Simply fun Halloween Treats - No sugar added!

Last Halloween I made these fun little treats for Jilian's class. I wanted something that didn't involve candy since, as you know, there is LOTS of sugar around Halloween! The craft is simple and affordable to make.

Supplies 

Cellophane bags, 1" x 8"** 

Circle punch

Scallop punch

Black ink pad

Orange ink pad

White cardstock

Orange cardstock
Halloween stamp

Glow sticks from Dollar Tree

Adhesive

Glue dots

Stickles glitter**

**Available at Michael's or from Stampin' UP!

How To

1. With black ink stamp as many images as you need, I made 12, so I stamped 12 spiders on white cardstock.
2. Punch out each spider with the Circle punch
3. Out of the orange cardstock punch 12 scallops
4. With orange ink, ink around each circle
5. Glue circles to center of scallops
6. Place one glow stick inside a cellophane bag and close
7. With one glue dot attach each completed scallop to the top of the cellophane bag
8. With the Stickles add a little glitter where ever you like! I added it to the spider's eyes.

ENJOY!

Creepy Crawlies

As I've mentioned many times, I LOVE Halloween! It is my favorite holiday. I'm already browsing my favorite Halloween idea books and magazines. I can't wait to start decorating! My favorite Halloween magazine this year is from Matthew Mead. He has tons of great (and doable) ideas for Halloween. One of my favorites are the spooky chocolate donuts (top right hand corner). Halloween is on a Thursday this year, the same day as my Bible study, I think I'll bring some spooky donuts for a treat!

On to the creepy crawlies. Last year Jilian and I made these creepy spiders to place around house. They were fun and simple to make. We had lots of fun placing them around the house. We hung them from picture frames or crawling on the dining room chandelier.

For supplies you will need: 

Black spray paint

Foam balls (you pick the size, I used medium)

Black pipe cleaners

A hot glue gun 

A pencil

Step 1: Paint the foam balls

Step 2: Using the pencil punch four holes on each side of the foam ball

Step 3: Using the hot glue gun, glue one pipe cleaner inside each hole

Step 4: Once the glue is dry, bend each pipe cleaner creating the spider legs

Have fun adding some creepy fun to your home!

Embellished witch's hat

Super fun and easy witch hat! 

I found this blank witch hat at JoAnn's. To decorate it I started with a coat of black spray paint, then I embellished it.

I took thin silver tinsel and wrapped it around the base. 

I hot glued a piece of netting, some silver tinsel and a black scrapbooking flower on the front.

The small frame is a scrapbooking embellishment. I printed "October 31st" onto some Halloween scrapbook paper and cut to fit the frame.

Spooktacular!

Oh, how I love Halloween!

Just for fun I'm linking up to:

These are a little late, Jilian and I ended up getting sick right before and right after Halloween. We are all better now but I kind of lost my blogging groove, but I'm back!
