William Morris Crafts; Halloween

26th October 2019

As spooky season descends, we’re more the types to prefer treats over tricks. We’re talking trick or treat sized chocolate bags, pumpkin carving and maybe even some ‘spooky’ cookie decorating. Plus, our Halloween William Morris crafts.

We made these a few years ago and bring them out every year!

Using our William Morris Compton fabric, we simply covered a pumpkin cardboard structure from Hollycraft. It’s really simple and fun to do, but we think it turned out really effective! It’s perfect to decorate the house, lasts longer than a regular pumpkin and is a little more stylish don’t you think?

Decorating around the holidays – any holiday, be it Easter, Christmas or Halloween, is so much fun. It really breaks up the ‘normal’ day to day decor of the home.

It’s an easy project – you just need:

We used bias binding because it’s easy to work with for a project this size and saves you from cutting lots of pieces from a metre piece, though you can do that if you’d prefer, we’d say around half a metre would work brilliantly.

There’s lots of other William Morris fabrics we could have chosen within our collection, so take a look at what would work best for you. We also chose Compton because it’s such a great fabric for Autumn, the tones within it are so beautiful. The orange within the design are really set off when the battery lit candles flicker within the pumpkin!

 

If you create one of our pumpkins, please let us know by tagging us on social media or emailing us at [email protected]

A really simple napkin fold for your Easter table! 🐣 We used a napkin ring but you could use ribbon or twine, whatever you’ve got! 🐰
Just fold the napkin into a triangle and roll up from the point until you can fold it in half to make the ears 🐇 You could put a little creme egg in there as an extra treat 🤎

The start of the Easter tablescapes this weekend 🐣 We cant resist a little rabbit napkin, so easy and so effective we can post a reel on how to do the napkin fold! 🐰 This is our pvc fabric in William Morris Brother Rabbit red which is perfect for on the table as it simply wipes clean so isn’t an issue for any spills 🧼 
We know that seasonal tablescapes whilst looking amazing can often seem really expensive on Instagram so we wanted to prove that with a simple napkin fold and a few little inexpensive decor bits it can be wonderfully seasonal yet affordable and used every year - the carrots are from @poundland and the cute little sheep are from @sainsburys 🐑

We’re excited to announce our new range of fabrics, perfect for quilting 🪡 they are all from our exclusive French archive which dates from the late 1800s-early 1900s ⚜️ With a new range we were chatting about what to name each design, so as a female founded and run business, we decided to name them after some important women in our lives 🤍 We’re digitally printing this fabric so it’s amazing quality, but there’s limited stock of each design so let us know which designs you love ☺️

Born on this day in 1834, William Morris was an incredible talent. His designs are as timeless and popular today as ever, so long after they were designed 🎨 He also was a poet, writer and socialist activist who was involved in the arts and crafts movement and worked hard to keep traditional British textiles, he opened his own mill, Merton Abbey Mills 🌿 there’s so many interesting aspects of his life that he seemed to live many lives at once, when you’re that talented it must be hard to pick just one passion! 🌿 Happy Birthday William, thank you for all the stunning designs we print here in the UK just as he was passionate about all those years ago! 🇬🇧
