Since I LOVE making and giving treats I made 2 different treat ideas for my boys to decide which one they wanted to hand out to their friends on Halloween.
Here they are....hope you like them :)
Here is project #1....I made some Twinkie Mummies....EEEKKK aren't they just the CUTEST??? Here is the original post where the idea came from. I have to admit it was my husband who found them :) I knew he had come craftiness in him!!!
Ok so they said these were easy to make....well they were not difficult...they just take some time. But the finished product looks and tastes so yummy!!!
To package them up, I used some clear treat bags and tied some Totally White Trendy Twine around the bottom. Then using My Creative Time~ Stitched Fun Ticket Dies and some white and black cardstock from my stash, I die cut the tickets and stamped my cute sentiment also from My Creative Time~ Spooky Starry Night stamp set.
These were a HUGE hit with the boys...
Now onto project #2....
I have been meaning to stamp these fun wooden Halloween images that I picked up from Micheal's last year and when I was going through my stash and came across them again I had the perfect idea for them. Since the Dracula is just way to cute, I set out on a mission to find some Dracula teeth as a treat.
I thought originally that the wax fangs would be a fun idea...well after getting a few home and letting my youngest have one, he was not too fond of the taste...LOL!
But instead I found these plastic mouth/fangs that had a sucker on the back (like a ring pop)
and tada...this is what came out of that...
So again, I used the clear treat bags and placed my fang suckers inside.....then using that cute Dracula stamp, I inked him up and stamped him on some white cardstock. I wanted to add alittle color to him so I took my red copic and colored his fangs and cape.
He was then mounted on a scalloped circle base and a hole was punched in the top to add as a tag.
I wrapped some Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine around the bag, added my tag and tied a simple bow. I guess I could have left it like that, but when I saw the fun sentiment from My Creative Time~All Around Halloween I knew I had to use it :)
So there are my projects....What do you think???
They jury is still out on which will be the treat of the day :)
Well I have kept you here long enough....
