Looking for a simple, cute way to dress up your kids for Halloween? Knitrgal has knitted some really adorable pumpkin hats and you can purchase them over at her etsy shop. All you need is a matching orange knitted sweater and you have yourself a full costume! This would be great for those fall/Halloween portraits.
Miniature Witch's Broom
How about a Miniature Witch's Broom to go along with your Miniature Pumpkin? This is too cute I had to share this with everyone. I found this tutorial on Makes and Takes. If you make amigurumi animals this would be a great prop. I think I'll make an amigurumi witch!

Miniature Pumpkins
Liquid Paper has a tutorial on how to create these adorable pom pom pumpkins. The pom pom's she used are from a fringe, which you can probably find at any craft store. These would make a great addition if you are making a fall miniature scene or for a kids' dollhouse.

Monster Wreath
Have you ever seen the movie Monsters Inc? That is what this wreath reminds me of. I found a tutorial over at Crafster on how to create your very own monster wreath. If you are having a monster themed Halloween party this would be a perfect decoration.
