Halloween Crafts
I’m finishing up a fun Jack-O-Lantern flag to hang up on the front door. I’m hoping to get it finished this week, though it seems that something is always getting in the way. One thing that I let stop me is the chance to gt crafty with my kids. I love doing crafty art projects, so getting to sit down with my sons and do some is loads of fun.
One great project we have done is a hanging pumpkin. It hangs up in my oldest son’s room where he can admire his handy work. It was so easy to make too. A circle cut out of orange paper, with black jack-o-lantern face pieces glued on. I used a hole punch to put even holes along and he got some sewing practice in sewing it shut. We filled it out with strips of newspaper to give it a fat pumpkin look.
Another thing they enjoyed doing was kleenex ghosts. We took a kleenex nd folded it over a small rubber ball (trust me, they have tons of those). Then tied a bit of string under the ball to hold it in place. The string was also used to hang them on the walls.
If you are looking for more fun Halloween craft ideas there is a ton listed here. You can also head over to Scribbit and check out what others have posted to the Winter Bazaar.
