Beading Works - 5 Practical As Well As Interesting Halloween Season Creations

Halloween is fast becoming the most popular holiday in the country, presently second only to Christmas, and the holiday in fact outranks Christmas as for money spent on decorations, food, and drink (the leading champion of holiday party spending is, and possibly always will be, New Year's, but Halloween is a solid second!). So if you're looking for interesting 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 project, you will find a large and waiting market for the designs you produce!

1 - Jack o'Lanterns - The traditional, beadwork style! You can utilize seed beads of several tints 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 basic cat silhouette can be the basis for a layout (all black seed beads, or black combined with a smattering of silver for amazing effect), with the option of utilizing 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 complete figure representation of a witch on a broomstick, subject to your overall skill level. These are entertainment to make, and make excellent decor, but tend to be more involved as compared to either of the projects above.

4 - Dangling Skeletons - Obviously the most complex of the projects pointed out here, these can be designed of any size you wish, but certainly smaller is better from a "time to complete" standpoint. If you don't like to worry over designing an actual skeletal design, you can weave a skeletal form 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 match the season, and are most fun when created as 3-dimensional shapes. I would not suggest going much over two inches high, or they'll take excessively long to complete, but due to their relatively simple structure, this is another task that's wonderful to involve the children in!

As you can see as outlined in the five ideas given above, there are all forms 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 intend to use them to embellish your own house, or sell what you make, it's time to get making!
