Halloween Projects!

I'm pretty much the worst at updating.  I was talking to a fellow blogger about how great I am at "dumping" per say.  I guess I'm busy working on the following projects instead of posting about them.  That said, here I go!

Halloween Projects:
I love Halloween so I've been working on new decorations for this year:

Yarn Candy Corns

The supplies you'll need for this project.

If you have any young, teenage sisters, I'd recommend roping them in as your assistant :)

Mark the sections on the cones with a marker so you know where to stop winding the yarn.

We found it easier to start at the top and wind the yarn down the cone.

Make a line of glue vertically while you wind horizontally to secure the yarn onto the Styrofoam cone.

Wah Lah!  You have Halloween Candy Corns.

I kinda wish I'd done them all uniform/same pattern, but I am still ok with the variety.  

Owl Cupcakes:

I saw these on Pinterest and absolutely loved them! I'm going to make them for our Halloween party coming up :) Just a normal cupcake, frosting, oreos, and reeses pieces.

Just frost the cupcake (make sure to add the ears at the top), cut a double stuf'd oreo in half, use the brown reeses pieces for eyes and place them on the oreos and the oreos on the cupcake, then place an orange or a yellow reeses pieces sideways as the nose. Phew!  It's a lot easier than I'm making it sound! haha.

 Painted Pumpkins:

K, I kinda wish I had bought the fake pumpkins that were $3 a piece at the craft store, but now I've had my practice on disposable pumpkins.

I just used acrylic paint that I had at home.

I chose silver and black, but you can use any colors!  It's up to your imagination, of course ;)

Well, that about wraps it up, for now.  I'll try to keep the "dumping" to a minimum, and who knows? Maybe I'll actually get around to another post before it's been a month...we'll see ;)  I do have our Halloween costume pictures ready, and some pics of my "shopping spree" I spoiled myself with a couple weeks ago.  Until then, Happy Haunting!
