More Halloween Fun and a Tutorial

I mentioned before how we don't have much by way of Halloween decorations. I do, however, have craft paper, glass candle holders, chop sticks, and crayons. Today I made a center piece for our dining table using these things. And I took pictures along the way for a tutorial. 

First I took my orange paper, glass candle holder and tape. 


I put the cup in the middle of the paper like so...


Then I cut out some of the paper so it looked like this. 


Then I pulled the paper up around the cup and taped it in place (on the sides and inside the cup)

I then drew on a face with a sharpi.


Next I took my chop sticks....


And my black paper (or white paper with black crayon) 


And cut out various sized ovals and circles. These will be petals. I took one of the smaller 'petals' and wrapped it around the small point of the chop stick and taped it in place.


Keep adding petals to look like a rose. Then take your green paper and wrap it around the 'stem' of the flower, taping it in place.


Make as many flowers as you want. Put them in the pumpkin glass, add some marbles, top with some curly green paper if you want and this is what your center piece will kinda look like. 



Now, I don't have a tutorial for this next part, but I took the decorations into the kitchen as well and cut up some ghosts and bats. 


It's starting to look a lot like Halloween =D
