Beading Works - 5 Simple As Well As Exciting Halloween Creations


Halloween is fast becoming the very popular holiday in the country, presently second only to Christmas, and the holiday in fact outranks Christmas in terms of money spent on decorations, food, and drink (the reigning champion of holiday party spending is, and likely always will be, New Year's, but Halloween is a strong second!). So if you're looking for fun Halloween beading projects to "spookify" things coming October 31, then keep reading and we'll explain five fun Halloween beading projects you can make an attempt! Or, if you're going down the way 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 use seed beads of several shades of oranges and yellows (on a black background if you're looking to have 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 simple cat silhouette can be the basis for a design (all black seed beads, or black mixed with a smattering of silver for dramatic effect), with the option of using larger beads for the eyes. These can be kept quite simple or can become a dramatically more intricate beading project, but even the simplest patterns can make quite a remarkable 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 decorations, but tend to be more involved than either of the projects above.

4 - Dangling Skeletons - Obviously the most challenging of the projects pointed out 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 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 embellish with!

5 - Candy Corns - These aren't spooky, but absolutely match the season, and are most fun when made as 3-dimensional shapes. I would not recommend going much beyond two inches high, or they'll take far too long to complete, but due to their relatively simple structure, this is another task that's great to involve the kids in!

As you can see based on the five ideas above, there are all sorts of exciting holiday beading projects you can push your teeth into, and this list just simply scratches the surface of the beading tasks available, so whether you plan to use them to beautify your own home, or sell what you produce, it's time to get creating!
