Fall is pie. It just is. We wait all summer to get at some and so why not wear your pie love on your chest next to your heart. Let the world know your true love by making a necklace. This crafty project is inspired by the pie social happening this weekend in Phoenix that is sponsored by Chow Bella.

I found a great Halloween tee-shirt at a thrift store and I turned it into a bag for trick-or-treating.
Here is how to make one:
1. Find a size large t-shirt at a thrift shop. Cut off the arms and neck but leave a small amount that will act as the handles.
2. Flip it inside out and sew along the bottom, closing it off the create the bag shape.
3. Turn it right side out and now it is time to decorate.
4. I cut a spider out of black broad cloth on the Cricut and ironed it on using Wonder Under Fusible Web. I attached yellow felt, green foam and googly eyes for the eye area.
5. I then attached black and white safety pins, a black shoelace for the spiders string, black and white ribbon and then used a rubber stamp “boo” along the bottom edge.
Make yourself a DIY trick-or-treat bag.
I covered my dining room chairs for Halloween. This project requires a sewing machine and a YUDU screen printer. I created the bats by cutting them out using my Cricut and Happy Hauntings Cartridge. Then I created them in YUDU screens and printed them with black ink onto white canvas. I then cut the canvas into a circular moon shape. For the black cover I used black broad cloth and fit it to loosely cover the chairs and then sewed them up on three sides. I then sewed the printed moon onto the black cover. I finished it off by tying a long strip of black broad cloth around the bottom of the black covering. I made four of these in a day – go for it, you can too!
Working with the Cuttlebug Embossing folders and Scupley is such an easy combination. You don’t have to run the Sculpey through the Cuttlebug machine you just press it into the folder by hand – it make a clean impression and is easy to clean up.
