quick Halloween crafts

I purchased some small hand soaps and peeled off the labels, then used to my Cricut to cut the black vinyl letters.

For the text, I used the font “Dark Half BTN”.

I attached some festive ribbon and then hot glued different colored plastic spiders to the bottles. ( These are spider rings, and I just cut the ring part off.)

FUN!  I love how they turned out.  Hope the teachers do, too!

Google Eye Halloween Frame

So of course I saw this idea for Halloween photo frames on Pinterest, and decided my kids needed to try it…

We started with these supplies. We already had the glue and the sponge brushes.  The frames were $1 at Michaels.  The Google Eyes were $1 at Dollar Tree.

After the kids painted each frame black, I hot glued some paper flowers to each frame.  And after that, the kids started gluing on eyes…

They swirled glue in small sections at a time, and then just placed the eyes.

Now I have fun photo frames to display Halloween costumes from years past!

Spider Lollipops

I keep getting such great ideas from Pinterest!  This idea for Spider Lollipops came from Oh Dee Doh and it’s such a fun idea!

I purchased a bag of Tootsie Roll lollipops and cut squares from a black trash bag to cover the wrapper.  Then I took three pipe cleaners (cut in half) to wrap around and create the “legs”.

Lastly, I glued some googly eyes them.

How fun are these favors?!  I hope the kids love ‘em!  Thanks for visiting me today!

Pumpkin Bowling

Today I’m sharing an easy project using recycled bottles. I painted a few empty bottles to create some Pumpkin Bowling games for an upcoming fall festival.

I followed this tutorial from Meet The Dubiens blog.  but I found it necessary to use a hair dryer to dry the paint so it wouldn’t sink to the bottom of the bottles. (Even applying heat to the outside of the bottle will help dry the paint inside.)
  

Hope the kids will enjoy this!
