Autumn Crafts - Shindles with Black Cat and Pumpkin Motifs

When autumn is in the air, decorating is so easy because of all the wonderful motifs the season offers us. Whether it’s leaves, pumpkins, scarecrows, or the holiday motifs of Halloween and Thanksgiving. There is so much to choose from. This craft project is easily made and makes a nice decoration for the wall. These shindles are made from molds. If you have no molds and plaster to create your own shindles, perhaps you can buy prepared shindles at your local craft store. Wooden boards can be used as an alternative and are also lighter in weight.
