Ok, I may be in procrasinator mode lately.  I cannot seem to stay focused on any one thing.  I have been flighty from one thing to another and not finishing...Brain fog or something.  However, I was able to pull together a quick printable for a classroom handout.  You can easily print it at home for your enjoyment (or others).  Great for those who do not want to give candy.  Copy these out in mass amounts and handthem out.  Simply print the front page.  Then place back into print and print on the back.  To mass produce I take to the print shop, its cheaper.  Enjoy and Happy Halloween.

Spookily Easy Tombstones

These tombstones are creepy props but are super easy to make.

Things needed:

Black foamboard (Walmart has them with the posterboard)

Glue Gun

Brown Craft paper

Tombstone Printouts

Tombstones

Brown/cream/white cardstock paper

Black/grey/white/brown paint

Red and black ink pads

First thing you need to do is cut out tombstone shapes with your craft paper. You can get about 2 per foamboard (unless you make a large ones like the Dr. Arcula). Trace the pattern onto the foamboard. Cut out. I like to use a keyhole saw or a drywall saw for this. I am sure you can use an utility knife also.

Next using your hot glue gun make designs on the tombstone. Cracks, drippy blood, RIP, flowers, swirls, etc. are all ideas for the decorations. Let the hot glue dry. Once dry paint the tombstones grey.

Print out the Tombstone fronts onto tan/cream/white cardstock. Get them ready to mount on the tombstone. You can tear the edges or mount on other cardstock. Glue down. I like to use spray adhesive but you could use any paper adhesive.

On a paper plate or other surface place your black, white, grey and brown paint. Now dab your paint brush or foam brush onto diferent colors but do not mix them. You are going for a look that is splotchy. Blot the paint onto different areas of the tombstone be sure to get the edges of the tombstone fronts. Let dry. With your ink pads rub the tops of the hot glue to color them.

To get them to stand up, cut a 2 inch slit into the centered bottom of the tombstone. Cut strips that are 2 inches high and 12 inches long. Insert the strip into the slit and it will stand. To create the graveyard effect place moss around the tombstones and turn on the fogger that you have hidden behind the tombstones.

Bloody Candle

Ok this is a super simple halloween decoration but creepy looking. Take a white pillar candle and drip wax from a maroon candle on the edges (use a little one--make sure it is solid colored). Once the edges are done to your liking cover the top with drips. I told you it was easy (and it is cheap).

Here is another easy craft for halloween. Print sign on either tan or white cardstock. You will need to cut 1/4 inch off of the top and bottom and 1/2 inch off each side to have it fit an 8 x 10 frame. Tie ribbon on the side and then close up frame.

Happy Halloween Frame *Google Documents uses low resolution to display so you will not see the black polka dots but when you go to print they are there!

Free Spooky Banner

So many times I want to do crafts and fun things for my home but I just cannot seem to find the time to do them. I am sure that I am not the only person to have this problem. I have decided to start making some easy and cute crafts. The best part they are completely free to you. All you need is a computer and a printer. Most will take about 10-15 minutes at the most.

This Halloween Banner is my first which is fitting since halloween is my most favorite holiday. I love the idea of being able to dress as anything that you want and get away with it for just one night! Be on the lookout for more in the future as I will be uploading several a month.

Now just download, print, cut out, attach together with ribbon or string and Hang. Done.
