hi,
I've just finished a great halloween party decoration that i'm really pleased with and it didnt cost about 10p to make which is the cost of the split pins jack.jpg

So what do you think? i'm planning on a making a few more different characters. all i used was one big sheet of white card, 13 split pins and some crayons! Please send pictures of yours or some more i deas for free or really cheap decorations.

    WOW! This looks great. Good effort! Did it take you long to make? I need to start thinking about 'spookifying' my house for halloween!
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
  • The 'little darlins' were helping so it took about 1 1/2hr from start to finish but it would of only taken about 20 mins, i cant wait to make more characters.

  • Wow, nice drawing skills :D

    Make cobwebs by teasing cotton wool out slowly, then stick it to the ceiling. I found drawing pins get stuck into ceilings, blu-tack doesn't hold very well (and anyway it'd be useless after being stuck to all the cotton wool!) sellotape probably the same ... hmm any other suggestions?
    I don't believe and I never did that two wrongs make a right
  • great job!! ... my nan makes alot of "home made" decorations mainly from paper mache, when i'm next home (about 2 weeks time) il take some photos and post them :D

    I bought a copy of Womans Weekly Christmas magazine the other day - it is full of things to make - from foodie presents, to edible decorations and other baubles.
