Running short on time? Make this easy no-sew PacMan Costume!

You can also use this technique and make your own felt shapes and paste them onto a plain dress to make your version of this dress! Or use heat transfer vinyl, just cut out the shapes in different colors and iron them onto a plain T-shirt, sweater or dress.

Have some Halloween fabric scraps on your hand? Make this quilt as you go, super easy table runner!

Try and stick to a color scheme for this, 3-4 colors, and keep the rest neutral to give a cohesive look to the runner.
