Sugar Skull clay pot.


This week has been a super craft week! I was able to finish 2 projects I started last week, and help Eman finish his costume. 
I love the way my sugar skull terra cotta planter turned out, and Evans costume is just what he wanted. And I got in some free motion too!! :) 
I just love Halloween!

Halloween Decorations

One more post because I love it so much. Information on how I made them in previous posts. 

Halloween Garland

Last Monday I also purchased these doilies at the .99 cents store and I knew I wanted to make garland with them. Very easy project. I bought 4 packs so $4.00 plus tax and I already had black yarn scraps. So I put my IDT foot down and sewed away. Super quick super cheap end result very nice. 

Halloween Wreath

Almost all items purchased 2013 at the .99 cents store. 

I had the jumbo hoop from my old wreath. Spray painted it black. 
And the spider is from Micheals Craft store last year but I am sure they have one this year too. 

One spool of ribbon
Feather boa
Bats
Large bow

All bought last week. 

I taped the ribbon in loops in the inside of the hoop so it can be removed. Boa I got glued to the outside of hoop. Ribbon I used the metal twist tie from the packing to affix it to my hoop. Bats I got glued on. 
I laced the lace thru the hoop center. Then sewed the ends together.

Hang
Love! 
Total cost $5.00 ish having owned the lace and wreath and spider.
