Getting Crafty II

We made scarecrows. They're so ugly they're cute, and they need hats, but here they are....what a fun project to do with your kiddos! We had no leafs yet so we crumpled up newspaper and it worked just fine.


**********************************************************************************
I also made a candy corn wreath. At work on Sunday I was looking at Halloween decorations on the internet and this popped up from that magazine womens world. super cute, and ridiculously easy!
 First just get a styrofoam wreath. I just cut mine out of a square piece I had, but you can buy them for like 5 bucks at Hobby Lobby.

 Then I wrapped it in wide masking tape to smooth the rough edges of the wreath and kind of give it a 'crinkled' look.

 Then I spray painted it a matte black.


AND obviously then I glued on candy corn. You can glue them in any pattern you choose. I tied a black ribbon at the top and voila...there ya have it folks. super easy!

This is another super easy and ridiculously cheap one. I got this paper marche type unfinished banner from Hobby Lobby. It was 2.99, with 40% off. I brought it home and copied the letters onto some Halloween scrap booking paper I already had. Glued them on with Mod Podge and slapped a coat on top and once again folks it's magic!
