I can't believe I am already doing Halloween in January! I know Halloween is long way away, but I still found myself mooching in the baskets of odd Christmas decorations in various charity shops, while the opportunity was there, looking for orange baubles to make bits for my Halloween tree next year (..... that's me always planning ahead)
Sadly, no matter how hard I have tried these very sparkly orange baubles, which cost me 25p each just look pants in every picture I have taken, but, in my humble opinion, they look much better in "real life" than they do in this post, so my apologies.
I simply took the baubles and stuck Hema pumpkin face stickers on them ........ (£1 per pack from Hema, a shop very similar to Flying Tiger)
..... however, I didn't like the white bits, so coloured over them using a black Sharpie pen.
I also added black lines using the same pen to represent the ridges on the pumpkin.
On the back I put the word "Boo" and a few more lines.
If I find any more orange baubles on my travels I think I might miss out the stickers and simply draw a face or whatever straight on to them. I was also on the look out for a few white, navy and black baubles as I have a few ideas for them too .......
These are great. I have made my own glittery baubles, and even had a "Christmas Craft Night" when I taught my grandkids to make them, too. I bought clear baubles, we put some liquid floor wax inside, let it drain out until it stopped dripping and then added glitter to the inside. They were beautiful. I still have some clear baubles in my stash, so I should make some more.
