Many people who are particularly religious do not often celebrate Halloween because they think the holiday is condoning Satanic worship, but for those who do participate in Halloween, there are some great religious Halloween crafts that you can make to spread the word of God and still have a good time along with everyone else. There are a lot of religious Halloween crafts that you can make to celebrate the holiday and still stay true to your convictions and beliefs.
One of the great religious Halloween crafts that we've found entails the doling out of candy for trick or treaters. Take some heavy card stock paper available in most department stores and draw the shape of a candy corn. Color the very tip white, the middle part yellow and the bottom part orange. You can use crayons or markers, whichever you prefer.
At the bottom part of the candy corn, write the following phrase: "You picked a sweet treat from my bowl, now here's a sweet treat for your soul!" Cut the candy corn out and write various bible verses on the back. Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of the candy corn and tie it with any type of string to your chosen treats. Religious Halloween crafts like these get the whole family involved and are great projects to start well before the holiday comes!
Another one of the cute religious Halloween crafts that we found is easy to make and can also involve the kids! To start out with, you will need a round lollipop such as a Tootsie Pop. Then for each lollipop, you need a 4-5" square of burlap, a rubber band, a 2-3" round piece of green felt, orange and black yarn, and some glue. Wrap the burlap around the lollipop and secure it at the bottom with the rubber band to make a "neck". Glue the green felt to the top to make a hat. Draw eyes, a nose, and a smiling mouth to the face of your scarecrow.
After that, write bible verses on strips of paper such as Psalm 118:6 - The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid or Psalm 32:7 - You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble. Punch a hole in the paper and attach to the scarecrow with the yarn.
The best part about making religious Halloween crafts is that you can spread the word of the Lord and do so in a fun way. Use your imagination to come up with your own religious Halloween crafts, too. There's a lot you can do to celebrate Halloween without forsaking your religion!
Halloween is a great time for decorating, so you will want to make some great craft items to decorate your home, and some of the skeleton crafts we have to offer you will add that extra special touch to your Halloween decor. Skeleton crafts are easy to make and can range from complicated to very easy. Since making Halloween crafts should ideally be a family activity, we'll give you a couple of ideas for skeleton crafts that the whole family can enjoy!
One of the easiest and most creative skeleton crafts you can make can be done by even the smallest of family members who have the dexterity to handle glue. What you will need to begin with for these skeleton craft pages is black construction paper and various types of dry noodles (elbow macaroni, shell macaroni, spaghetti, and spiral noodles). You may also want to include some lima beans in this project for the skeleton's head, hips, and thorax.
Then, just use some craft glue and form a skeleton from the various supplies. For example, the ribs are best made out of elbow macaroni. The lima beans make great heads. The spiral noodles work well as arms and legs. Creativity is the key, and it might be a good idea for you to make one of your own before setting the kids out on their own. All they need to do is glue the macaroni to the paper and make the shape of a skeleton.
For more complicated skeleton crafts, there's nothing more beautiful than skeleton luminaries lighting the path to your front door on trick or treat night. These are made from simple brown paper lunch bags along with a few other supplies. Those supplies include Styrofoam trays that you can get from your local meat department at the grocery store, a craft stick, some black paint, sand, and candles in glass containers.
You begin by making a skeleton design in the Styrofoam tray with the craft stick or even an X-Acto knife. Once you have your skeleton cut out, roll it with the black paint and press down on the inside of the lunch bag. Press hard and make sure you have complete coverage. Fill the bottom of the bag with sand and place the candle in the glass container inside the sand. Light the candle and see how pretty it looks but scary at the same time!
Making skeleton crafts is fun and very much in keeping with the Halloween season! Have fun and use your imagination see what you can come up with on your own and make skeleton crafts that you can hand down for generations!
