BOO!
Welcome to Monday Made It...Halloween Style!
I have always loved Halloween and I'm excited to share some craftiness I've made to get in the spirit.
I got this lil' pumpkin at Hobby Lobby for 40% off.
I used glass seed beads, sequins, sequin pins, and glue to decorate.
I have blogged about the whole process, step by step, here for anyone that wants to know everything you need to make these. This worked perfectly for my plan to hang in my pajamas and watch Netflix.
Finished pumpkin
Isn't it sparkly and festive?
Can you guess what this one is goin' to be?
I cut a styrofoam ball in half to get this one started and used the same supplies from here.

Finished spider
Isn't he cute and sparkly too?
I can't decide which one I like better!
I saw this idea on Aylin and Amanda's blog, Learning to the Core, and immediately fell in love.
I'm goin' to have my 5th graders decorate these to give their Kindergarten friends for readin'.
I do boo-lieve they will really like these.
I also made editable Halloween Labels that are in my TpT store. Miss Nelson and I made Halloween Question Cards to spark student discussion or prompted writing for our Double Trouble TpT store.

Love your pumpkin and spider.They remind me of ornaments my Mom and I used to make. I remember them being beautiful but weighing a ton! Now I want to make a spider for my spider unit! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt actually calms me. I just sit in front of the TV and then I don't feel bad for not doing anything while I'm watching. :)
DeleteOkay, I'm impressed! Those are awesome!

Thanks, Bethany! They were fun to make!
DeleteWowie wow wow!! Those are amazing! I'm really quite impressed with your craftiness. I love all the sparkly. It's incredible what we can come up with just so we can stay in our PJs all day. ; )
ReplyDeleteThose eyeball sticks are cool. I wonder how many of your fifth graders will decorate their stick to look like Mike Wyzowski (Monsters Inc.)?
Have a great week! : )

Oh....I didn't think of that. That's a great idea. We shall wait and see. Thank you for your compliment, Ali! I do love some sparkle!
DeleteLove your sequined decorations! I inherited a whole set of Christmas tree ornaments from my husband's grandmother that are done with sequins, pins, and beads. I've always thought I should find out how to make them and add to the collection. You have inspired me to do just that!

Your crafts are so impressive!! I love the idea to use a dip tray as an organizer while you are working too. So smart!
