Halloween Crafts


Now that the weather has cooled off and we are home from Vancouver I have started working on Halloween Crafts. I just love crafting and why not make some of my own halloween decorations! My First Craft was the eyeball frame.

Supplies needed:

Cheap Frame ( I bought mine at Dollarama)
Green Paint (acrylic paint from Michaels)
Various sizes of googley eyes (Michaels)

How to Make:

Step 1  paint the outside of the frame green and allow time to dry
Step 2 Glue gun various sizes of eyes all over the frame
Step 3 print a picture or caption for inside your frame



My Inspiration 


My Halloween Frame




My inspiration came from this blog, which I of course found on pinterest. You can check out the blog for alternative instructions as well. I opted to do mine slightly differently, but I think both styles are cute!



My next craft project was potion bottles. I searched high and low for bottles that looked like potion bottles but didnt have much luck. Fortunately I remembered pinning something a long while back, about a site to order mason jars from. I decided to take a look at the site and sure enough there were all kinds of bottles you could order. I ended up getting 3 different shaped bottles and 3 viles. The total cost was $30.00 and beleive it or not 2/3 of the cost was shipping. Meaning the bottles were darn cheap! Anyway then I printed off free potion labels, again from pinterest found sites and used modge podge to adhesive them to the bottles. My last step is to fill the bottles with "potion" AKA colored water. Cute little halloween decor for super cheap!
