Candy Bags

I am making slow but steady progress on the dining room.  Hopefully I will finish it up soon cause I can't wait to share it with you!   But in the meantime how about another quick and easy Halloween craft?!?!

We will be hitting the streets with some friends this year - 4 kids in total - so I thought it would be fun to make candy bags for each of the kiddos.  Nothing fancy, just colorful paper bags and glitter paper all from Michael's.

I grabbed my handy scissors and started cutting.  I glued the main pieces down with a glue stick but had to pull out the hot glue to glue glitter paper to glitter paper.  It just didn't like sticking to itself!  

So a little cutting and pasting later and we now have colorful bags to collect our loot.

My daughter is going as a pirate so the skull and crossbones are for her.  Arrrrggggggg.  

Webs & Spiders, Oh My

Halloween is 15 days away so it is time to get our decorating on!  (BTW I just finished eating a dark chocolate sea salt caramel from Whole Foods.  So Good!)  But anyways - now or never people.  And as I promised the jars are ready for their Halloween debut.  No more leaves and candles.  Now we've got creepy crawlies.

Webs and spiders from the dollar store took my Target jars (and a few additional mason jars) from Fall to freaky for just a few bucks.

And come Halloween night these babies will light up my front walk with orange glow sticks and lead the kiddos to yummy treats...

...and maybe a few tricks!
