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
