Flowers for birthday: Fun Foam Flower Straws, kids craft ideas

1. Choose two or three flowers in different sizes for each straw.
2. Punch a hole in the middle of each flower.  If the hole punch doesn't reach the center of the flower, fold the flower in half and slip the center into the hole punch but only half way.  Squeeze to make your hole.  When you open the flower back up, it will have a whole hole.
3. Slide the flower shapes onto the straw so that the smallest at the top of the straw and the largest flowers are at the bottom.

Hint:  If using straws that bend, slide the flowers up from the bottom of the straw and stop just before the bend.

CREEPY CUTE LEAF GHOSTS

 

CREEPY CUTE LEAF GHOSTS

Scare up a little fun by adding these haunted holiday decorations to your holiday table. You can even write peoples' names on them to turn them into place cards. Just coat the leaves with sparkly white frost and then draw on ghost faces!

Supplies: 

Silk leaves  (found in craft and department stores)
White fabric paint
White or silver glitter
Paintbrush or foam brush
Scissors
Waxed paper
Black permanent marker

Here's how:

1. Turn each leaf so the points face up. Use the scissors to round the top to resemble a ghost's head.

2. Working on a waxed paper-covered surface, paint the leaves white (front and back). If needed, give them a second coat.

3. While the paint is still tacky, sprinkle the surfaces with glitter.

4. Once the paint dries, use the marker to draw on ghostly facial features.

Crafty jewelry: bead and paper necklace for Halloween, kids craft ideas

BOO-TIFUL HALLOWEEN CHARM BRACELET

Crafty jewelry: bead and paper necklace for Halloween, kids craft ideas

The perfect accessory for any Halloween party, these gorgeously ghastly charms really make a statement! These are a great accompaniment to a witch costume or a fun and creative craft for a Halloween party. Making the charms will require help from Mom, but once assembled, they're easy for young crafters to string onto beading elastic.

Supplies: 

Colored pencils or markers
Thin jeweler's wire or craft wire (flexible enough to bend without pliers)
Glue stick or glue dots
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Pencil (for drawing the charms)
Beading elastic
Pony beads
Drop of craft glue

Here's how:

	1. For each charm, cut out matching pairs of miniature Halloween symbols, such as mini pumpkins or skulls (those shown here measure about 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inches wide/tall). An easy way to accomplish this is to put two squares of paper back to back so you can cut out both at once. Then, your child can use colored pencils or markers to embellish the charms as she likes. You can even create candy corn by gluing strips of yellow, orange, and white paper together, as shown, and then cutting the shapes from it.
	2. Cut a 2-1/2-inch length of wire for each charm. Loosely bend each length in half and twist the ends together a few times about 1/8 inch below the bend to form a small loop, as shown. Use glue dots to sandwich the ends of one of these little hangers between the two pieces of each charm. (Trim the wire ends with scissors if they are too long). Firmly squeeze together the two layers of the charm to make sure they are well adhered to the wire and each other.
	3. Cut a length of beading elastic that is several inches longer than the circumference of your child's wrist.
	4. With each charm, slide a pony bead down over the wire loop so that it rests just above the charm. String the charms onto the elastic, spacing them apart with several pony beads.
	5. When the bracelet is the desired length, tightly tie the ends of the beading elastic together with an overhand knot, leaving a little bit of slack so the charms will dangle. Use a dab of glue to secure the knot, if needed. Trim the elastic ends about 3/4 inch from the knot and thread them back through the adjacent beads to hide them. Source:sheknows.com
