1. Shrinky Butterfly Necklace by Mark Montano

First, one of my favorite dollar store crafters uses one of my FAVORITE craft supplies: Mark Montano (the king of crafts), made a gorgeous butterfly statement necklace using my favorite kids’ craft supply: Shrinky Dink plastic!

2. Cat Ears Headband by DIY Doyenne

We think this cat ear headband is cute for Halloween and beyond! Your teen will LOVE to sport it any time of the year. From DIY Doyenne Margot Potter and her daughter Avalon.

3. Fall Burlap Wall Art from Handmade Happy Hour

Then my pal Cathie Filian from Handmade Happy Hour stitched up this cute and rustic Fall wall decor. Yay for acorns & Mod Podge!

We love this sophisticated sequin pumpkin from the JADERBOMB blog – this pumpkin decor goes beyond Halloween and straight through Thanksgiving, and even into the winter holidays. You can make it with a dollar store foam pumpkin, too!
