Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. You get to dress up fun and eat candy until your sick - whats not to love? This year I really wanted to do a little decorating and thought I'd be fun to make some things on my own!
For the "bat bunting" I used pages from an old (falling apart) book. Fold the paper in half, then cut out your shape, once you have one done you can use it as a pattern.
I looked up bat outlines on google and just traced a shape onto some thick black paper, cut out and glued to one of the buntings
Open the bunting, lay the string across the middle, smear some glue on one side, and close (adhearing the insides together).
Yay! The "boo" one is just as easy...
Start the same way as the first one, but cutting out a triangular shape instead. Glue onto the string and then paint words and shapes on with craft paint and let dry - simple!
BOO! :)
Are you decorating for Halloween?
I love the use of the old book pages! So fun for Halloween! We decorate with mostly pumpkins and cinnamon!
