Halloween is a well-known celebration enjoyed by people of all ages. The fun and spooky season serves as a time where many show off their craft skills when decorating treats or creating their costumes. And while trick-or-treating and costume parties are common traditions during this time of the year, not all like the idea of it and choose to stay indoors.
There are several ways to enjoy the day while being in the comfort of your own home: baking, crafting, or watching a horror movie. If you are someone who will be cooped up at home this Halloween, the following ideas might be perfect for you.
Bracelet Making
Materials:
- Clay Beads (or any other material you prefer)
- String
- Scissors
- Tape
Directions:
- Measure and cut a long piece of string. (Add 2-3 inches to wrist length for room to tie.)
- Tape one end of the string to a flat surface so that the beads do not fall or break.
- Choose your colors. (Red, orange, yellow, and black are great colors for Halloween.)
- Slide beads onto string.
- Tie the bracelet in a crossover motion at least 3 times. (The more times you tie it, the sturdier it will be.)
Halloween Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups Flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- ½ tbsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Baking powder

Happy crafting and baking!
