10 Fun Halloween And Fall Crafts

It's fall, ya'll. And that means you're probably feelin' a little crafty, or you're hosting a Halloween party that requires some decorating. I've rounded up 10 Halloween and fall inspired crafts, ranging in difficulty, that will help satisfy all your crafting needs.


These spider ice cubes are the perfect, and super easy, craft to get you and your friends into the Halloween spirit. They require little supplies, or prep work, but make a totally gross and creepy statement.


If you're looking for a Halloween craft that requires a little more dedication, but is still relatively inexpensive, try these spooky painted jar luminaries. They are a great alternative for those who don't like to touch nasty pumpkin guts, and they will last much longer than a traditional pumpkin.



On a similar note, but more appropriate for the entire fall season, try these mason jar fall luminaries. Don't have adhesive vinyl? Lay several strips of painters tape next to each other, creating a solid square. Then lay the leaf design on top and cut with an X-Acto knife. The painters tape will easily peel off the jar, leaving the leaf design free of paint.


Speaking of tracing and cutting, here's a banner for the slightly more advanced crafter. This boo banner is simple, but still makes a great statement. Boo!


Here's another banner inspired by everyone's favorite Halloween movie, "Hocus Pocus." I'm sure Winnie would approve of this Halloween banner.



For the more serious crafter, or slightly crazy cat lady, check out this adorable kitty pumpkinI This one is pretty advanced, so get ready with that hot glue gun.



Another traditional Halloween movie-inspired craft, this Jack Skellington Halloween String Garland would be perfect above a door or window. This one requires water balloons, so don't let your roommates catch you making this craft. Or do, and instead attack them. it's never too late for a little warm weather fun.



Now here is the perfect outdoor craft. This chicken wire ghost is sure to scare the crap out of at least a few people. While it requires a little more muscle power than your average craft, it's sure to impress anyone who appreciates the art of craft or spirit of Halloween.



Stuck in a dorm without a yard? Or just too worried some fool is going to drunkenly try and fight your chicken wire ghost? Well then, this is the craft for you. Turn your door into a monster, or even cover it with a spider web, by following this easy DIY Halloween door decor tutorial.



If the only craft on this list that seemed even remotely possible was the spider ice cubes, check out this tutorial. All you need is some candy corn, a pen, some glue, and a piece of paper. Skip the button, hang it on your fridge, and I'm sure your roommates will wonder where that adorable craft made by a 5-year-old came from. I'll never tell, I promise.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
