DIY: Halloween Gourd Ornaments

Cheri Cottrell is a watercolor illustrator who lives on the coast of Maine. I stumbled across her blog where she shares her art and wonderful tutorials. She created this tutorial that teaches how to make halloween gourds. And they are beautiful! You will find a list of things on her blog that you'll need to collect before getting started. The instructions are clear and come with step by step pictures that are so helpful.  

This is a fun project to make this halloween. These gourds will be perfect to hang with decorations, candle or treats. This link will take to a page where you will find tutorials on how to dry a gourd, clean  and paint a gourd.

Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds, Sara of Sara Belle’s Bakery created these bird shaped sugar cookies that are perfect for Halloween fêtes this season. You can find the step by step instructions by Sara on Camille Styles on how to make and decorate the cookies into creepy bird cookies. These sophisticated treat designs will be a great hit at chic Halloween celebrations.
