Frankenstein Block

This awesome craft was found at The Idea Room designed by Amy.  Who I must say makes some cute crafts!  She has great ideas for kid projects too.  Check her out at The Idea Room.     I did this a little different than Amy, cause a few things didn’t work for me.  But check out both ways and decide what works best for you.

Here’s what you need:

Glass block with a whole in bottom

Green paint

Sponge brush

Mod Podge

Small set of Christmas lights- Big Lots has a perfect size for $1.50

Printed Frankenstein silhouette – you can get his at The Idea Room by clicking here

x-acto knife and scissors

black sharpie

Clear enamel spray

Start by painting a coat of your green paint on the block.

Let it dry (use your blow-dryer to speed things up)

Apply a second coat

While that is drying cut out your silhouette.

Touch up edges with your black sharpie.

Now mod podge the silhouette to the glass block.  Let dry.

After dry, spray the enamel over top to seal it all.  Might want two coats of the enamel.

Stick the lights in and wait for dark

He looks bandged.  I like it!  Spooky!!!

Halloween Tulle Wreath

Halloween Tulle Wreath

I found this wreath, actually my awesome friend Katie found it, but there was no tutorial.  So I made one for y’all.  It doesn’t really need one though, it’s easy.  Katie found it here at Something To Do -Blogspot Great idea Jamie!  So classy looking.

I put a little Lynn spin on it and added a few more colors of tulle.

Here’s how you do it.

1 coat hanger

Duct tape

2 yard of tulle- colors you choose

Take your coat hangers, cut them, and bend them into circles. Use the duct tape to hold the ends together.  (Don’t use the blue painters tape like in the pic, didn’t hold of course)

Cut 5 inch wide by 10 inch long strips of tulle.  Strips can really be whatever length and width you like.  Sometimes it looks cool to mix up the width, when you are doing different colors.

Begin to tie knots around hanger.  You can tie the knots like in the pictures or just knot.  Either way will work, I just liked how this looked.

Pull tight.  Push the tulle knots close together to make it thick.  If you have a coat hanger and duct tape at home, all you will need is the tulle.  And, the tulle will cost about $1.50-$3! Nice inexpensive wreath for you door.

Here are a few more fun wreaths that are Halloweenie or could be easily with a color change.
