Bleeding Candles

Super easy Halloween decoration ...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL AROUND THE FLAMES!


Supplies:
White candle
Red candle
Lighter


Put the white candle in a candle holder. 
Light the red candle and hold it over the white candle letting the melting wax drip down.
As the wax runs, it will dry making it look like your candle is bleeding.
 

 Told you it was easy!

Monster Bowling

 Every year, we have a Halloween party for our little friends and relatives who we won't get to see on Halloween. I try to make at least one new game each year. This year I made ... Monster Bowling


I convinced hubby that he wanted to cut up a piece of 2x4 into 10" pieces for me. We made 6 in total. 
Sanding off the rough edges and splinters

I painted each one a different color using craft paint.


Using Mod Podge & monster face printables that I found at Design Dazzle .

 All done! 



Only after I had them finished did I think about the noise factor as the kids knocked them down. I guess I'll be handing out Advil and ear plugs to any adults who stay at the party, lol

Candy Corn

Pretty simple to make.

Cut a candy corn shape out of wood
Paint it white

Lightly mark the lines for the different colors

First the orange

Then the yellow (the white tip is already there ;))

Clear coat it to make it weather-proof

Add spikes to the back & pop into the ground :)
