This fun Halloween-themed craft idea is brought to you by Minted, but all thoughts are my own.
You probably know Minted.com for their stunning and unique holiday cards, but did you know that they have a blog featuring all sorts of crafts and projects, too? Julep, the official blog of Minted (get it? mint julep?), is full of fun projects and crafts, from crafts to do with kids to wedding favors to decor for your home.
And although it may be time to start making plans for this year’s Christmas cards (I have absolutely no idea what we’re doing, by the way), I’d rather continue enjoying the Halloween pumpkins and witches and monsters for at least a few more days.
Take these Monster Favor Boxes as an example. Are they not adorable? I can picture my kids going absolutely crazy over putting the mouths and pointy-sharp teeth and pom-pom hair onto their boxes. Wouldn’t they be perfect for party favors, gifts for friends or teachers, or just cute Halloween decorations?
I’m actually dying because I discovered that Minted also has party supplies – how cute is the Monsters Allowed party theme, complete with centerpieces, banners, garland and invitations.
I also found an adorable paper strip pumpkin and the easy Halloween washi tape candles. Each of the projects has step-by-step instructions with gorgeous photos.
But these ideas REALLY take the cake…
I love how they’ve paired the perfect crafty project with creative Halloween party invitations from Minted. It may be past time for sending out Halloween party invites, but it’s NEVER too late to make Wizard of Oz-themed Wicked Witch cupcakes. Am I right?
PS – there are tons of other cute card-and-treat ideas on the Halloween party post as well as DIY projects and crafts for every season and celebration.
It’s time to think about Holiday Cards!
Have you thought about your holiday cards yet this year? What’s your holiday card style? Do you take a new family picture each year and order a colorful photo-based card to send to family and friends? Those are the cards I prefer to send out AND receive…but I often run out of inspiration (and time). I love that Minted.com has thousands of talented designers that do the design work for me and all I have to do is upload my picture, add my message and click order.
If you place your order before Tuesday 10/29, there’s a great promo code on the site for 10% off your order. You can even start your order now, get the discount, and add your photo later.
What are you waiting for?
