halloween candy ideas

Hey everyone I made these for a craft show I did and they sold like hotcakes.  So I thought I would share idea for something special for the kiddys. 

 First is Mummy Hershey bars. Hershey bar crate paper and googly eyes

 Scarecrow candies M&M sand Sixlets

and Monster popcorn construction paper google eyes microwave popcorn

cheap chain

This chain is so easy to make.  It is also very light weight.
what you need pipe insulation from wal-mart, a pair of scissors.
this insulation is already got sticky stuff on it so you don't even need any adhesive

 Then you cut this to pieces about 1/2 wide

my mom cutting away

then you just put the pieces together to form your chain. You can make them as long or short as you want to

Whatever Wednesday ( Happy Halloween)

I hope that everyone has a safe Halloween. I know my kids are so excited to go out tonight. If only if wasn't so cold and windy here in Indiana.
Last Saturday I helped host a Halloween Party for Girl Scouts. Today I am posting pictures from it. Enjoy -Mindy

We did a bucket toss game.

They decorated pumpkin cookies with orange icing and candy corn.

We did another games where they picked a number and won tickets ( which they cashed inf or prizes later)

We did a Mystery Bucket.

and a craft. Pumpkin Picture Frames.

Of course we had to do a sucker tree but we used a pumpkin for it.

We set up a background to take pictures of everyone.

They turned out so cute.

After they played games they got to turn in their tickets for prizes.

Overall it went really well and I think all the girls had fun!

Make It Monday ( Sucker Pumpkin)

I was trying to come up with some easy games for the Girl Scout Halloween Party we had on Saturday. I wanted to do a sucker tree so I decided to make it out of a pumpkin. It was really easy to do. Take a nail and make holes in the pumpkin and then stick suckers in the holes. We marked some with black dots and the kids that pulled that sucker got a prize. Simple, easy and the kids love it!

Thrifty Thursday ( Halloween Mystery Bucket)

My friend Jane and I are getting ready to host a Halloween Party for all the Daisy's and Brownie's in our service unit. We are expecting around 50 girls. Today I made a mystery bucket for one of the games. It was really easy. First I bought a bucket.

I put some fun stuff in it ( candy, small toys, etc)

I wrapped the outside with some green tissue paper

I cut out a black circle to cover the top. In the middle of the circle I cut out a square so they can rech down and get a prize. I taped some green tissue paper on it and cut it to make it fringed.

I cut the green paper around the edge to be fringed also.

thrifty thursday blue jean pumpkin

Blue jean pumpkin.  I did not take pictures for a step by step because this is so easy.
this is what you will need:
pair of old blue jeans with at least one leg to cut.
heavy thread and a needle
plastic bags

First find a old pair of blue jeans.  Cut off about a foot of the leg.  Make a running stitch around one end with heavy thread.  Now pull the thread to make the end close like you would to make a yo yo. Secure the thread so it doesn't come loose and tie it off.
Next stuff with plastic bags.
Then make another running stitch around the opening and pull it closed.  Secure and tie off the thread and you are done.  See how simple. 

Make-It-Monday ( Bat Bags)

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Stephanie and I did the craft show on Saturday and I slept most of the day Sunday ( Surgery went well but it is only 2 weeks today and for some reason I am so tired right now). Anyways one of the things I had at the craft show were these little bat bags. I stuffed them full of candy. They would be cute to make for a class party or to give out so the special little kids in your life.
First cut out 2 squares and 2 wings. Pin it together.

Using you sewing machine sew together, leaving the top of the bat open so you can fill with goodies.
Cut out some shapes for your face and hot glue on.

You could add a little string on the top if you wanted so it could be carried around. This is a great project for kids to make also. Instead of sewing you can hot glue.

Whatever Wednesday

I am so sorry that we are behind in posts. Stephanie's son has been admitted to the hospital and I have been really busy. Today I am going to post a cute craft to make.

 

All you need are Hershey Bars, white paper and either baby socks or material. Decorate how ever you want and you have a great stocking stuffer. You can also make these for Halloween using green paper. They are sure to be a hit....after all who doesn't like chocolate?
