handmade Halloween: of ladybugs and chestnut spiders

Thursday, October 28, 2010 – Filed under: costumes,crafts with kids,decor,decorations,halloween,handmade ::

To wear: a handmade ladybug costume that I wished came in an adult size. Well, I guess since my mom made it – it could :) Maybe next year!

To set the mood: a fabulous “mystery lady” and her black crow, and a handmade spider my Mister made, using a chesnut, toothpicks and some soft yarn.

Tonight we’re going to tackle some fluttering white ghosts to hang in our trees, using leftover white fabric, and wool… and a giant web, sewing string to a giant black poster board.

How are your Halloween preparations going?

    So very, very sweet Jen.
    Our children all helped one another making their costumes this year… Mom didn't have to do hardly anything:(

    Cute costume!
    When my boys where younger I made them every year too. I still have a few of them…
