  4. This seems like a fun project to do with kids during the summer! Thanks for the chance to win!

  7. I love thier collage sheets – the only problem is that I tend to hoard them instead of using them 😉

  11. Want to learn how to make these so this would be a wonderful way to get started. And I don’t have to explain why I have another charge to my credit card.

    Ha!

  12. I am a single mom so money is extra tight for us. I started selling my jewelry creations about 2 years ago and recently took a leap of faith and invested most of my small savings into building my website.
    This give away project is just what would inspire my daughter to start her own side business. She is paying her way through college and this would be a wonderful cash making project for her! It could also benefit her favorite charity “Children’s Hospital at the University of Kentucky” through some extra donations from her proceeds. I have instilled in her that even though it is tight for us some people have it worse. I always donate 25% of my proceeds as will she.
    Thanks for the chance!

  15. Thanks so much for this opportunity and wonderful prize. Crossing my fingers in hopes that I might win lol

  18. These would be an awesome model of inspiration for the older children in our OSCAR programme as well as a beautiful heirloom for my daughter.
    Thanks for the chance

  25. I am just learning to do jewelry and would love to add these to my meager bead collection. Thanks for letting me enter!

  26. Lovely pendant. I would love to make them myself.Wonderful idea to give away the material to make one.

    PS – Just saw one of your beautiful necklaces when I was in San Jose. Gorgeous!

  34. Thanks so much for this opportunity! I think crafting is in my genes as I eat, sleep, and drink it, so I’d loooove a chance to make something that the supplies for are hard to find where I live!

  36. This looks like a lot of nice potential to me! I can think of so many great projects. Thanks for the contes

  37. Would love this stuff!!! I love making jewelry and anything with resin! Hope to win!

  38. I am 15 yrs old and love all kinds of arts and crafts and want to go into fashion design when I graduate school. I was looking at different sites when I came across yours and was interested from the very beginning. Anyway, my mom gave be a bottlecap necklace this year as a gift and I thought they were so cool that i decided to see how to make them and look at different styles. Thanks so much for your site and the ideas and also the chance to win. I know everyone appreciates it.

Beaded Halloween Skeleton Craft – A Spooky-Cute Bead Project For Halloween Decorating

If you like your Halloween crafts with a little bit of spooky charm and a whole lot of handmade personality, this Beaded Halloween Skeleton from CraftBits is a fun little project to add to your October crafting list.

This project uses simple supplies — white seed beads, black seed beads, 24-gauge wire or beading thread, scissors, and wire cutters — to create a small beaded skeleton that can be used for Halloween decorations, charms, party favors, or even spooky handmade jewelry. The original tutorial walks you through building the skeleton row by row, starting with a black bead at the top and working through the skull, body, arms, hands, legs, and feet.

What I like about this project is that it has that lovely “old-school craft book” feel. It is not overly complicated, but it does ask you to slow down and follow the bead pattern carefully. This is the sort of Halloween bead craft that is perfect for a quiet afternoon when you want something seasonal but not messy. No glue gun strings across the table, no glitter stuck to the dog, just beads, wire, and a little bit of patience.

The finished skeleton would be cute added to a Halloween keyring, made into a zipper pull, tied onto a treat bag, or hung from a mini Halloween tree. You could also make a batch of them for party decorations or classroom craft swaps. If you enjoy tiny seasonal makes, you might also like browsing the Halloween Crafts section on CraftBits for more spooky little projects to pair with it.

This is a good project for confident beginners who have used seed beads before. Younger crafters may need help with the wire ends and keeping the rows tight, but older kids, teens, and adults who enjoy bead crafts should find it very satisfying. I would suggest using a bead mat or a shallow tray, because seed beads have a special talent for rolling into the one place you cannot reach. Ask me how I know.

For supplies, small packs of black and white seed beads are easy to find, and Amazon is handy for basic beading wire, bead mats, and small jewelry pliers if you are building up a Halloween craft kit. If you prefer more unusual beads or want tiny skull charms to add alongside your skeleton, Etsy can also be a fun place to look for Halloween beading supplies.

This little skeleton is proof that Halloween crafting does not need to be huge or expensive to be fun. Sometimes the best seasonal projects are the small ones you can make in multiples, tuck into gift bags, or hang around the house for a bit of handmade Halloween mischief.

Best for: Halloween bead crafts, spooky handmade charms, beginner-friendly wire bead projects, Halloween party favors, and small seasonal decorations.
