I can tell you, from the time I was little, I always thought I was a crafty person… I loved to make little signs and seasonal crafts. When I was 10 years old , I even turned my lemonade stand into a craft stand, trying to sell my beloved creations….. I really thought I had it going on…..
THEN CAME PINTEREST!!!!!
Then I realized, I was super crafty ONLY in my head but not so much in real life, how many of you have had epic pinterest fails…I’m sure most of you are raising your hands.
I have come up with 3 easy Halloween Crafts that take under 5 minute and cost less than $5 to create using a Westcott® Glue gun and Westcott® glue sticks ! These crafts are so easy, you can do them right along with your kids and create some amazing childhood memories!
Scary Topiary
What You Will Need
1 medium Styrofoam ball
1 tall candle holder
Halloween colored fake flowers – Think deep reds, purple, navy and black
Find flowers with eyeball centers (Michaels or on Amazon)
Westcott® Glue gun
Westcott® glue sticks
Directions
To get started, take all the tops of the flowers off the stems. Proceed to hot glue gun the bottoms of all flowers around the whole styrofoam ball – except for a small half dollar sized area. Once you have all you flowers glued on… move quickly and add a generous amount of hot glue to the top of your candle holder, immediately place the “bald” area of the ball right on top of the hot glue… hold for a few seconds.
Optional – add some plastic spiders to the base of the candle holder
Eye Ball Bowl
What You Will Need
Toy Golf Balls ( about 20+ balls)
Scary Googly eyes
Battery operated fairy lights (purple)
glass bowl
Westcott® Glue gun
Westcott® glue sticks
Directions
Simple hot glue the “googly eyes” to the center of the toy golf balls, place in your glass bowl. Weave fairy light throughout the bowl of eyeballs
Crow Feather Candle
What You Will Need
1 child’s black feathered boa (found at the dollar store)
1 Fall scented candle (found at Micheal’s)
Westcott® Glue gun
Westcott® glue sticks
Directions
Starting at the tops, quickly add about a two inch section of glue on the glass jar (since the glass is colder, glue will harden quickly, to work fast), proceed to glue and wrap around the jar until you get to the bottom.
Add a large amount of glue to finish off the end and snip off any excess.
