Recycle Plastic Shopping Bags For Halloween!

I cut each plastic grocery bag into 3 parts to wrap candies for Halloween and tied them up with beads & ribbon or fall leaves. It is another great way to reuse shopping bags from anywhere and to make some cute bags of treats to give out to the kids that come by to trick or treat!

Halloween Art!

I cut a recycled water bottle and bend the legs to resemble a spider. 

The I use Krylon black spray paint outdoors to paint the bottles leaving the bottle top on.

Then I use Elmer's glue on the top of the cap to glue two eyeballs.

 Once it is all done I hang them on white painted tree limbs that I stick right in the dirt in my flower bed and hang the spiders on with fishing line. They move in the wind and look wonderful.

It will look great when I add small fairy lights so they can light up at night for Halloween.

Easy to make and fun for the Trick or Treaters!

Making A Life Size Candy Land Game!

First of all I cut 3 holes in pillow cases for my grandkids to help me paint. These make great smocks for the mess. I bought all different color spray paints and stepping stones for the yard.

I had the kids paint all the stepping stones on top of a brown paper roll. Once they were dry I laid the stones in a path.

 

Once I had the path laid out then I began to decorate with all the seasons that I already had decorations such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Valentines, etc. If you don't already have those things then the party store is a place to find things for your candy land.

 Having this in our yard made the kids want to play outside and kept them entertained too! Plus my grandson liked it so much he had one of his birthday parties here too.
