We know it’s still a month to go until Halloween but who doesn’t love a Halloween craft! We wanted to give you the craft idea in time for you to get the materials and find time to craft! We’re not for a spooky Halloween particularly, however, we are a fan of fun crafts and also of delicious treats such as the ghosts from Betty’s featured on our pictures.
Our cute little pumpkin we crafted using our William Morris Compton 100% cotton fabric. Now, we could have chosen quite a few different fabrics, we think in particular Brother Rabbit Red, Eyebright and Strawberry Thief would also look fabulous. But Compton is so great in the Autumn in particular that we went for that design. Take a look through our entire collection to see the fabrics you could pick from!
So, it’s a simple craft, but here’s how we made it. (We did make this a few years ago, but since it’s fabric and cardboard, it can be brought out each year in a sustainable craft!)
It’s quite simple this one – all you need to do is paint some PVA onto the pumpkin and then stick on the bias. We cut the bias into little 1 inch squares and then stick them on. Cutting them up gives a little more flexibility with working with the fabric.
We liked to layer the bias over each other so that there’s no gaps and a little texture.
And that’s it – it’s that simple! Wait for it to dry and pop in your battery operated tea lights and you’re good to go!
You don’t have to do this with a pumpkin – you could get yourself a cardboard outline of a ghost, witch, monster and more. Then just do the same process.
If you make this Halloween craft – let us know. You can always tag us on social media or why not send us an email! If you send us photos of crafts using our fabric, we’ll send you a 20% discount code off our website for your next order. We might feature your images and project on our blog and socials!
Send your emails to – [email protected] – we can’t wait for your email!

Still dreaming of last summer with my wedding bouquet and our “Jean” design we had for our napkins 🫶🏻 It’s an original Laura’s Beau design out our archive and named after my lovely Nanny, we have it in blue and this sage green, but we’re always dreaming of new colour ways to print it in 💭 What colour do you think would look good? ✨

Has anyone got any January crafts? ❄️ After we’ve settled in our new office, we’re planning some cosy January crafts whilst we hibernate a little! 🌨️ This board is a beautiful way to display photos and notes that was covered in a fabric we no longer loved so last year I recovered it with something we did like - a range of our exclusive quilting fabrics and now it hangs proudly on the wall, showing you can upcycle things to be something you really love 🫶🏻
