Newest Halloween Jewelry to Make

I've added to my collection of Halloween beaded jewelry projects list:

Poe Orange and Black Earrings
Fun bead earrings that I called Poe earrings because they go with my Halloween Egar Allen Poe raven t-shirt, that I love!

and my favorite from last year:

Candy Corn Wire Wrapped Bead Earrings
I love these lampwork beads, but now that I've added a wire wrapped piece they look even better.

You can find them all here.

Crafting: Napkin Rings

Easy napkin ring craft for your holiday occassions. These can be made easily and are a fun activity to do with kids! See how to do them here: Button Napkin Ring Craft.

Seriously, dress up your dinner table with these. Your child will be beaming and may even

start helping your set the table.

Beaded Cubed Jewelry You Can Make

I’m in a square kinda mood. Sharp edges seem to be defining what I’ve been doing this week and I have no idea why. Then again, do we always need a ‘why’ to what we are feeling. Maybe the why comes later? Maybe we have the mood and then we see why – when it helps or, lol, not.
Here are a few beaded cube projects you might enjoy doing in honor of any square type mood you may be in:

Cube It Beaded Earrings

Cube Bling Bead Earrings
