The vampire is a creation by my friend Jennifer. We were looking for some simple things to use since we have only a small box of Halloween decorations so far (until I finally get my things from the other side of the country!)
The Vampire is a milk jug painted white, the eyes were drawn and cut out then taped on and the mouth drawn on.
My Frankenstein is a butter bucket with construction paper for the face.
and finally the Shrunken Head was made (and meant to be a tree at first) by Jennifer with a paper bag and some paint.
Jar-o-lanterns. I used a pickle jar, a jam jar and a 2 oz baby food jar (which I have WAY too many of)
I mixed my own orange ++yellow +red
And I cut out construction paper for the face. I did my own face but if you don’t want to draw yours just Google pumpkin face stencil, there are plenty out there.
The ribbon is Halloween ribbon from Micheal’s
