I’m planning on making a shadow box for the first time, now that I’m getting a bit more experienced cutting cardstock.
My wish would be for an iCraft. I absolutely love my Crafter, but it’s more limited in function and capability than the iCraft. Fingers Xd!

My Halloween DIY project is two lanterns that I covered with vinyl foil and a pillow with heat transfer foil, some parts of the motif also glow in dark.

A small addendum for the sake of completeness: I bought the motifs on Etsy, the idea/design of sticking it on a lantern and ironing it on a pillow is mine.

Thank you very much for the lovely compliments. As already changed in the post, I bought the motifs on Etsy, but the idea for designing the lantern and the cushion is mine. So it’s not all my credit. :face_with_peeking_eye::hugs:

+1 I love my Crafter, I’m only squeezing it until the happy day the dream of upgrading to the iCraft comes true.

And I’m also planning on making a shadow box for the first time, but I want it to be a lamp. Although I’ve made many crazy lamps, tulips and candle lamps playing with the shadows. Now I mean a, actual layered shadow lamp with the help of my dear Crafter.

My Halloween plan is to make a few spooky tumblers and shirts. I will also be handing out candy and watching some Halloween movies.

I also wish that Hallowe’en was celebrated the same in UK as you seem to celebrate it in USA. It seems to be a joyous family affair, with huge effort to make the occasion fun for the littlies. :ghost:
Here, in Britain, we get 14 yr old oiks whose only attempt at a costume is to put the hood of their hoodie up, thinking this entitles them to knock on my door and ask for money, not treats! Erm, no thanks. :rage:

Yes, same thing in Spain, but I guess it is because it is only a commercial imported holiday, which is totally different from our real original cultural holiday of the day of the dead, where you remember and honour your beloved gone… halloween only means disguise party and children knocking on homes that don’t celebrate it and have no treats waiting, anyway.

Yes, I love going all out for Halloween, remembering my Halloweens in the USA. A few years back in the town that I lived at the time, it was not celebrated at all. I was very devasted until one year I put the feelers out on Facebook and organized a Halloween trick or treating event. It was a great success and only the houses that preregistered got trick or treaters. So, everyone that wanted to be involved was and the ones that didn’t care didn’t get disturbed.

Unfortunately, everywhere trick or treat as gone the way of entitlement and kids don’t even try with their costumes and have no manners. I don’t give those kids any candy. I tell try harder next year.

It’s so sad. When we used to take our daughters around when they were young, one year there would be hardly anyone answering their doors and they’d be so disappointed, then the next year we’d wished the girls’ buckets were bigger! :man_shrugging:

The FB group was a great idea. I’d thought it was so big in USA that every community was the same.
You’re right though; no effort = no treat!
