Last Halloween Craft... Witches Broom

Okay, I had to get at least one witch broom put together this year. This broom was SO EASY, and made with stuff I found around my home. I started with a large stick that I found a couple weeks ago while on a hike, and some brown paper grocery bags.


I cut the bags into long strips, 3/4 of the way up the bags.


I wrinkled up my bags, and then straightened them out...




I painted them lightly with a quick coat of black...


I added some glitter, to make them pop...



I folded down the top inch of my bags/strips and secured them all together with a few staples.


I attached them to my "broom handle" with some hot glue.


Fancied up the broom with tulle and fabric strips...




The completed project...




Quick and easy and free...just the way I like it!

One Dollar Wednesday...Wendy Witch

I'm so late posting today! Have you ever had super good intentions of making a FABULOUS something, and when you gave it "your all" it still didn't turn out? Well I found a picture of THE CUTEST Halloween Crows on the Internet. I thought I'd throw something similar together.



After hours and hours and hours of trying, I decided to start over!

This time, I had no idea what I'd put together before I went to the dollar store. I went to "Honks" dollar store, and was inspired to make a witch! Look at all the great stuff I got there...


Well I started by sewing a face into the heel of one of the green socks...


I added eyes and closed the sock up...


I made a wig by wrapping some yarn around a rectangle... my rectangle happens to be a favorite childhood book...Thanks Mom!


Gave that wig a trim...


Sewed some witch clothes and a hat with black felt...


Added a tag, also from the dollar store. (Aren't they CUTE!)



I tied her onto my super cute polka-dot bucket, with lots of tulle, and ended up with this...


I think she'll be adorable holding all our Halloween goodies!

Around the Town Tuesday featuring... A Wild Witchy Weekend

Ohhh what a FUN, fabulous weekend I had! My bestest friends came up to visit for a Wild Witchy Weekend. We all got dressed up as witches, and joined HUNDREDS of other witches at Gardner Village.



We saw the CUTEST decorative items...





We made lots of new witch friends...








We even happened upon a few FAMOUS WITCHES...




There were Goblins and Ghouls too...





I think we'll have to make this "WITCH~FEST" and annual tradition!
