uh oh, leftover Halloween print fabric :-/

[boysniris]

I just finished cutting out all the pieces for the trick-or-treat bags I'm making my boys this year. I didn't do much planning ahead, instead I impulsively bought the fabrics because I was there and they were cute (and on a slight discount). Needless to say, I have over two yards left of coordinating prints.

I can't think of anything else to make, and it will bug me to store something so theme-y.

Does anyone have any cute ideas for projects out of Halloween-print woven fabric? I can only think to make even MORE trick-or-treat bags, but then IDK what I will do with them If I make more, I'll need to buy more interfacing. The prints would not be appropriate for clothes for my boys...or me...

Thanks!

Could you make a table decoration? Like a table runner or something to decorate with?

If you cut a circle of fabric, stuff the middle & then pull the fabric up around the stuffing & bunch it up on top, you can make no sew pumpkin decorations. You tie off the top fabric with twine & then just run a couple more pieces of twine around the whole thing to make the "ridges".

This is a fancy version: http://www.happyhourprojects.com/201...this-week.html

Do you have a pic of the fabric?

Would you be interested in trading for some Christmas print fabric? Or some fleece?

I had thought of that, actually, but IF I decorate the interior of the house, I prefer to do more of a fall/harvest theme that could work from September to November These are pretty much "Halloween" (to me)

This is a great idea, maybe I could make a couple to decorate our porch for the trick-or-treaters. Usually I just carve a pumpkin and call it good

I actually bought a lot of a Christmas/holiday print to make table runner, etc, so I'm not sure if I would be interested in trading. But I had wondered if this might be the way to go. Here are the prints I bought -- nothing HTF :

I would search pinterest... lots of super cute decoration ideas on there...

You have a yard of each?

Those are super cute. I would love to work out a trade if you are interested. I have a whole tub of fleece (blizzard fleece from JoAnns) in all sorts prints or solids all about a yard or so, as well as some Christmas stuff. I might even have some general fall/harvest cotton...in fact, I know I do, just not sure how much, that would be great for interior decorating projects.

Thanks (I was really surprised to find them because I, too, thought they were totally adorable) -- I'll have to measure them out later, but I'll do that. I'm not looking to trade for fleece but I might be interested in your fall prints
