Teacher Gifts

This is what Brady's teachers are getting for the Halloween party tomorrow. I have made some of these in the past, but just got my new Goo punch this year, so I added that to the top of the test tubes.

Treats for Kindergarteners

Here are the treats Brady will be bringing to school for his classmates tomorrow for their Harvest Party. I just ripped muslin fabric that was tea-dyed and wrapped it around the candy bar. Add two googlie eyes and call it a Mummy!

October weSTAMP Projects

Our weSTAMP group met last night, and what a FUN night we had!! I just love these gals, they inspire me every time we meet!

Kindergarten Kraft

I am in charge of the craft for Brady's Kindergarten "HARVEST" party next week. I have all these cute Halloweenish ideas, but because it is a HARVEST party it can't be jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, witches, etc. It definitely had to be FALLISH.

ANYWHOOOOO.....this is what I came up with. Actually I found this idea on the internet. I just googled "crafts for 5-year olds" and this came up. LOL There is a full toilet paper roll inside the 22" square piece of fabric. You just stuff the ends of the fabric into the hole in the center of the toilet paper roll. Take a corrugated piece of paper (3"x3" rolled and glued), with a felt leaf tied around it with a pipe cleaner, and stick it in the toilet paper roll hole!

Once everything was cut out and ready to go, it took literally less than 5 mn. to make! I hope the kids (and moms!) like this! This is a great fast and easy "kid" friendly project.

More Halloween Projects

Here are some more Halloween projects I forgot to post!

This one is one of the "infamous" treat boxes. I LOVE making these!

Recipe:
Stamp Set: Pumpkin Patch, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Basic Black, Retired SU DP (Orange)
Ink: Basic Black, Craft White
Accessories: Black Gingham 1/4" Ribbon, Transparancy Sheet

Box dimension: 3 1/4" x 4", scored at 5/8" on all sides
Transparancy dimension: 6" x 2 7/8", scored at 1 1/4", 2", 4", 4 3/4"
Nugget wrapper dimension: 1" x 3"


I made a bunch of these candy bar sliders last year with a full sized Hershey candy bar. This year I made "mini" ones.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Itty Bitty Backgrounds

Paper: Naturals Ivory, Basic Black

Ink: Creamy Caramel

Accessories: Daubers (for ripped edges), Booglie Eyes, 1/4" Grosgrain Brown Ribbon, 1/4" Hole Punch

The dimensions of the candy bar sleeve is 4" x 4". It is scored at 1 5/8 and 3 1/4". Tape the small flap to the other side so it closes. Then I tore a bunch of strips of paper and actually hot glued the ends to the front side of the candy bar slider. (I used tape last year but it lifted. Hot glue works fast and INSTANTLY bonds.)
