Reusing and recycling at Halloween
It’s Halloween this weekend and the crafting world has been a’flutter with costumes and decorating ideas for the last few weeks – some reusing or recycling stuff from around the home.
- Make a trick-or-treat swag bag out of an old tshirt/vest top
- Make a ghost lantern from an old plastic bottle and a sheet
- Make an owl costume out of old clothes/fabric straps
- Other recycling/reusing Halloween ideas
Don’t forget that while “carving pumpkins” aren’t that tasty for us to eat, chickens (and compost heaps!) still love them — just make sure you remove any dripped wax etc first.
Last year I used a bunch of those glow in the dark spider webs up by spinning them with yarn scraps. I then knit a shawl with it as part of a trashion show outfit. worked like a charm!
