Beading Works - 5 Practical As Well As Exciting Halloween Season Creations
Halloween is fast becoming the most popular holiday in the country, presently second only to Christmas, and the holiday really outranks Christmas with respect to 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 compelling second!). So if you're looking for fun Halloween beading projects to "spookify" things next October 31, then keep reading and we'll explain five fun Halloween beading projects you can try! Or, if you're going down the way of selling the fruits of your bead craft work, you will find a large and standing market for the designs you create!
1 - Jack o'Lanterns - The traditional, beadwork style! You can make use of 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 plain cat silhouette can be the basis for a pattern (all black seed beads, or black combined with a smattering of silver for impressive effect), with the option of using larger beads for the eyes. These can be kept relatively simple or can become a dramatically more intricate beading project, but even the simplest designs can make quite a remarkable statement!
3 - Witches - You can do a simple bust pattern or a whole figure representation of a witch on a broomstick, depending on your overall skill level. These are entertainment to make, and make excellent designs, but tend to be more involved than either of the projects above.
4 - Dangling Skeletons - Obviously the most complex of the projects pointed out here, these can be created of any size you wish, but surely smaller is better from a "time to complete" perspective. If you don't want to worry over making an actual skeletal design, you can weave a skeletal pattern onto a black background, say, the size of a square drink coaster and still have a beautiful piece to decorate with!
5 - Candy Corns - These aren't spooky, but absolutely suit the period, and are most fun when crafted as 3-dimensional shapes. I would not suggest going much more than two inches high, or they'll take far too long to complete, but due to their relatively simple structure, this is another work that's excellent to involve the kids in!
As you can see as outlined in the five ideas given above, there are all sorts of fun holiday beading projects you can push your teeth into, and this list just barely scratches the surface of the beading tasks available, so whether you want to use them to decorate your own home, or sell what you develop, it's time to get creating!
