We know that Halloween is still more than two weeks away, but we can't wait any longer to start preparing. That's why for today's Craft Of The Day, we're giving you one of the many awesome Halloween DIY ideas we've come across. These glitter "trick-or-treat" pillows from Chapman Place are the perfect way to let everyone who passes your house know that you're ready for Halloween, too. Take a look:
We love how festive and pretty these pillows are. Put them on a porch swing or chair in the front of your home to show your holiday spirit. You could also experiment with different patterns and colors, but we personally love the classic orange and black. For the full tutorial, head over to Chapman Place.
