DIY Trick Or Treat Bags
This year I wanted some thing a little different for my kids Trick or Treat bag. I thought it would be fun for the kids to see how much candy they had with out opening the bag. So I came up with these.
You can make them in any Halloween shape you want. Bats, Pumpkins, Frankenstein, Monster or a Ghost. Today I am going to show you how to make a Bat.
Here is what you need:
1/2 yard Black Fabric
2 sheets black felt
Black thread
Clear vinyl plastic
White & black vinyl
(I buy my vinyl from Vinyl Expressions. it is inexpensive and you can buy as much or as little as you would like. See the link on my side bar)
Cut your fabric the size you want your bag, I cut mine 12×24. Fold in half to make 12×12. M:ake the folded edge the top of your bag.
Cut your clear vinyl to be 12×12.
Slide the wings in between your fabric layer. Pin into place. Stitch down both sides and the bottom.
Reusable Pumpkin and other characters
Today’s post is one I did for Eighteen 25 and there Spooktacular September. Enjoy!
Do you ever buy those huge containers of food at Sam’s Club or Costco? Your kids eat the entire container and then you think, can use this for something or is it going to take up all the space in my garbage can. Well today you can say I have a project for that big old container. Today I am going to show you how to reuse those empty containers into fun decor!
I started with an old cheese ball container. You know the ones they sell at Sam’s club, that your kids just love. Yeah those ones!
Let your kids eat those till they turn orange. Just think they could be Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween! Or you could use them as a treat for school or a party.
Clean out your container and remove the label from the front. If you get the label wet with hot water they will usually peel right off. Make sure all the glue is off the container. If not you could use a little adhesive remover (goof off) to get it off.
Next paint your container. I used Valspar copper colored paint for the container and green paint for the lid. Give it a good coat. Let dry. Add one more coat. Let dry.
While the paint is drying get your vinyl. You can buy vinyl for lots of places. Joanns and Michaels carry a few colors. I purchase mine at Vinyl Expressions. The price is great and there shipping is lighting fast. Use the template here or create your own. Draw your face onto the back of your vinyl. Cut, Peel and stick.
You can add leaves or ribbon to the lid. Then use them to decorate your porch, tables or to put your Trick or Treat candy in.
For the month of October I am hosting a Masquerade Ball. Come link up and share your handmade costumes. Guest bloggers and prizes all month! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Halloween Costumes – Butterball Turkey
Dressing up a baby for Halloween is a rite of passage for a new mom. This year my guy was a Butterball turkey. Mostly because he is a chubby round faced baby that you just can’t resist pinching. This costume was so easy to make. Brown clothing and my silhouette made this one happen. And he looked adorable!
