With it being only a couple of days until Halloween, we thought we would give you the Halloween Hook-up in today's blog post - a collection of Halloween inspired paper craft projects, a costume idea or two and links to some of the Halloween projects we shared last year. So grab that bag of candy meant for the neighborhood kids, help yourself to a treat or two and keep reading! Tags Do you make Halloween Treats for your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers or others? Making a quick tag is a great way to "dress up" a little treat for gift giving. ![]() I love how they turned this tag into a ghost with the addition of some punches from black paper. If you don't have googly eyes you could make some eyes out of paper. Add a touch of Wink of Stella in clear to give the ghost a little sparkle in his eye! Source These tags turned out adorable with pieces of Halloween paper and ephemera layered on them. We have Tim Holtz ephemera, gorgeous Halloween collections from Authentique and more in stock to create similar tags with. ![]() If you need a quick and easy tag/treat idea, I love this pocket tag that was created to hold a small candy bar. So cute! Love how the ghosts "pop" with their inked edges (use Distress Inks and a small sponge dauber to create a similar effect). Source Costumes Since chances are you are a crafter if you are ready this, what about dressing up like that?! You know how it can be when you leave a Creative Weekend in the Studio or after an afternoon of crafting at home. You end up with washi tape stuck to your arm, ink and paint smudges all over, glitter in your hair, a random sequin stuck who-knows-where and more. Live your truth and recreate that look for a Halloween costume! Source If paper is your thing, but glitter and paper scraps stuck everywhere isn't your thing, try one of these paper doll costumes! A look back . . . Looking back to our blog from last October, we shared a lot of fun, creative Halloween ideas. If you missed them last year, be sure to check them out below. ![]() Need a little gift to give? Check out this stamped muslin bag with hand sanitizer idea. More details here. ![]() Want to make a cool Halloween bracelet? Grab a water bottle, some Halloween paper or washi tape and gel medium - yep, you can make a bracelet out these items! Click here for more details! ![]() There is still time to decorate your home for Halloween. Check out this cute trio of frames created to spell out BOO! More details here. So go scare up some creativity this Halloween, and we wish everyone a fun and safe holiday!

Thank you for all these inspirations! My parents decided to put up halloween design in our houses and I was tasked to search for some ideas. I went here on your website and did all the advices you gave above, and I had a party good result! Your designs were all perfect and I would love to see more themed-designs from you, especially that Christmas season is finally coming. One of the primary reasons why I would love to do it is the fact that it allows me to save more money! Don't you think that is a great idea?
