Hanging Around

The skull clothing hangers at Urban Outfitters have been on my want list. The hangers would look lovely draped with semi sheer fabric hanging along a porch as simple spirits.

Halloween at JoAnn Fabric

Not much to see at JoAnn yet except a few scarecrows and pumpkins. There was the promise of things to come on the display sheets.

Halloween Boutique at Rodgers Gardens 2013

Love the walk through videos each year at Rodgers Gardens Halloween display. The little tabletop dress forms with painted rib cages are adorable. I have a child size dress form that might need this treatment.

Toying with making some large cut outs this year in corrugated plastic. Back light the characters. A trio in the lot next door would show up well from the road. Image found here.

Steampunk Halloween

Love the mix of Halloween and Steampunk in this tea light holder. Instructions and materials for making 4 different tea light holders are here.

Squash Softies

Craft project for making fun fur and fleece pumpkins. I'm afraid they would turn in to Halloween tribbles in my hands. All left over fun fur from costume projects gets turned in to tribbles at my house.

Halloween Tubular Crinoline at Michaels

Michaels this year has bags of mesh tubing or tubular crinoline. 2 different color bags. 35 yards of 6mm tubing. My bag has black, white, orange, purple, and lime. Running little lights through the tubes creates a diffused light. Its handy for hiding cords on light strings running in to lanterns.

Ethafoam rope threaded in to the crin makes great snakes for a Medusa headdress. Ethafoam is soft so it works well for dancers. Be warned if working on craft projects that cats love this stuff!
