The bewitching season begins soon, so the behind-the-scenes witchery has been toiling without fanfare.
Translation: I’ve been indulging in my holiday crafting throughout September, to create, design, and assemble the 2022 collection of Halloween pins.
First confession: The yearly pins resemble previous last year’s selections, because there’s very little you can do with pumpkins, bats, witches and other available Halloweeneries.
I’ve also done some early mailings to friends, colleagues and family – so ifMy you’ve been on the list, watch your mail box for treats over the next few days.
Second confession: midway through the assembly period, I had a quick flash of inspiration.
Sure, ghouls, jack-o-lanterns, spiders, bats and other Halloween critters prevail.
My brainstorming idea: Why not make pins resembling trick-or-treat bags?
Did only a limited addition of these designs, but see the results here – the treat bag pins are the ones with little bag handles.
Will surely be part of the repertoire for next year’s designs.
Trick or treat!!!
Wayne, I am loving your blog and, of course, i’m a big fan of your Ghoulery. Thanks so much.
Hi Wayne,
Really cute idea making your pins into gift bags. Aloha Dolores
A simple but effective idea. Tnx for your comment.
