5 Fun and Frugal Halloween and Fall Crafts

 

First some business...I've been busy this week and lacking the motivation to write a weigh in day post even though I should since... I lost ONE pound!!! I'm super excited! Hopefully I'll lose another next week. Now on to the crafting fun...

 

 

 

5 Fun and Frugal Halloween and  Fall Crafts....

 

1. Spooky Halloween Ghost-
Materials you need: paper plate, toilet paper, tape and black crayon/marker. (Optional hole punch and yarn to hang them up)
This a super easy craft, just draw a spooky ghost face on your paper plate, then take long strips of toilet paper and tape to the back. Voila! A spooky ghost! I hole punched a hole on the top, and strung the ghost with white yarn, so that it would be easier to hang.

2. Stained "Glass" Leaves

3. Paper Plate Pumpkin-
Materials you need: paper plate, orange and black construction paper, glue stick.
Another super easy craft, just rip up orange construction paper, or you could cut them to make it neater. KBeaner helped me rip up the paper (lots of fun) then cut out some black eyes, nose and mouth for your pumpkin. Then let your little one go crazy with the glue stick and decorate the paper plate.

4.Fall Puzzle Tree-
Materials you need: paper, paint, old puzzle pieces, glue and crayons/markers.
First we collected all of the random puzzle pieces we have laying around the house. Then KBeaner painted them autumn colors. While they were drying KBeaner drew a picture of a tree (with no leaves) then she glued the painted puzzle pieces onto the tree to look like leaves.
It was fun and a great way to reuse those random puzzle pieces.

5. Spooky Glitter Decorations-
Materials- wax paper, glue and glitter. optional: paper and markers to make the designs.
Make a design on a piece of paper then cover with wax paper, let your little one trace the drawing with glue, and then go crazy with glitter! Once dry, trim and hang up!
Now I had seen on Pinterest someone had made window clings with glitter glue and plastic wrap, I tried  it and they didn't stick to the windows so I put them on wax paper so I could cut and then hang.

Hope you all try these crafts, and have lots of fun with them!
