Happy Halloween! These are some drawings that my kids made that I scanned and traced in Illustrator to use on their school Halloween carnival invitations. They love to see their drawings turn into digital cartoons.
Hope you have a fun and safe Halloween. Costume update tomorrow, maybe.
Here’s a flashback from last year when I posted the instructions for this pumpkin pincushion here.These also work well as decorations and I think it would be fun to try them in patchwork.
It’s hard to believe, but if you like to make things for the holidays, it’s time to start thinking about Halloween. I’ve been busy helping plan our school’s Halloween carnival, so it’s been on my mind. And of course we’re thinking about costumes. My younger daughter wants to be Mary with her little lamb (our dog) and my older daughter wants to be a gumball machine. So this should be an interesting year.
Here are some crafts that I’ve featured here in the past:
Last-Minute Kids’ Owl Costume for Alpha Mom.
Bat Mobile made from recycled and natural materials.
Salt Dough Pumpkins for Alpha Mom.
Treat Sacks made with cereal box stencils for Alpha Mom.
Bat Costume from a t-shirt, with printable mask.
Plus, check out my round-up of 50 Halloween Crafts from around the web, another round-up of cute candy corn projects, and this slide show of 16 Homemade Halloween Costumes on Country Living featuring my bat and owl costumes.
