My son has been absolutely obsessed with art projects lately. Last night he made an Iron Man mask out of pipe cleaners before dinner and the afternoon before it was a long painted mural. Thanks to Collin at Hip2Save.com, I learned of a free resource for craft ideas on the internet.
The website is www.favecrafts.com. When you click on “Free eBooks” there is one called Homemade Halloween Decorations: Blogger Edition 2010 eBook. It is a collection of seven homemade Halloween decorations that are fun to make and that save you money rather than buying decorations from the store. My favorites are the Haunted Ghost Globes and the Trick or Treat painted pots that you can fill with candy. The Haunted Ghost Globes are like snow globes, but with ghosts and glitter floating around in them.
Please help me keep my son busy. Share any fun ideas for low cost art projects that you have in the comment section.
Karla, this one is really easy, and my kids make tons of them! Have Colby put both hands flat on a piece of paper, fingers together, both thumbs touching. Trace his hands. It winds up looking like a spooky bat! The kids have been coloring them in, cutting them out, we put googly eyes on them, and hang them all over the house. Really cute!
Thanks Erin! Great idea!
