Beading Works - 5 Simple And Also Exciting Halloween Designs

Halloween is fast becoming the most popular holiday in the country, currently second only to Christmas, and the holiday really outranks Christmas as for money spent on decorations, food, and drink (the reigning 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 in the next October 31, then keep reading and we'll outline five fun Halloween beading projects you can try! Or, if you're going down the path of selling the fruits of your bead craft work, you will find a large and waiting market for the designs you create!

1 - Jack o'Lanterns - The standard, beadwork style! You can utilize seed beads of several tints of oranges and yellows (on a black setting if you're looking to make something larger), to hang on the mantle or as a dressing to the porch railing. Involve the kids by having them plan out the faces!

2 - Black Cats - A basic cat silhouette can be the basis for a pattern (all black seed beads, or black coupled with a smattering of silver for amazing effect), with the option of utilizing larger beads for the eyes. These can be kept fairly simple or can become a dramatically more complex beading project, but even the simplest designs can make quite a dramatic statement!

3 - Witches - You could do a simple bust pattern or a complete figure representation of a witch on a broomstick, depending on your overall skill level. These are enjoyable to make, and make excellent decor, but tend to be more involved as compared to either of the projects mentioned earlier.

4 - Dangling Skeletons - Undoubtedly the most complex of the projects mentioned here, these can be created of any size you wish, but certainly smaller is better from a "time to complete" perspective. If you don't like to worry over designing an actual skeletal design, you can weave a skeletal form onto a black background, like, the size of a square drink coaster and still have an attractive piece to decorate with!

5 - Candy Corns - These aren't spooky, but certainly suit the season, and are most fun when crafted as 3-dimensional shapes. I would not encourage going much over two inches high, or they'll take excessively long to finish, but because of their relatively simple design, this is another work that's wonderful to involve the kids in!

As you can see on the basis of the five ideas given above, there are all forms of interesting holiday beading projects you can sink your teeth into, and this list just barely scratches the surface of the beading projects out there, so whether you intend to use them to decorate your own house, or sell what you make, it's time to get making!
