Let’s dive into the spooky fun and discover how to create your own Halloween masterpiece!

SKELETON COWBOY

A Skeleton Cowboy is a quirky and eye-catching Halloween decoration that combines the classic image of a cowboy with the eerie appeal of a skeleton. This creative combination can add a touch of humor and spookiness to your outdoor or indoor space.

SKELETON PIRATE

A Skeleton Pirate is a fun and spooky Halloween decoration that combines the classic image of a pirate with the eerie appeal of a skeleton. This creative combination can add a touch of adventure and mystery to your outdoor or indoor space.

ZOMBIE GRAVEYARD

Transform your Halloween setup into a spine-chilling Zombie Graveyard by shaping eerie figures from chicken wire and covering them in tattered clothes. Place severed zombie heads atop these ghoulish forms, making it look like they’re emerging from the ground. Add plastic tombstones and drape cobwebs to amplify the spooky atmosphere.

Haunted Hill Farm Freestanding Talking Lighted Animatronic

This eerie animatronic stands nearly 3 feet tall, featuring motion-activated swinging arms and head, along with glowing red LED eyes. Her haunted spirit makes her an ideal addition to that dark corner of your front porch, where she can give a chilling welcome to every visitor.

Moon Boat Bloody Garland Banner, 4-Pack

For horror enthusiasts and gore aficionados, this four-pack of garlands adorned with blood-soaked tools is the ultimate Halloween accessory. Hang them on your porch, drape them across your garage, or scatter them across your lawn to intensify the fright factor of your home.

Block-Printed Luminaria

A spine-chilling trio of jack-o’-lanterns makes a striking centerpiece for your party table. Each pumpkin features bold Halloween icons—witch, screeching cat, and outstretched bat—carved deeply and painted black to enhance their dramatic effect. The carved designs are ideal for block-printing on paper and fabric. We used the bat motif to create a haunting pattern on a pair of white gauze curtains. To complete the eerie atmosphere, luminaria decorated with owls, vultures, and wicked witches set the perfect tone for a spooky outdoor gathering.

Witch’s Cauldron

This Wicked Witch of the Feast conjures up a steaming cauldron using modern tricks. Start by collecting long, straight branches from your yard to suspend the cauldron. Cut the top off a large pumpkin with a serrated knife, hollow it out, and drill three evenly spaced holes about two inches below the rim. Arrange the branches in a teepee shape, securing them at the top with 20-gauge wire. Create an S hook by threading the wire through the pumpkin’s top and hide the wire with sisal rope for a polished look.

Spider Squash

These multi-legged creatures emerge from the damp earth and moss to scuttle over cold stones. Black-green squashes, like the ‘Table Ace’ acorn variety, are carved using a linoleum cutter that scrapes away only the outer layer of flesh.

Owl Pumpkins

The owls’ oversized eyes are crafted from halved miniature pumpkins and gourds, while their feet and ears are shaped from curved pieces of pumpkin.

Witch and Cat Lawn Ornaments

This sinister sorceress and her trio of menacing felines exude a dark humor, perfect for giving guests a chilling surprise as they arrive for your festivities.

Gourd Family

Kids will enjoy crafting their own family out of stacked pumpkins. Collect natural items for decoration and facial features—such as almonds, carrots, pear berries, pear leaves, pine cones, and oak leaves—to create eyes, ears, noses, mouths, and hair.

Spider Egg Sac

Add a creepy touch to your doorway with this globe-shaped incubator brimming with spiders. Create multiple sacs and hang them at different heights for an extra eerie effect.

Creepy Crates

Create a scene straight out of a horror film with this chilling tableau. It appears the animals from the witch’s latest shipment have escaped their crates and are now haunting these eerie green pumpkins.

Broom Garland Doorway

Create a menacing decoration for the witch’s front door using two wired brooms and a border of small broom heads made from raffia. Start by cutting raffia into 7-inch lengths, then gather and secure them into small bundles with masking tape to form broom shapes. For the garland base, cut three pieces of half-inch-thick sisal rope: two slightly longer than the door’s sides and one longer than the top. Attach a “broom” to the end of one long rope with 24-gauge brass wire, and, without cutting the wire, continue adding and overlapping brooms until you reach the end. Repeat this process with the other long rope.

Ravens in Waiting

Adorn your porch with a flock of ravens and crows perched on cardboard tube stands. Use our template to craft a hook-beaked bird, or design your own unique species.

The natural hair movement has significantly impacted the Black hair community, revolutionizing how Black women and girls embrace their natural textures. After years of relying on harsh treatments and chemicals to achieve straight and silky hair, many are now confidently showcasing their natural curls and kinks.

This movement has spurred the creation of numerous natural hair care brands and products designed to cater to various hair types and textures. With over 25.7 million posts under #naturalhair and more than 400,000 under #naturalhairproducts on Instagram, it’s clear that this trend is here to stay.

Whether you prefer store-bought natural hair products or enjoy crafting your own blend from natural ingredients, styling your natural hair is no longer a challenge. Unlike relaxed hair, which often limits styling options due to its straight nature, natural hair offers incredible versatility.

TWIST OUTS ON NATURAL HAIR

To achieve a twist out, start by washing your hair with shampoo and deep conditioning it. Apply shea butter or curling butter, along with any other preferred products. Next, section your hair and twist it using either the two-strand or three-strand twist method.

Leave the twists in overnight and unravel them the next day. The result is a beautiful twist out that varies based on your hair texture and the products used.

For the best results, let your twists set for a longer period, and use curling butters that are suitable for your hair type to enhance the outcome.

SILK PRESS ON NATURAL HAIR

A silk press is a technique for achieving sleek, straight hair using heat. To avoid damaging your natural hair, it’s essential to use a heat protectant serum and other protective products.

This method lets you enjoy the look of straightened hair without the need for chemical relaxers. However, it’s important to limit the frequency of silk presses throughout the year. Excessive heat can lead to significant damage, so be mindful of not overusing this styling technique.

Space buns are a quick and easy hairstyle that offers versatile styling options. To create them, simply section your hair into parts and secure each section into buns on either side of your head. For longer or fuller hair, you can divide it into three sections for the buns. You can use bobby pins or colorful hair pins to style and secure your hair, especially to tame any shorter or stubborn pieces.

If you’re short on time or having a laid-back natural hair day, a puff is a quick and easy option. Start by combing your hair and applying leave-in conditioner, then use gel to smooth it down.

Wrap a scarf around your head for a few minutes to help achieve a sleek finish. Finish the look by laying your edges with your favorite edge control, and either gather your hair into a single puff on top or create two puffs on each side.

AFRO HAIRSTYLES FOR NATURAL HAIR

Few things are as stunning as a big, voluminous afro in its natural state. This hairstyle is simple to achieve, no matter your hair type or texture. Just moisturize your hair and use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to add volume and fluff it up.

Remember, a bigger afro often looks even more striking. If you’re just starting your natural hair journey and have a teeny weeny afro (TWA), don’t worry—these small afros are equally beautiful.
