Easy Halloween Kid Craft

This is a really easy kids Halloween craft. Yesterday when we were bored I came up with it although I'm sure someone somewhere has already done it.

I didn't get a picture of her doing this craft, but it's super easy! I just traced both of her feet onto white paper then let her cut them out herself. She then drew faces on the ghostie feet then glued them to the yellow paper. Then she stamped some Halloween stamps on to the paper. We are working on writing her name so I had her write her name at the bottom too.

Next is spider hands! All we did was trace her hands on black paper, she cut them out (I had to help her with cutting by the fingers), drew faces on them then glued them onto the orange paper. Last year for Halloween I bought a bag of spider webs from Walmart so I cut off a few small pieces of that and stretched them out. She then glued them to the corners and drew a line from the web to the spider. Then she stamped Happy Halloween down the middle.

Super easy and fun! I love this craft too because you will be able to look back in the years to come and see how small their little feet and hands are. We had a blast doing this little craft!

Happy Halloween and happy crafting!

Spooky!

I must admit that I LOVE Halloween! I've always loved it! My hubby doesn't love it nearly as much as I do so that's why Sky and I plastered our house with Halloween decor while he was at class. We are sneaky sneaky, I know. ;) I have a tutorial of a fun Halloween craft for you just to get you in a spook-tacular mood. :)


What you will need:

A hot glue gun, hot glue, a candle stick holder and a small round jar of some sort. I got both my candle stick holder and jar both from the dollar store. I bought that last of the candle stick holders sadly enough and they haven't gotten anymore in, but when they do I will make more of these!

Step 1:
Put hot glue all around the top of the candle stick holder.

Step 2:
Place the glass jar on the glue. Make sure that it is centered before you put it down on the holder.

There you go! Piece of cake! I love this because it's so easy and so cute! You can tie ribbons around the bottom if you choose, or leave it be.

You could even add some eyeballs! :) I found these bubble eyeballs at the dollar store and thought they would be perfect for this project! I need to buy some more next time I go to fill it up. The total cost of this craft was $3.00 (eyeballs included).

Here are a few more things in my Halloween decor that I have made!

This Spooky canister is probably one of my favorites! I made it last year, but I love it! I got the canister long ago from Roberts. I then choose 2 scrapbook papers that I liked and cut them into 3'' strips. I then distressed the edges and glued them to the canister with mod podge. They all overlapped a bit. Then I pulled out my old school foam stamps and picked out the letters that I needed for the word "Spooky" all from different fonts. I stamped on the word Spooky with black craft paint that I got from Archivers. If you get some on the edges of your letters not to worry 'cause it makes for great distressing! I distressed next to the word Spooky with black paint. After the paint was fully dry (it is very important to let the paint dry all the way so that it doesn't smear). I then painted mod podge over the whole canister. While that was drying I cut out a piece of paper for the lid. I painted the top of the lid black, mod podged the paper to the lid, then distressed it with white paint. I really love how this craft turned out!

I found this glass jar at my parents house. It had some nasty flower thing with perfume stuff in it so my mom was going to throw it away. I snatched it from her, threw that flower away and washed it out really well. I thought that it would look cool with some glow in the dark snakes that I found, once again, at the dollar store. {I love the dollar store!} My husband didn't notice this until one night when he turned off the lights the snakes started glowing and it freaked him out a bit. Hahahaha!

I hope you have enjoyed this Halloween post! I'm sure there will be more to come! Happy crafting!
