Halloween Crafts

Brightest Blessings Everyone,
 Welcome everyone who is already following me & to those who are visiting me from Mrs. B's Haunted Blog Tour.  Today, I'm going to share a few Halloween crafts that I've either found online or I have got from family.
  1. First is Glue Ghost Necklaces- Items needed: White Glue, Wax Paper, Paperclips (I'm going to use Safety Pins when I do this) , black thread (or some yarn), black construction paper or black sharpie or googly eyes. Directions: First, take the glue and make a ghost shape on the wax paper. The thicker the layer of glue the longer it will take to dry. Next, Place the Paperclip at the top and let the glue dry. Once the glue is dry, make/ draw eyes and a mouth. Then, carefully peel the ghost from the wax paper and then thread through the paperclip and then you have a necklace.
  2. This next one I got from Country Living. It's a Spooky Terrarium. Items needed: Empty jars i.e. pickles, jelly, glass jars; some twigs; some fake bugs; maybe a small black bird; hot glue; white or black paint; some moss. Directions:  Take and hot glue a twig that will fit inside the jar when closed to the inside of the lid. Take a bug or bird and hot glue it to the twig.  Next, paint the whole twig, bird/bug and lid black or white. Once dried hot glue some moss around the twig. Then carefully take the jar upside down over it and screw it shut. **Special Notes** Glue the Black bird on after you paint.  Also I would probably paint stuff before gluing.
  3. The last one is a creepy tree. Take a flower pot or planter and paint it black. Take some branches and paint them black as well. Place some craft foam or maybe some rocks in the bottom of the pot. Arrange the sticks inside it and place some moss around them. Maybe hot glue a bird in the branches or cover it in spider webs and hot glue a spider to it.
Thanks everyone for stopping by. I will have pictures up soon of some of the different crafts as we do them.
