I've got 3 incredibly freakin' difficult Halloween crafts that are sure to disgust your candy-munchin' ghosts, goblins, pirates, princesses, vampires & werewolves! By disgust, I mean delight and by incredibly freakin' difficult, I mean HELLA EASY! Boo-ya! (Pun intended)
So, let's get this show on the road, ladies. Halloween ain't gonna wait around forever!
Peter Piper Picked A Pumpkin Cup
Starting with the easiest of the easy, I'll show ya what I did to make the Pumpkin Cups!
2. Use your Sharpie and draw a Jack O' Lantern face right on those bad boys.
3. DONE!
Moving on...
Granny's Ghastly Goblin Garland
Not particularly difficult, but slightly more time consuming.
1. Gather up the following items:
- 4 different styles of fabric, 1 yard each. (This will make A LOT of garland. I made one 18' strand and three 10' strands with supplies to spare using this amount.)
- Spool of hemp
- Scissors
- Pencil (for marking the fabric to cut)
- Yardstick
2. Cut fabric into 1.5" x 6" strips.
3. Cut hemp to desired length of garland.
4. Tie the fabric strips around the hemp. I left a little space between each one. The closer you tie them to each other, the fuller your garland will be.
5. Keep going till you run out of string, Einstein.
6. Use the garland to tie up your children and use them as scary Halloween decor in your front yard.
And last but not least...
Paranormal Party Potion
1. Here's what you'll need:
- Juice Boxes (the dimensions of mine were 4.75" x 2" x 1.5")
- Spooky (Or pretty, whatever) Gift Wrap
- Various styles & colors of ribbon.
- Scotch Tape
- Bottle of school glue
- Assorted Halloween die cut card stock. (I found these at Michael's, but if you have a Cricut, you're ahead of the game!)
- Yard stick
- and Scissors (Not pictured. Dummy me.)
2. Easily the most tedious step of them all: Remove the straws from the backs of the juice boxes WITHOUT RIPPING OPEN THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SLEEVE! I may or may not have cursed under my breath while completing this step.
3. Cut the gift wrap into 6" x 7.25" rectangles. (These dimensions were perfect for the size of my juice boxes. If your boxes are a different size, adjust accordingly)
4. Cut ribbon into 7" strips. (Ditto from above)
5. Wrap box in gift wrap, but don't cover the top end. Fasten with Scotch Tape.
6. Wrap ribbon around the box and fasten in back using a combination of school glue & scotch tape.
7. Glue the Halloween die cut shapes onto the front of the box and allow to set.
8. Attach the straw to the back of the box using a small piece of scotch tape.
Good job there, kiddo! Now, no one will go thirsty.
So, there you have it. Hopefully you're sufficiently inspired enough to throw your kids one heck of a Halloween hoedown... or at least have some cool ideas to contribute to someone else's spooktacular shindig. I'll post some additional shots below so feel free to check them out.
Until next time, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
