Year after year I plan to make some super easy, fun and crafty ghosties. And year after year, I plum forget. But really I ask, what is Halloween without proper wee ghosties floating about?
Oooooooooooo...
You all know how to make these, I am certain.
There is nothing to them at all.
Alas, when a person wants to check out, into crafty bliss, a super easy craft hits the spot. Just what I needed this evening.
So, into my haunted cottage studio I went...
I gathered white fabric scraps, doilies, hot glue gun, ribbon and cotton balls...
I cut white fabric scraps into about 5" x 5" squares...
Then I took about 4 cotton balls, and placed them in the center of my fabric square, and then simply gathered the fabric together, like so...
Then I tied the ghostie shut with a ribbon, voila!
My ghosties wanted doily collars.
So, I took a doily and cut the center out, then I cut the doily rim into 4 pieces...
I then ran a bead of hot glue under the neck tie, going all the way around. One piece of my cut doily went perfectly around one ghost neck, gathering a little bit as I went around.
Then I used a sharpie to make oval eyes and an oval mouth...
I was not in the mood to search for my fishing line, so I hot glued a bit of white string to the tops of my ghosts, for hanging.
And just like that, ghosties flew in for the season!
It's the simplest little projects that bring the spirit of the season to life, don't you think?
Boy I needed that.
Boooooooo!
I can't even believe it is going to be October.
This time, all of a sudden creeps up so fast, doesn't it?
I am getting so party excited!!!!
I am so delighted so many are signing up, and there is still oodles of time for more to jump on the wagon ;)
I must go take part in the wrestling match with my pups! They are having so much fun without me, see you sooooon!
Love, V
ps: My Ipod in the studio was playing Beirut as I typed this. I could faintly hear it in the office. I had forgotten all about it, as I had not heard them in so long! Soooo gooood! Such a nice treat to refind music you love.
pss: Thank you for sending positive thoughts for Coco (my friends' furry family member). I will keep you posted. Heartstrings.
