I made a neat little Halloween creation that had no sewing involved. It took a few hours because paint had to dry. This was a really simple project. It was also super cheap....I think it may have cost $20!!! First I'll talk about the base!
The base was way cheap. I brought home two boxes from work, then covered them in a white vinyl table cloth. We have a lot of wind and weather here in utah so I completely covered the boxes in case of wet weather and taped the table cloth to keep it from flying away. I then wrote Happy Halloween with orange paint. I taped the little scarecrows on and hot glued all the leaves on. I bought two bags of leaves. I didn't use them all so I can have some for next year. So that's it. boxes, table cloth, tape and decorations!
Next, the pumpkins!!!
This is my spider. I started with painting the whole thing black with acrylic paint. I did two coats. I used hot glue to place the eyes and legs. I used 4 pipe cleaners for legs. I then used red paint for the mouth.....his tongue is sticking out lol. Very easy, however it took a while to dry.
My witch. Take a pumpkin and paint it green! While it's drying, start the skirt. I used elastic and tulle. I tied the tulle to the elastic. the amount of each depends on the size of your pumpkin. I again did two coats of paint on the punpkin. If you don't the orange will show through. Once Dry, I glued the skirt and hat on. I then glued on the hair and eyes, followed by painting on the mouth.
There. Simple, easy, and cheap!!! Hope you like my creation and hope everyone has a Wonderful Halloween!!!!!
