Gearing up for Halloween

So this is super easy and way cheap. If you don't want the mess of Jack o Lanterns this makes a great decoration for your porch.

When you are at the Grocery Store next. Be sure to get some extra paper bags. I usually get the small ones or the medium ones.

When ready to make these you will need a black Pen and some scissors Also I usually pick up the battery operated tea lights from dollar tree. DO NOT USE REAL CANDLES

While the Bag is flat let the kids (or you) draw on the faces.
Very Carefully Cut them out.
Make sure the Mouth or Eyes are big enough to slid in the Battery operated light source of your choosing.

Open the bag. You can either cut the tops of the bags into a pattern and leave open or We like to gather in the top of the bag and tie it off with Yarn. This way it looks like a Pumpkin.

these create really awesome decorations and you can vary them to set on your walkway lights if you want.

Have Fun!!!

  1. You can put sand in the bottom so they don't blow away in the wind. You can change the design to adapt for any holiday. I love these, they are so pretty!
