Eyes On The Prize
1. Lay white paper bags flat. Attach black vinyl letter stickers to spell “ojo,” and glue on googly eyes for pupils. In Spanish, “ojo” means be careful!”
2. Cut pieces of other vinyl letters to make eyelashes.
3. Trim tops of bags with scissors so they look like hair.
4. Place battery-operated tea lights inside the bags
Spinning SpiritsHung these friendly paper ghosts from the ceiling, and they will swirl, sway, and spook all night long. To make, draw a spiral ghost shape on a sheet of white poster board, and cut it out. Cut eyes and a mouth from black construction paper and attach them with glue
Use a butterfly-shaped punch to cut black and white paper. Then double-stick-tape your swarm of moths to glass jars.
Spider Web Placemats
You can make your own fun placemats using nothing but puff paint and parchment paper. Just make a web shape onto the paper with the puff paint, then let it set overnight so you can peel the paper off the back. Place underneath a clear plate to show off the design!
Paper Bat Garland
o make this garland, download this bat stencil, then trace the shape onto a piece of black craft paper. Cut out the shape with scissors to create as many bats as you want. Then, place the stencil back on top of each bat and use a bone folder to make creases along the dotted lines on the stencil. Fold the creases opposite ways on each wing to make the wings 3D. Attach each bat to a long piece of string with tiny black clothespins.
