Beading Works - 5 Easy As Well As Fun Halloween Season Decorations

Halloween is fast becoming the most popular holiday in the country, now second only to Christmas, and the holiday in fact 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 solid 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 try! 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 make!

1 - Jack o'Lanterns - The standard, beadwork style! You can utilize seed beads of several shades of oranges and yellows (on a black setting if you're looking to have something larger), to hang on the mantle or as a dressing to the balcony railing. Involve the children by having them plan out the faces!

2 - Black Cats - A plain cat silhouette can be the basis for a design (all black seed beads, or black coupled 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 intricate beading project, but even the simplest designs can make quite a spectacular statement!

3 - Witches - You can do a simple bust pattern or a whole 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 than either of the projects mentioned earlier.

4 - Dangling Skeletons - Obviously the most complex of the projects stated here, these can be designed of any size you wish, but surely smaller is better from a "time to complete" viewpoint. If you don't like to worry over designing 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 definitely match the period, and are most fun when made as 3-dimensional shapes. I would not encourage going much over two inches high, or they'll take far too long to finish, but due to their relatively simple style, this is another task that's excellent to involve the children in!

As you can see on the basis of the five ideas given above, there are all sorts of exciting holiday beading projects you can push your teeth into, and this list just barely scratches the surface of the beading work available, so whether you want to use them to beautify your own house, or sell what you make, it's time to get creating!
