Glowing Eyeball DIY

BOOOOOO!

So it's almost Fall...and let me tell you I can't wait!

I'm blonde, and ghostly pale..I love the fall leaves, hoodies, Crock Pot cooking and Football :)

BUT..Halloween is my least favorite holiday.

However, I do enjoy it to some degree because my boys love it.

AND..it gives me an excuse to craft...like I need one LOL!

So let's get to talking about my awesome Eyeball!

I found this 12 pack of plastic eyeballs at the Dollar Tree.

They have 3 different eyeball colors to pick from...

I think they were Yellow (like pictured), Red and Blue...but I could be wrong. 

Then I used a flame less tea light candle that I already had.

I got some help from my handsome assistant...

 Crafty Soccer Dad

We started with a drill bit that we thought was big enough..

it wasn't.

So we tried a bigger one in the already drilled hole and..

 Oops! It cracked!

Oh well, we had 11 more, so we tossed that one aside and started with the largest drill bit this time.

 It worked!

Final step consisted of putting the Eyeball on the flameless tea light, and turning on the light.  Yep, that easy.

Ok so here's the final result..

Drum roll please....

I just put the Eyeball on the tea light, turned it on and BAM!

How cool is that?

Ok it's cool but not as cool as when you turn the lights off..

That is so COOL!

You could use these as little nightlights in the bathroom if you wanted...you know if you are into that sort of thing.

I have two boys, so I'm sure they will want one in their rooms.

I plan on having my studly assistant drill holes in all the rest and I will put them all over my house around Halloween time.

I will also put them outside on my porch too, maybe in my yard :)

You could put them in your Jack-O-Lanterns mouth too!

Lots of possibilities, but over all, this was a fun, very quick, and very inexpensive craft that will for sure be a huge hit!

Happy Crafting!

Easy Paper Treat Boxes

Treat Boxes



Ok they aren't reallyyyy boxes..but I don't know what else to call them :)

These are so easy to make and fun as well.  I made these for my youngest son's Pre-School Class for Halloween.  They are filled with yummy treats :)

Let's get started!

I got this super duper cute scrapbook paper at Craft Warehouse, it's 12x12.
Isn't it Spooktackular!?!

Then you'll need scissors, pinking shears and double sided tape (I've also used Glue Dots)

Next I cut the paper into 4 equal squares.



Now..put a strip of double sided tape along one edge of the square..make sure it's right up to the edge. The length of the tape should be just a little bit shorter than the full length of the paper.

Roll the paper into a tube and secure the paper over the tape.

It should look like a toilet paper roll now (P.S. you can do this with tp rolls too if you'd rather)

Pinch one side down, then open up and put a piece of double sided tape in the tube on the inside edge, press together so it's closed shut.

Now fill up the tube with treats :) This is what I was able to stuff into mine!





Now turn the tube 90 degrees and repeat process with tape..put a strip into the inside edge of the tube and pinch closed..it should look like this :)

Now cut the edges with Pinking Shears and you're done!

So easy, all you needed was paper, 3 strips of tape, and scissors...oh and yummy goodies to fill up the treat box..can't forget those!

You can punch a hole with a hole punch in the corner and add a tag...

that's my plan but I haven't made one yet..but it will say

"Trick or Treat, from your friend Jackson"

Or something corny like that :)

Have an awesome day guys!

Happy Crafting!

Halloween Decor #3

Halloween Decor #3

Hey Ladies..and Hubby!

Sorry I've been gone so long..I had my first Craft Show of the season this past weekend and I waited far too long to get all my product ready! So needless to say I was super busy last week!

Today I am going to show you these cute little Candle/Candy Holders :)

I chose to put Flameless Candles in mine because my boys already have had far too much Halloween Candy and Halloween is still a couple weeks out.

These are the Flameless Candles that change color which is super fun for the kids :)

Pumpkin

Ghost

Spider Web

Here are the supplies I used:

Small Terracotta Pots

Small Glass Candle Holders 

Acrylic Paint (Black, Orange, & White)

E6000 (glue)

Colored Rice

First I painted my pots, which I really enjoyed, painting is so much fun!  I was going to do a Candy Corn one too but figured 3 was enough, but it's still on my mind so I will probably end up doing it.

Next, after the paint was fully dry, I glued the small glass candle holders onto the pots with E6000, love that stuff..it's awesome!

Then fill with whatever your heart desires!  

I wanted to fill them with Candy Corn, but like I said, I know my boys would munch on it and it'd be gone before you know it.

I put Colored White Rice in mine.  To see how I colored my rice you can follow the same steps as my Colored Noodles Tutorial HERE

All in all this was a cheap, quick and fun project.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy Crafting!
