5 DIY Halloween Ideas
Here is an easy way to bring the spooky season to your house without dealing with actual spiders–embroidery hoop spider webs! These spiderwebs give off a cute yet still slightly scary vibe, especially once you add the spiders. Feel free to swing by Ignite and check out our embroidery kit where you can find string, just make sure you bring your own hoops–and spiders!

Add these eyes to your trees, and bushes, or hide them under your porch furniture. This glowing eyes craft is easily made with old toilet paper rolls, scissors, and glow sticks! If you want a more intricate design you can use an X-acto knife, which we have in a labeled drawer in our clean-up area.

Here’s a craft that you can really get creative with: skeletons in your windows. For this, you just need adhesive back vinyl, transfer paper, and a way to cut your vinyl. Here at Ignite, we have a vinyl cutter that you can get certified on, or you can use either of our Cricut machines. Just come up to the desk and let us know you want to check them out!
Here is our Fab Lab page where you can find the certification course for the vinyl cutter and here is our youtube tutorial for the Cricut machines.
