Again, With the Crafts......

One set of Halloween picks just 
wasn't enough this year!

I also found these circles of 
Halloween cuteness and decided they needed to 
hang out at our house!

I printed and trimmed them.....then chose some black and white
ribbon to add onto the picks.


Four picks, four bows.....


I decided to add a hit of Halloween color with buttons.....


......a quick dig through my button stash yielded these!


The biggest button needed the loop on the back
trimmed off......snip!
My needle nosed pliers are 
crazy handy.


Here are the black and white Halloween 
picks all put together.  

Circle picture,
pick,
bow,
button,
seasonal paper on back.....





These turned out nicely.....
do you agree, Glitterinas?


Here's where they are parked for the season.


Witchy Poo flew off for the 
hall bathroom.....I guess she's the 
independent one!


If you are looking for a quick touch of 
Halloween to add to your seasonal decor
give picks a try.....


Please leave me a comment so I'll know you stopped by!

Thanks so much for letting me share 
these fun, simple craft ideas with you, Glitterinas!


You are the best,
Tammy

Halloween Crafts!

Hello Glitterinas!

As I glance at the calendar I'm seeing the days until
Halloween getting fewer and fewer.

My sweet grandmother, MeeMee, used to tell me that as one gets 
older time goes by faster.

I used to tell her that sounded silly.....well, MeeMee,
you were right!

Wasn't it just the 4th of July?!

Good grief.....




This year I have really scaled back on my Halloween
decorations.  Not exactly sure why, I just have!

I have Fall things out in the house and I simple added 
a Halloween touch here and a little bit there.....

Something new this year is these cute 
pumpkin face guys.


They make me smile.....I love those big,
toothy grins and their vintage look.

I have never been a fan of scary Halloween....I'm too big a chicken 
to go in for that.


Silly Halloween, 

funny Halloween, 

and cute Halloween 

have always been my jam at this time of year.
(Do people still say "my jam"?) 

I downloaded these cute guys and printed them off.

I cut them out and glued seasonal paper to the top of 
the back of each pumpkin.....not sure where the pictures of these steps went!?

I left the bottom of the backing paper unglued.....

I needed to add some items....

.....like curly ribbon,


Here you can see how the bottom of the back paper wasn't glued.

First, I glued on the curly ribbon....


......then the long, bamboo pick.


Next, I cut some crepe paper.....
(I used my Martha Stewart fringing scissors.)


.....and rolled it into small sections.


Each pumpkin guy got some crepe paper, too!


Lastly, the front paper and back paper got glued together
at the bottom.




Until the crepe paper gets fluffed it looks like he has a goatee!

Tah Dah!!



Lather, rinse, repeat.....

I made four of these cute, little guys!

They are adding to our Halloween spirit around the house.....



Kinda cute, don't you think, Glitterinas?


I think older children could make these, don't you?


What Halloween touches, if any, do you add to your 
decor?

Leave me a note and let me know, please.

I really enjoy reading your thoughts about 
my posts!

Thank you so much for stopping by!


Boo to you, Glitterinas,

Tammy
