Halloween Stuff!

Fun fun fun halloween stuff that my sis snapped these pics of in Utah. I will be doing less-awesome knock off versions of these :) But they will not cost me anything.

 So on this one- those fun swizzle stick/candy looking things are just wooden dowels cut and painted. Easy as pie! I do so wish that I could craft an awesome apothecary jar like that out of something in my house. Oh well.
And I am really excited about this one- haven't decided if I am going to use real books, or make them out of wood or what. But I know I can beat $26. 

See you Thursday! :)

Topiary

Some of you probably saw me working on this a few craft nights back. I finally finished it so I thought I'd post a pic of what it looks like now. If anyone wants to make this, it's very easy...just takes time. :)  I saw a topiary similar to this on Ucreate crafts, but they used scrapbook paper instead of satin fabric. All you need are 2 styrofoam balls, a dowel stick, fabric/scrapbook paper, straight pins with the pearl looking end, felt, and hot glue gun, along with something to put your topiary in. (Pot, jar, etc.) I also covered a couple styrofoam balls in the same way and set them on top of candlesticks. They would even be cute hanging with ribbon from the ceiling of a little girls room.
