, I was very keen on the idea.  While I write every day about craft ideas and the physical process of creating things, it’s not all that often that I get a chance to talk in-depth about why I create and the emotional energy that goes into making …

When it comes to jewelry I say go BIG or go home! (K, not always just most of the time…) There is a sort of tribal trend going on right now that i think these enormous earrings fit right in to! This is THE easiest project requiring no tools and 2 skeins of 37 cent thread.

Jessica Hill from Mad in Crafts recently entered this ingenius craft in So You Think You’re Crafty. She didn’t take first place, but they are still a great idea, especially for a child’s room. The process is remarkably simple, but the results are pretty dang cool… if I do say so myself.

I love silicone ice cube trays, especially the skull one that we’ve featured a few times.  With Halloween but a fortnight away, I decided to pull mine out and make something with it.  I wanted to use it for one thing we haven’t talked about using with ice cube trays yet:  resin!  These glittery skulls are mounted as tack pins, but you can also use …

Have you ever noticed the ghostly shape of broken eggshells?  Over at The Magic Onions, the entire family got involved in drawing silly, spooky faces on some eggshells rescued from their post-breakfast garbage.  Stringing them together turned them into a cute, no-cost mobile!  Now the only question is… how do you want your eggs?
