"While I am not much for Halloween, this is making me change my mind. My grand kids will love it. First of all its very inexpensive. Then it's very easy to make. And lastly it's gorgeously scary. I think it's a perfect project for me. Thank you for posting this great Halloween project that I can share with the kids."

"I might be blind, but I can't see any instructions for this project. On her page are a couple of pictures, a few of the materials used and some comments from readers. I was curious as to how she made the leaves, but it's simple enough that I can probably figure it out on my own."

"So... tin cans, cattails, feathers and pumpkins. Who would have thought anyone could make those things look that good? They look like they're part of an expensive designer presentation. That's awesome. Mine will probably look like tin cans, cattails, feathers and pumpkins, but I think I am going to try it anyway."

"When I saw "origami" I thought this would be beyond me, but it's not! This is another project the grandkids can do, too, that will make cool Thanksgiving decorations. I'm not sure about the sticky felt, but surely a good glue stick or even a hot glue gun would hold it together."

"These little knitted hats are really cute. Where I live it is tradition to bring wine as a gift when invited somewhere. What a great idea to make these festive little bottle toppers when the invitation occurs during the holidays. It would be a new way to present a bottle and surely add smiles to the faces of the recipients."

Shell Treasure Box

Shell Treasure Box

"Use your collection of shells and nautical napkins to create this Shell Treasure box- for holding MORE beach finds, of course! You can complete the project in an afternoon using craft paint, shells, napkins, glue, and wood beads. It's a perfect beginner craft and can be made with dollar-store items and found objects- so this nets out to under $5 and won't break the bank. The finished box makes a lovely gift, can hold potpourri, or trinkets on your nightstand."
