{"product_id":"2940014371452","title":"How To Make Your Own Spooky Halloween Crafts","description":"Bats And Spiders And Such\u003cbr\u003eEgg Carton Bat\u003cbr\u003eFor this craft, you will need a clean egg carton. You can use either a Styrofoam or a cardboard\u003cbr\u003eone, but if you want to hang your bats outside from the trees, the Styrofoam ones will be better.\u003cbr\u003eCut out three of the egg cups keeping them attached together. Cut out the front and back of the\u003cbr\u003etwo outside cups. This will form your bat’s wings. Paint your bat black with craft paint. Again, if\u003cbr\u003eyou want to hang them outside, you will want to use waterproof paint. Once the paint is dry, you\u003cbr\u003ecan paint on a scary face with white paint or glue on googly eyes.\u003cbr\u003eUse a pair of scissors to poke a hole in the top of the middle cup. Take a piece of string and\u003cbr\u003emake a knot large enough that it won’t pull through the hole and put the string in the hole. Now\u003cbr\u003eyou have your egg carton bat ready to be hung from wherever you want. Make several of these\u003cbr\u003efor maximum spookiness!\u003cbr\u003eEgg Carton Spider\u003cbr\u003eYou can also use an egg carton to make a spider. For this craft, you just need to cut out one of\u003cbr\u003ethe egg cups from the carton. Paint your spider black and wait for it to dry. Paint on eyes or\u003cbr\u003eglue googly eyes on him.\u003cbr\u003eUse the tip of pointed scissors to make four small holes on each side of the egg cup. Insert a\u003cbr\u003epipe cleaner in each of the holes and twist the pipe cleaners from the inside to form a knot of\u003cbr\u003esorts so the pipe cleaners do not come out of the holes. Then bend the legs so your spider will\u003cbr\u003estand on his own.\u003cbr\u003eSpooky Ghosts\u003cbr\u003eHow To Make Your Own Spooky Halloween Crafts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBalloon Ghost\u003cbr\u003eFor this easy craft, you need two plastic grocery bags, a white balloon, and some tape (we\u003cbr\u003eprefer black duct tape because it holds better!) First, take and blow up the balloon tying a knot\u003cbr\u003ein the end of it.\u003cbr\u003eCut off the handles of the grocery bags and any writing on the bag. Starting at the open end of\u003cbr\u003ethe bag, cut into one inch strip up to about an inch away from the bottom of the bag where the\u003cbr\u003eseam is.\u003cbr\u003eWith the knot of the balloon at the top, tape one of the bags to the front of the ghost and one to\u003cbr\u003ethe back. Draw a spooky face on your ghost. Use a length of string to tie around the knot for\u003cbr\u003ehanging. You can also use a rubber band that is cut in half for hanging as well.\u003cbr\u003eGarbage Bag Ghosts\u003cbr\u003eUse balloons, white garbage bags (rectangle or square shaped), duct tape, and fishing line or\u003cbr\u003ethread. Blow up the balloon to about 6 inches. Figure out where you want your ghost to hang\u003cbr\u003eand cut 3 appropriate lengths of fishing line (leave yourself a little extra to play with).\u003cbr\u003eAttach a piece of fishing line or thread to the top, rounded part of the balloon using plenty of\u003cbr\u003educt tape. Make sure it is secure. Open the garbage bag and roll down the sides so the inside,\u003cbr\u003ebottom is exposed. Make a hole in the center of the bottom of the garbage bag just big enough\u003cbr\u003efor the fishing line or thread to fit through.\u003cbr\u003eGrab the end of the fishing line that is attached to your balloon, and thread it through the hole.\u003cbr\u003ePull it all the way through the hole so the bottom of the garbage bag rests against the balloon.\u003cbr\u003eRoll the sides back down so the balloon is in your garbage bag. Cut a smaller piece of fishing\u003cbr\u003eline or thread and loosely tie it around the bag where the balloon is to hold it in place. Don't pull\u003cbr\u003eit tight! Use a magic marker to make a face on the bag where the balloon is. I have also cut eye\u003cbr\u003eand mouth shapes out of construction paper and glued them in place. Tie or tape the other\u003cbr\u003eHow To Make Your Own Spooky Halloween Crafts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epieces of fishing line to the bottom corners of your garbage bag. These will be the ghost's arms.\u003cbr\u003eHang your ghost by tying up the loose ends of the 3 pieces of fishing line!\u003cbr\u003eOutside Decorations\u003cbr\u003eTombstones\u003cbr\u003eThese can be made in a couple of ways. You could get some wood and use a jigsaw to cut\u003cbr\u003ethem into the shape of a rounded tombstone. Then get some black and gray paint to paint\u003cbr\u003ethem. Use white or black paint – depending on which you used to paint: white for black\u003cbr\u003ebackground and black for gray background – and write funny sayings about your family.\u003cbr\u003eYou can also just put your family’s individual names and R.I.P. (rest in peace) or something like\u003cbr\u003ethat. Use your imagination and be creative. To insert them in the ground, all you need to do is\u003cbr\u003eget long screws and screw them into the bottom of the tombstone leaving a large part of it\u003cbr\u003esticking out. Then they can go into the ground and not fall over.\u003cbr\u003eYou can also do the same thing with heavy duty cardboard and make them the same way. If\u003cbr\u003eyou use heavy duty cardboard, make sure you spray them with a sealant to keep them from\u003cbr\u003ecollapsing in wet weather.\u003cbr\u003eTo put in the ground, all you need to do is cut a wire hanger into pie","brand":"Tea Time eBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083589206256,"sku":"2940014371452","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014371452_p0.jpg?v=1763607206","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014371452","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
