I was wondering if anyone else has made anything for Halloween. I made a wreath for the front door a couple of weeks ago.

    The wreath is lovely. I've just started making some Halloween tree decorations and I also want to make some little gifts for the table as we are having a family party.

    I have a plan in mind to do something with some witches brooms - so hoping that comes out well. If it does I'll take a picture and share it.

    Glad someone brought Halloween up :) I am planning on making a few bits. Most ideas are from pinterest....

    Here is what I made yesterday http://www.pinterest.com/pin/467670742525994945/

    They are super cute.

    Then today I am in the process of making a spider pinata - its taking so long because I have nowhere for it to dry as a whole so have done one half today and will do the other tomorrow. Will post a photo once its finished :)

    I am also making my baby's costume, I have all the bits for it but not started yet

    I love your door wreath by the way, really sweet x

    Aww Lauren I LOVE them! A little cluster of scared ghosts! They look adorable. How tall are they? ... and ... is that regular white bandage wrapped around them? If so, how did you secure it?

    Have left a comment on your Pinterest picture ~ TC. xxx - just in case you wonder who the heck it is. lol

    Hehe. The jars are quite small, I used my baby daughters food pots :) and yes, just a normal bandage, it was in my partners first aid box that he keeps in his van. Then purchased the googly eyes from asda for around 80p

    I used a craft glue to stick them on, it holds really well. Much better than expected x

    The little ghost jars look adorable! Might have a go myself if I can find any empty jars :D
