I made a shit ton of crafts. And by "I" I mean all my friends. Because I have friends! This post is best for a big ol' crafting party. Which is our favorite. Or do your favorite crafts alone in your apartment, who am I to judge.

Because there are so many crafts, this post is somewhat of a shit show. My apologies. Also, not all of these crafts need directions but I'm really proud of these so please just give me that. It doesn't happen often.

Let's "fall" into crafts! HAHAHA.

Part I - Paper Ghosts!

I’m actually going to explain how to make these, despite it being incredibly easy.

1.) Just crumple up some paper, tie a pipe cleaner around it, draw a face in and boom, ho-my-god-i-am-so-scared.

2.) You can make these with lollipops, too. Just turn the wrapper inside out so that it’s white, tie it in a ghost form around the stick, make a face and bam, mini scary delicious ghouls.

I’m only going to show you one picture of this because it’s way easy to make and come on, you can figure it out.

Part II - Poor Man’s Cardboard Graves!

1.) So, get some cardboard and spray paint it, write something clever, cut it out and put it in your yard.

Part III - Put That In Your Pipe And Smoke It.

1.) Fall Pipe Cleaner Crafts? You bet your ass we've got pipe cleaner fall crafts:

Honestly, this is kind of terrifying in it's own way.

2.) Take those pipe cleaners, add some good old-fashioned imagination/people to copy/booze and you get:

Part IV - Popsicle Stick Crafts!

1.) Just, ya know, take some popsicle sticks, glue, paint, pipe cleaners, clay, booze and imagination and have a go at it! But don’t expect a girl-scout badge.

Part V - The Main Mother Fucking Decorative Gourd Event

1.) Use whatever you want on your gourds! And since I already listed everything you need way up in the beginning (a few times, actually), I’m not going to do it again. Enjoy getting inspiration/copying/boozing!

Part – That Sweet Sweet "Inspiration"

AKA Drinky Drinky time.

Harvest Highball

1 1/2 oz rye whiskey

1 oz ginger liqueur (GINGER!)

Apple cider

Cinnamon to garnish

In a cocktail shaker, shake the rye and ginger liqueur (GINGER!) together with ice. Strain into a glass with ice in it. Fill the glass with apple cider and sprinkle fresh cinnamon on top. Bonus if you put googly eyes on your glass.

No google eyes, but check out those sweet gourds in the background.

Well, I have a rule that once background gourds enter a blog, it’s time to wrap it up. I hope you enjoyed this week’s Crafty Hour and it brings you hours of friendship happiness.
