Littles Halloween Crafts + Decor + DIY's 2021

 

Painted Pumpkins

  Upgraded last year pumpkins to this year by making the old, new. Video tutorial  on what I did to make them appear new,  here.

Pink Pumpkin Bucket Tutorial

Video tutorial on "How-To" upgrade a classic pumpkin bucket to make ours from 2019, can been seen, here.


Pumpkin Bucket BOO Craft Kit

A best seller from Mini Maker Design Co's Halloween Season this year which sold out, though next year in 2022 we'll be sure to open early for PRE ORDERS over at Mini Maker Design Co

Streamer + Ribbon Round Chandelier

This is a quick 20 minute littles Spooky friendly decor which helped keep the table clear so we could decorated cookies as a mini party of 4 for this years, "BOOkie" party. Video tutorial on how I made this one, here.

DIY Halloween Costume || Pink Pumpkin Bucket

The pink pumpkin bucket Halloween costume seemed to be a hit with our community! + just a fun way to bring our 2019 pink pumpkin boo basket to life. We used Studio DIY's paper Marche balloon tutorial in making it a solid round shape. Then we painted, decorated + styled it in our own way for the pink pumpkin bucket Halloween costume : )

Ghost Leaf Craft by @nellamonaco

Did our own twist to her white ghost leaf craft by painting faux leaves instead of real ones (so we could hang them into November) + used acrylic paints in our favorite colors for the ghost this Halloween Season (Pink, Dark Pink, Lilac, Soft Orange + Purple) which if you have any left over paint from a Mini Maker Design craft kit, would be a great 2 for 1 activity! 

DIY Littles Halloween Count down by Dear Jane Printable's

When Jessica at Dear Jane Printable's sent over her paper chain craft as a Halloween count down for littles, I knew this would be the perfect way to not only do a little mommy and me craft afternoon though also a great way to help my oldest (5yrs) know it's, "Halloween!" Loved what she created + let us make!

Hallow's Eve Paper Plate Craft

Since both girls are now trick-or-treating on foot + we've noticed going out during sunset is our best time to start, so I adjusted the craft tutorial from last year to recreate this moment by making a sunset sky behind with the black cat, moon + stars. Full video tutorial on how to make this one, here!

Thank you for being here during this crafty spooky season over the last few weeks. It's a joy to create with you. l hope you have a wonderful + safe Halloween with your littles! 


Warmly, Steph

Our ghost leaf craft is by @nellemanco! We just added on our own twist by painting faux leaves from the craft store instead of real ones in our favorite Halloween colors this season: Pink, Dark Pink, Soft Orange + Lilac. A super fun + simple craft littles can do by joining us on fall walks to collect leaves, paint them, + then glue on both the eyes + a mouth.

The day we made ours we also finished decorating our mantel! First time in the new house, so still getting to know the space, yet I love how open it feels walking into our living room! Details on our DIY garland resourced below.

BOOkie Party 2021! + even though due to the times we're living, it was a really small yet creative + mighty group of 4, still just as fun! Truly a delight to see the girls giggle with excitement as we decorated cookies. (I even frosted some!) We used food coloring to change our white frosting to our favorite Halloween colors this season: Peach, Soft Pink, Purple, Black + White. (all from Hobby Lobby) 

Also went for more of a "Spooky Ghost Theme Night" as the first time I threw this party together in 2019, we focused on decorating just ghost cookies. Plus, when Jessica at Celebration Stylist + I first talked about working together on creating something special, I knew "Spooky Sprinkle Collection" could be used in so many fun ways this boo holiday season, for all of us!

DIY Pink Pumpkin Bucket Halloween Costume

Supplies
Glue Gun
Black Construction paper
Paper Marche' (Flour, Warm Water, Magazine)


Directions:
Full video demo, here!


Instructions 
Day 1+2
Paste four layers of paper marche' (two layers at a time) by letting dry 24 hours in between each coat.
Followed OG tutorial on 36 in balloon turned costume with paper by StudioDIY

Day 3
Paint two coats of pink paint

Day 4
Cut out the Center + add details:

1) Cut out center (draw an equally lined x at the top with measuring tape) 

2) Then cut in where the "X" intersects and out to each line. This will make 4 triangle flaps for you. 

3) Cut out each triangle so you're left with an open hole.

4) Glue gun your face, eyes, nose + elastic straps. 

5) For the ribbon (bucket handles) glue gun just in front of the elastic straps so they cross over the front of the elastic bands. 


Enjoy Making! 

Warmly, Steph
