Halloween

This is one of my favorite times of year. The weather turns cooler and we get to be kids and decorate the heck out of our homes!

There are so many things to create to liven up your home and create a spectacular, whimisical setting.

Try making a "Happy Halloween" banner using recycled products. Here is an easy project using a computer user guide.... I mean, who really reads these anyway?!?
Level: Easy
Total Time: 1 hour







Materials
Black and Orange Cardstock, Scrapbooking, or Construction Paper
Glue and Hot Glue Gun
User's Manual
Creepy Crawlies
Scissors, regular and angled
Ribbon
White Copy Paper and PC
Instructions
On your PC, create HAPPY HALLOWEEN in your favorite font, 150 to 300 point size.
Print out and cut out each letter. Set aside.
Create large triangles out of the black paper, 15 in all. Happy(space)Halloween. Set aside.
Create smaller triangles out of the orange paper, trimming the edges for a festive look.
Again, create 15 in all.
Create small triangles out of the user guide.

Glue in this order:
Bottom: Black
Middle: Orange
Top: User Guide
Very Top: Letter

Now using a hot glue gun, glue a creepy crawly on each of the banners. When dry, glue a ribbon along the top of the banner to join them all together. Leave approximately 10-12" of extra ribbon on each end to secure to a wall or banister. Hang and enjoy!
