Pretty Pet Collar for Halloween



Love your pet, and Halloween?  Then there is a quick and inexpensive project that you can make for both.

** I was compensated for this post.  This post also contains affiliate links for which I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

Shop Dollar Tree.com for all your Halloween crafting and decorating needs.  Everything is $ 1.00!

Here is my Purrfectly posed Pussycat.





To make the purfect collar, begin with a collar.  Adjust it, so it fits your kitty.  Add a bit more length to account for the thickness of all the ribbons.


Supplies


Sheer Bright Ribbon in orange, and black
Cat collar in  orange or black

Directions.

1. Cut the ribbons into 8 inch long pieces.



2. To keep tips from fraying you can add some "Fray Check" or clear nail polish, or even glue to cut edges.

3. Tie each piece of ribbon to the collar, alternating colors as you go.


**Warning, this is intended as a decorative piece for your pet to wear for a short period. Do not leave your pet unattended with this collar for too long.

I hope that you enjoy this project and are inspired to do your own craft projects for Halloween.  Remeber, you can find all the supplies I used at your local Dollar Tree, and even online at DollarTree.com.

15 minute Halloween Craft


Have a Cricut®?  Have 15 minutes?  Then you have all you need to make this spooky Halloween Decoration for your home and be ready for All Hallow's Eve!

**This post contains affiliate links which compensate me for purchases made from these links

With the help of the Cricut Design Space I chose two images.  A haunted house, and A Halloween tree.


                             I cut the black cardstock with my Cricut Explore Air 2.



I drew lines on the tree with Aleene's 15601 Original Tacky Glue, 16-Ounce and on the house, which I followed with a generous amount of martha stewart glitter.


Once the glue and glitter had dried I used some Hot Glue with my
Ad-Tech 0443 Two-Temp Cordless Glue Gun  to adhere the shapes to the Glass Mason Jar.

                             
                                              I added some colorful faux Gems in the jar.


                                        Finally, I inserted a battery operated Votive Candle.

                                                       Here is another view of the project.

Halloween Wreath Made Easy Peasy with Dollar Tree



Halloween is just around the corner.  Are you thinking of decorating your home?  I am, and I love making things.  So I am combining my passions.
 I made a wreath that takes very little time to do.  Also, it costs very little!  I bought all the supplies I needed at the Dollar Tree. Here is my project.


***I was compensated for this post.  This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.***

Did you know that many of the same items I used to make my craft are also available online, at Dollar Tree.com?


To make this I simply used the foam ring as the base.  I wrapped some Decorative Halloween mesh ribbon around the Green Foam Floral Ring securing it in place with some pins.


To decorate it I added some of the lovely Halloween Diamond Wrap Ribbon.  Finally, I attached a big bow made from the same mesh.

                   Get your Creepy Crafting on.  Thank you for stopping by.Happy Halloween
