Homemade Halloween Crafts and Decorations

Filed under: Free Gifts — Tags: , , , , , , — SusanCarroll @ 11:06 am

Since Halloween is coming in a couple of weeks I thought I’d share a couple of ways to both recycle some of those nasty Styrofoam egg cartons and make a 2 Halloween decorations.

For these crafts, you need a clean egg carton. You can use either a Styrofoam or a cardboard one but if you want to hang your bats outside from the trees the Styrofoam ones will be better.

Egg Carton Bat

  1. Cut out three of the egg cups keeping them attached together.
  2. Cut out the front and back of the two outside cups by creating a
    scallop shape. This will form your bat’s wings.
  3. Paint your bat black with craft paint. Again, if you want to hang
    them outside, you will want to use waterproof paint.
  4. Once the paint is dry, you can paint on a scary face with white
    paint or glue on googly eyes.
  5. Use a pair of scissors to poke a hole in the top of the middle cup.
  6. Take a piece of string and make a knot large enough that it won’t
    pull through the hole and put the string in the hole.

Egg Carton Spider

  1. Cut out one of the egg cups from the carton.
  2. Paint your spider black and wait for it to dry. Paint on eyes or glue
    googly eyes on him.
  3. Use the tip of pointed scissors to make four small holes on each side of
    the egg cup.
  4. Insert a pipe cleaner in each of the holes and twist the pipe cleaners
    from the inside to form a knot of sorts so the pipe cleaners do not come out
    of the holes.
  5. Then bend the legs so your spider will stand on his own.

Happy Halloween!

Funny Political Picture

Filed under: My Thoughts — Tags: , , — SusanCarroll @ 8:40 am

Last month I posted a funny campaign video and got a comment from Michael that he’d like to see more.

Since then I’ve been watching for more funny campaign videos however since most are poking fun at a particular candidate and I’m not taking sides on this blog I haven’t found anything appropriate.

Yesterday however I did get a picture from my daughter that I think you will get a chuckle from. And below the picture I’ve placed the comment my other daughter replied when she first saw it.

“So that’s what they mean by trickle down economics.”

Please feel free to leave a comment whether you agree or think we’re being unfair.

To Your Success,
Susan

P.S. In casy you’re wondering why I’ve placed this picture and the last video un “My Thoughts” instead of “Just For Fun” it’s because while they may be funny (sorta) I think they are also unfortunately true.
