I recently purchased the craft book Generation T beyond fashion by Megan Nicolay. She is amazing. Who knew there were so many ways to bring life back into an old T-shirt. The laced fingerless gloves or, “gimme some glovin” as Megan Nicolay calls it, was the first project I tried out of her book for my daughter, although I didn’t use a T-shirt but an old pair of her leggings instead. She needed something a little extra for her Halloween costume, she was half an angel and half devil, and these laced gloves were just the ticket. She thought they were cool and a little bit rocker that fit the devil side of her costume. Read More
Halloween Spider Craft
I wish I could take credit for this one but it belongs to Michael’s. When I was searching for a fun way to serve candy at my daughter’s Halloween class party, I came across this on Michael’s website under projects. I instantly fell in love with this creative way to use a craft pumpkin and the instructions are pretty straight forward. I did make a couple minor modifications to my spider, for instance, instead of using decoupage and glitter for the mouth opening, I just went straight to glitter glue (combined two items into one easy step) and then I used a different design for the eyes. But these were just my preferences, feel free to make your own modifications to make this your own creation; use different colors, sizes, or other creative ideas you can think of. It’s Halloween and spiders, monsters, and ghouls come in all shapes and sizes. Read More
