http://www.talonsetbonbons.com/2015/10/diy-how-to-use-pom-pom.html#.VjNGISsqpyE
Super simple idea for a Halloween costume

Tutorial at Talons et Bonbons Blog

"The pom pom headband is an original solution when you wake up on the 31st of October with nothing to wear. Start from the pom pom using wool in different color and then make a pom pom garland by tying them to a twine. Style your hair with a low chignon and tie the garland around your head like if it was a headband. Wear a feminine flared dress and you (and your pom pom costume) are ready for the party"....

Fun costume for a Batman fan

Tutorial at Mary Martha Mama Blog

"My sister gave each boy a Batman mask and Batarang set which of course we decided to use for the costume.  As far as the body suit initially I thought I would buy a sweatshirt and pants and modify them like some tutorials I had seen on Pinterest but when I finally found them in Walmart they were more expensive than I had thought they would be.  For my son’s size they would have been over $11.  So I re-calibrated and decided to make the suit out of fleece.  I got all of my fabrics at Joanne’s.  Here’s what I used"....

Tutorial - Make a Decorative Wire Spiderweb

Easy to make with craft supplies you have on hand

Tutorial at The Seaman Mom Blog

"If you’re decorating for Halloween or just like to add some arachnid-inspired decor to your home, make this wire spider web, a fairly easy project that doesn’t require much skill. Just as a spider weaves its silk, you will use wire to design your spiderweb. You can use a circle design or a triangular as I did, if you like to get more creative. When it’s’ done, hang your webs from the ceiling or on your front door instead of a wreath or just display it on a shelf. I hooked mine to a door for photography purposes but I find this design works really well outdoors, if you plan an outdoor party, on antique looking furniture or doors".... Read more
