🎃 Halloween Crafts 💀

I always love decorating my home for the occasion & try to reuse decorations for years to come, the mission is to have a full haunted house by my old age 😅

This year I’ve added some natural creations to the collection not excuted particularly well 😂 but you get the idea & had great fun making them ♥️

A leaf garland 🍁- made with leaves from outside coated in a PVA & water mix left to dry & then hung on strings

Pumpkin Acorns 🪾 - as we’ve had a mast year there’s an abundance of the things, so I’ve taken a handful painted orange, added some glitter & spooky pumpkin faces. (If I did this again, I’d use ones with caps as the stems)

Ghostly Oak Leaves 🍂 - I tried oak leaves but lots of different kinds could be used in different ways, like Sycamore bats! I painted them white & added little ghost faces, I think this was my fav!

Have you tried any new crafts this year? Comment & share any of your ideas ♥️

Found myself a little birch polypore, which I’ve sliced, dried & blitzed into a fine powder! Just a small amount to start this years batch! I can sprinkle this into anything really 🍄

With wide range of health benefits it was even discovered on Ötzi the Iceman over 5000 years ago

🍄‍🟫Support digestion: it helps calm the gut and can reduce parasites and harmful bacteria
🍄Aids you immune system: encouraging the body to respond more effectively to illness
🍄‍🟫Soothe inflammation: helpful for things like mild joint aches or irritation in the body

I’m also starting my intensive driving course this week, once done I’ll be able to get myself further afield 🤞

Finally filtered my Greater Plantain oil 🌿 after 2 years, basically liquid magic now 🥰

One of the miracle plants we have in abundance & considered a w**d. Historically it’s been used to soothe bits, stings & scrapes! & it’s already working its magic for my mosquito bites 🦟
