It may be only three days until Halloween, but it's not too late to get into the spooky spirit with seasonal projects courtesy of Maura Madden, whose guide to a year of crafting sessions, Crafternoon, offers these easy ideas for Halloween:
Make your own costume at Madden's open-to-the-public Crafternoon in NYC, guests were putting the finishing touches on classic looks like Wonder Woman alongside more modern disguises; one creative type planned to turn herself into Google Maps by attaching fold-out maps to a skirt and top.
Go old school. Orange, white, and black construction paper, stickers shaped like ghosts and witches, and a handful of markers make it easy to wish friends near and far a happy Halloween with personalized cards.
Borrow from other cultures. Mold non-toxic clay into small skeleton skulls to honor Day of the Dead celebrations, and then decorate with paint, markers, or paper.
