Spooky Glowing EyesWhat you’ll need:
• Toilet paper or paper towel rolls
• Glow sticks (available at any dollar store or Wal-Mart)
• Scissors
This is the easiest and neatest craft for Halloween. All you do is cut some cool and creepy eye holes out of the paper towel roll, place a lit glow stick inside, and place them around your yard and in your bushes. Viola – you have glowing peepers creeping out at you in the dark!
**TIP: use tiny scissors to cut out the eye holes for more precision.
This is also super creepy and super easy to create.
What you’ll need:
• Balloon, filled with water
• Old nylons, preferably white or black
• Glow stick
Cut nylons into two separate legs. Fill a balloon with water, and place a glow stick inside the balloon. Tie the balloon shut, and then place the balloon inside one leg of the nylon. Then hang from your ceiling, or even better – from the branches of your best Halloween tree outside!
Garbage Bag Spider Web
This is another great craft, as most of us have garbage bags lying around.
What you’ll need:
• Garbage bag, trimmed along the bottom & sides so that you have a single square of black plastic
• Scissors
• Black felt pen
Fold the square on the diagonal, then fold it on the diagonal again. And one more time - fold it on the diagonal again.
Now mark it up like this: Then cut the shaded parts only. You will unfold it and see a cool black spider web! Hang it on your window and adorn it with some fake rubber spiders!
