Snowmen Trio [Recycled-- Puff containers!]

What you need:

1.Styro-foam or wood base   *OPTIONAL

I put four tooth picks in between these two random packing pieces of foam I had lying around, and then cut out a poster board paper to elmer's glue to the top (to allow all others pieces to be attached without melting through the foam)

2. Clear or shiny flat marbles/stones

3. Elmers AND hot glue gun
4.Fabric: scraps (scarves)
5. Baby/toddler socks (hat/beanie)---got mine at the dollar store---
6. Buttons
7. Sharpie markers
8. Cotton ball cut in half (for ear muffs) and glitter (dip in elmers glue first)
9. Orange juice caps (hats)

Steps:

1. Empty containers and clean out well
2. Tie on scarves, and then draw faces on! (to make sure you don't draw its face to low and it be covered by the scarf!)
3. Hot glue on your buttons and head accessories (hats, muffs)
4. Glue container bases to your base (where my blue circles are in the picture below!)---or just have them free standing (separately or together around your home)
5. *If you chose to have a base to glue them onto, then this is when you will want to hot glue and lay down your flat marbles, in a two layer process (check above pics)

TA-DA!  :D

Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Super Easy!!

friendly PET Spiders! (easy kids craft!)

Made these for my nursery class originally and then some for hanging around the house! (and one for my some to carry around, just loves it!)

What you need to make a spider pet:

*optional---what you use for the legs (could use pipe cleaners)

*optional---what you use for eyes (could use cheerios ---or even paint them green red or yellow!---

*optional---fun edged scissors to give texture to the body ;)

Googly eyes 

hot glue or tape (attaching legs)

paper of any kind

white string for 'leash' (web)

circle stencil (i used cookie cutter!) to make body

hole punch (put in as far as the punch will allow---shouldnt be very center...great for letting it hang downwards anyways ;)

Tape will do, if that is all you have, but I would suggest using Elmer's or hot glue (depending on kid or parent making it) for more lasting durability (to store and re-use each year)

Pics of Different color spider's coming soon!...

Witch's Cauldron TEA LIGHT HOLDER [recycled]

To make your very own Cauldron Tea Light holder, you will need:

1. Tea light!
2. Small cauldron---I got mine from a Michaels, a good few years back (and when it was 50% off! yes!) for about 3-5$ at the most...on sale ;)  but I found the very same one online at a few different sites, but all about $10: http://www.candycrate.com/halloween-hot-chocolate-cauldron-tin.html?gclid=COLVzNKauroCFclDMgodNFEAyQ click on this site...or google 'hot chocolate caudron' and you can see all the others for the same price (or more!)  

**If $10 seems to be more than you'd like to spend...I would suggest waiting until after Halloween to see if they go on sale, but if money isnt an issue for you and you want to use the hot chocolate as a Halloween 'event' for your family or friends this Halloween then GO FOR IT! It is a treat and a craft!!

    3. Glitter and Elmers glue for the potion/brew center! (any neon or Halloween color would do: green, red, orange...) I used purple :P

    4.  Spray paint (or acrylic paint and a coat of Modge Podge---what I used because that is what I had around)

    5. Any embellishments, although I used some adhesive gem clusters (come with a sticky back and in cluster just the way you see in the photo)

HAVE WICKED FUN!
