So my name is Chloe and I have stumbled across this blogger and decided to make a blog of my very own!
First of all I would like to say that I hope everyone had a very happy and safe Halloween! If you don't celebrate or like Halloween which I appreciate some people don't, then I hope you had a nice evening in on the 31st! Below I will add some of my Halloween crafts and how to create them.
The Spider: (it did have 8 legs but 2 fell off^)
What you will need:
- 1 polystyrene ball(the size of the ball changes the size of the spider's body)
- glue
- 8 black pipe cleaners (you can cut these to change the length of the spider's legs)
- black wool (textured is best)
- a pair of googly eyes
1. wrap your wool around the pollystyrene ball ( you can use glue if you wish)
2. once the whole ball is covered use glue to stick the last piece of wool to the existing wool full ball.
3. stick your pipe cleaners into the ball and bend them to make them look more life-like.
4. add glue to your googly eyes and stick them onto your preferred side of the spider.
FINISHED!
The Blooded Candle:
What you will need:
- one red candle
- one white candle
- matches and a matchbox
1. light your red candle with your match and let it burn for about a minute
2. drip the melted wax onto your white candle from the top
3. do this all the way around the candle until you are satisfied with the final result and it should look a bit like the above image.
FINISHED!
The Pumpkin:
What you will need:
- one pumpkin
- a knife & something to scrape out the innards( these should come in kits from your local store)
- a bowl
- a pencil
- tea light
- match & match box
1. find an image of the pumpkin carving you want to do(mine was Olaf from Frozen)
2. gently draw this onto your pumpkin with enough to leave a dent
3. get your knife and carve a hole into the top of your pumpkin
4. take the top off and scrape out all the innards and put them in a bowl
5. carefully cut out your design
6.light your tea light with your match and place in the pumpkin
7. put lid back on top of your pumpkin, if you are going to use the insides of the pumpkin put them in the fridge if not chuck them
FINISHED!
Last night I met up with my two of my friends and we went trick-or-treating( a first for me!) and then came back and had a funny night in, here are a picture from the night:
Today I visited one of my local charity shops and bought to shirts for a textiles project I am doing after school every Friday and a book which I hope is good! Whilst I was shopping today I heard Christmas songs playing in the shops with all the decorations up and picked up my first Christmas magazine, I think it shows that the season is nearly a month away now!
Also I would like to say a Happy 2nd Birthday to my dog Rita!
I hope to post a blog post once every week but as my life isn't very interesting and as I also have to go to school this may change to being once every month or once every two weeks.
Thank you for reading,
Chloe x
