Trick Or Treat!
Hoot 'n' Annie Owl Softies
If you're looking for a fun way decorate the house for fall, try making these adorably quirky owls!
Use leftover fabric from costumes to create Halloween themed owls, or use neutral, autumn-colored fabrics from your stash so you can keep these fun little friends up all season!
Hint: Try arranging your owls around pumpkins or gourdes for a fresh autumn look, or perch an owl on top of a fireplace mantel, shelf or seated on the inside of a wreath!
All Occasion Baskets
Do you know little ones who will be going Trick-Or-Treating this year? Make a perfectly coordinated treat bag to match their costume. Our All Occasion Baskets are simple to make, and can easily be decorated using rick-rack, beads, or themed fabrics. Or, make them really unique by texturizing your fabric using Bosal Stitch & Steam™!
These festive baskets are great for Halloween parties too. Make several and fill them up with candy, treats, or gag gifts like vampire fangs, rubber bugs, glow sticks, and more! They'll provide a wonderful pop of color during the get-together, and your guests can take them home as party favors when they leave.
Petit Four Baskets
If you're looking for something a little smaller, check out our FREE PDF pattern, Petit Four Baskets! These easy to make baskets can be sewn from left-over scraps of fabric and Soft and Stable.
You'll have fun putting these together and then filling them up with goodies and treats. Kids can take them to school for their teachers or classmates, you can give them away to friends at parties, or take some to work for a cute way to decorate your desk space (and keep all sorts of small items and treasures).
Get Creative with Soft and Stable!
ByAnnie's Soft and Stable can be used for more than just bags! It's also great for any project that requires a little added structure.
Use this plush stabilizer to cut out spooky decorations from templates you find online. Some great examples include bat wings, tombstones, black cats, bones, pumpkins and more. It's perfect for decorating around the house!
You can also use Soft and Stable for added stability when making hats for witch or pirate costumes, or it can be attached to a headband to create quick and easy animal ears.
Don't forget that Soft and Stable is really helpful when constructing more complex costumes as well.
For example, it provides fantastic structure for making fairy or butterfly wings. For inspiration on how you can create your own, take a look at these adorable wings Lydia made for her Telafante blog!
Or, try using Soft and Stable to create costumes with really dramatic collars, shoulder pads, voluminous skirts, and more. We love seeing how Evan C. uses it in his costumes. Check out his Instagram account for more some great ideas! @cannoncreations
