Halloween Glass Blocks with Lights

I loved putting this project together. The pictures really do not do it justice. These glass block are just stunning.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the words on adhesive vinyl.

I wrapped this fantastic ribbon around the sides and into a bow on the top.

The purple mini lights and tulle inside the block give the perfect amount of shimmer.

I absolutely love it!

Here`s another saying

Trick or Treat

I gotta say, I love this ribbon!

The orange glow is so perfect!

The possibilities are endless...these would be perfect for Christmas too!

For those of you that do not have a vinyl cutting machine, adding stickers to the front is a perfect alternative.

These ones are great

A Glimpse of Halloween Past

It seems we all get excited for Halloween a little earlier each year. I think it is my favorite holiday next to Christmas. It seems a lot of crafters & bloggers love Halloween, I am amazed by all the creativity that I see this time of year. I wish I had an endless supply of products and supplies to craft with and that I didn't have to go to work all day but could stay home and create.

Today I thought I'd share with you my creations from the Halloween season last year.

A Glitzy Halloween Coffin

 Glitter anyone?

Have you seen these cute wooden coffins at Michaels?

I couldn't resist picking up a couple.

Earlier this week I picked up an awesome paper pad full of flocked and glitter scrapbook paper in blacks & creams. So perfect for an elegant Halloween. I traced all sides of the coffin onto the paper and cut it out. I used double sided tape to adhere to the coffin.

It turned out pretty sweet if you ask me.

But I couldn't stop there.

How's this for a glitzy & glamorous coffin. I used plain old Elmers school glue {the kind that dries clear} on the inside of the coffin and then sprinkled a ton of glitter.

A quick tip: spread your glue with a small paint brush, works like a charm.

Mr. Skeleton is ready for some Saturday Night Fever.

If only he could dance.

Q: Why didn't the skeleton dance at the Halloween party?

A: It had no body to dance with.

{Hee, hee, hee}

All glitzed out and no where to go.

{yes that's a word, I just made it up!}

For This is Hallowe'en! Printable

I saw this awesome Halloween Poem {author unknown} and I had to turn it into a printable. I'd recommend printing this at your local photo center since it's black. It's an 8x10 image.

Enjoy!

For This is Halloween

Sour Cream Containers

I have been making Halloween Sour Cream Containers for the past few years, they are great for giving out to the kids in your child's classroom or to the kids at the babysitters.

Here are a few I made this year.

I didn't take pics of the process but here's a great tutorial(scroll to the bottom of the page, click last page and then move back to page 34, it's about half way down the page). These are so simple to make, I usually make them when watching a favorite show.

I used a 6" x 6" piece of scrapbook paper. 

And I used my fence punch & a circle scallop & circle punch with a witch stamp to decorate the containers.

This is a paper crimper, I use it to crimp the ends of the container for a nice finished look.

Imagine, Improvise & Invent
