There are many religious people who do not believe in celebrating Halloween as they feel that the holiday condones Satanic worship. There are, however, some religious people who do not mind participating in Halloween, and for such people, there are a number of different religious crafts that they can try their hand in during Halloween. These crafts will spread God’s word as well as be enjoyable to make. A number of religious crafts will allow you to celebrate Halloween as well as remain within the limits of your beliefs and convictions.
Doling candy sticks is one great religious crafts to make on Halloween and can be used for trick or treat activities. You need to buy card stock paper from your department store and cut out shapes of candy corn. Colour the tips white, the middle yellow and the bottoms orange. Use markers or crayons according to your preference.
At the bottom most part of the corn, you can write these phrases: “You picked a treat from the bowl, here’s a treat for the soul.” At the back of the candy, write down different verses from the bible. Punch a hole on top of the corn and use a string to tie it to the different treats. These kinds of Halloween crafts can involve the entire family and spending time making these are great ways of starting the holiday.
Another cute religious craft that is also easy to create involve kids. First, you need to take a round lollipop like Tootsie Pop. For each lollipop, take a 4” square of burlap, 2” round green felt, a rubber band, black and orange yarn and glue. Wrap the lollopop with the burlap and secure at the bottom using the rubber band. This forms the ‘neck.’ Make the hat by gluing the green felt at the top. Draw a smiling mouth, the nose and the eyes and your very own scarecrow is ready.
After this, take strips of paper with bible verses written on them such as the Psalm 118:6 – I will not be afraid; The Lord is beside me or Psalm 32:7 – You protect me from trouble; You are my hiding place. Attach these papers to the scarecrow by punching a hole through them and pulling yarn.
The best thing about religious Halloween crafts is that these are great ways of having some fun as well as spreading God’s word. You can always rely on your imagination to come up with your own crafts. There are a number of ways of participating in Halloween without offending your religious sentiments.

You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Here is a craft idea that you can do so much with after you are finished with it.
first buy a package of coffee filters. any kind is fine (even a cheap kind) Next get some markers and decorate the coffee filters. don't do anthing fancy just like swirls and spirals going from the center all the way to the outside. Then fold them in half and half and half until they are like pie pieces (> kind of looks like that. Then dip one end into some water either out of a cup or a bowl and watch the colors run make sure it all gets wet but you don't need to drench the thing. Just a little bit goes along way trust me you will see when you do it. then after it is wet unfold it and let it dry. It will look pretty crazy and you can do so many things with it.
Examples: make flowers. pinch the middle and twist and put tape around the stem part so it doesn't come undone.
Use them as a back ground for pictures.
They are so many things you can do with them. Use your imagination.
Hoped this helped!!! Good Luck and have fun.

Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
The United States armed forces cannot recieve cards to "any serviceman" this year due to fears of terrorism. Instead, the Pentagon has set up a secure email system that allows anyone to send a message to "any serviceman." Just pick the branch of the service, type your message and click send.
The story behind the "to any serviceman" cards:
Since 1967, when Sgt. Billy Thompson wrote Abigail Van Buren and mentioned that a wonderful Christmas present to our armed forces would be "just a letter from home," American citizens have been sending holiday wishes to servicemen and women stationed overseas every holiday season. Dubbed "Operation Dear Abby," the program has brought holiday joy to hundreds of thousands of U.S. military personnel deployed away from home.

Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

I like to make simple jewelry. This is popular for moms and elementary school teachers. Get the cute shaped erasers and hot glue them to earring posts. You can get bulk metal shapes like snowflakes and such at a crafts store. Then you can turn them into pins and earrings. If you want to fancy them up you can apply embossing (powder, then heat gun to seal).
They don't cost much and are quick and easy to do!
Nice work, you did pretty good.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
Some horse riders sew their ribbons and rosettes won from horse shows onto quilts and cushion covers, and they look FANTASTIC. I know cardboard/paper from Christmas cards isn't quite the same or as flexible to use as ribbon, but perhaps you could think along those lines? I found a great website a few years ago, of a teenage girl who custom made some excellent quilts etc using people's ribbons. Wish I could remember the address! = It could have possibly been a great source of inspiration
I made a Santa candy container once. I took an ice pick and punched a hole in the center of the lid. Then I took a styrofoam ball, and make a hole through it, and inserted a pipe cleaner, twisting it at the top so it couldn't pull through. Then I made a Santa hat for it out of felt, with a white cotton ball on the top, and glued it on the ball, used sequins for eyes and mouth, and glued a cotton beard on it. Then I inserted the pipe cleaner through the lid, and taped it down so it wouldn't come loose. I cut arms and legs out of a single layer of red felt, mittens out of white felt, and boots out of black. I glued the pieces together, and then I glued them onto the sides and bottom of the jar. For Santa's belt, I glued a black strip of felt all the way around the jar and decorated it with a yellow felt buckle. When all was dry, I filled the jar with Christmas candy and set it on a shelf with his legs dangling down. Very cute, a good Girl Scout project.
Great talent Der Mann.
hatbands
macrame them into a guitar strap with colored hemp twine
bead them onto the back of a jacket so it says your band's name
buy scrunchies and sew them on it so it's a plucky scrunchie! (Sorry! couldn't resist!)
make a watchband or headband
make them into a long fringe for a vest, pants or poncho
sew them down the sides of your pant legs in a stripe
make a chain mail jerkin (medieval vest) out of them by hooking them together with metal o-rings
make a chain mail purse or cell phone case
make key chains
make a lap counter out of them
do what my band does and save them in a picky bank, then toss them to the audience during your last song
