Fall party? Check out these craft & decorating ideas for all ages

Pumpkin stress balls

Take orange balloons and fill them with rice. Draw your favorite Jack-o-lantern face using Sharpies. Perfect for kiddos or adults (when the planning gets rough).

Spunky candles

Mix melted candle wax with the shavings of your favorite crayons to create a mixture. Dip regular taper candles half-way and allow to dry for an added ghostly glow.

‘Dead’ plant creations

Assemble a pot of your favorite artificial plants and flowers, then paint/spray-paint them black for a decoration that is ghoul-like and festive.

Create a one-of-a-kind centerpiece

This one has a shelf-life, but it’s worth it for a Fall or Halloween party/dinner. Take a mini or small-medium sized pumpkin and carve a hole that is deep enough to allow for scooping. Empty the contents and place a plastic water bottle (cut to size) in the hole. Fill this with water to act as a vase, then fill with a bustling arrangement of flowers and seasonal plants. For an added ‘ooh la la’ element, paint the pumpkin first with metallic or glitter paint to make an eye-popping décor item.

Head to Michael’s in Oswego to find all the supplies you’ll need (and more) to make these fabulous creations. Don’t forget to stop at Keller’s Farmstand first to grab your prized pumpkin.
